The key takeaways are that ZapMeals aims to be an online meal ordering and delivery service that connects local food preparers with consumers. It wants to help both small food businesses get started and help consumers easily find and order great fast food options.

ZapMeals aims to solve the problem that fast food options are not always good, cheap, or fast to obtain for consumers. It also aims to help small food businesses overcome challenges like determining if there is a market for their cooking and high startup costs of opening a traditional restaurant.

ZapMeals proposes to solve this problem by helping small food businesses list and advertise their offerings on its platform. It will also connect consumers to these options based on search filters like cuisine, price, ratings and estimated delivery time. Orders will be picked up and delivered by an independent agent network with real-time tracking.
