So there must have been demand for food delivery... I wonder if they accomplished it with slaves?
Well there is some history:

The Indian "dabbawala" maybe is where it has to go: some kind of standardized service where one driver can deliver to many people in a single traveling-salesman minimized trip. The packaging is designed to keep the food warm for a long time to allow this. But this probably only works for pre-arranged food delivery, not call for food now.
