What is a delivery area?
A delivery area (or delivery zone) is the geographic region within which a business will deliver orders, typically defined by drive time rather than distance. Delivery zones are shorter than service areas because product quality or driver economics set tight ceilings on round-trip time.
- Hot-food delivery (pizza, takeout) typically uses 15-20 minute zones to preserve food quality.
- Grocery and meal-kit delivery often extends to 30-45 minutes.
- Florists and same-day retail commonly use 30-45 minute zones during business hours.
- Most restaurants run tiered zones: free within 10 minutes, small fee for 10-20 minutes, premium fee beyond.
A delivery area is effectively a shorter-cycle service area. The same drive-time polygon powers both; the difference is the time threshold the business commits to.

Delivery zone templates by business type
Each template is tuned to how that business type actually runs delivery — product-quality ceilings, peak-time capacity, and pricing tiers. Same tool, different defaults and benchmarks so you don't have to guess.

Benefits of Drive Time Delivery Zones
Better Food Quality
Food arrives hot and fresh when delivery zones are based on actual drive times, not arbitrary distances. Customers within your zone get consistent quality.
Cost Control
Know exactly how far your drivers will travel. Avoid unprofitable deliveries that take too long or use too much fuel. Set delivery fees accurately by zone.
Clear Customer Communication
No more confusion about whether you deliver to an address. Customers check the map and know instantly if they're in your delivery zone.
Common Delivery Zone Strategies
Single Zone - Simple Delivery
One delivery area, one delivery fee. Example: "We deliver free within 20 minutes of our location."
Tiered Zones - Distance-Based Fees
Multiple zones with different fees. Example: "Free delivery within 10 minutes, $3 fee for 10-20 minutes, $6 fee for 20-30 minutes."
Peak Time Adjustments
Reduce delivery radius during busy periods to maintain quality. Example: "Friday night delivery zone reduced to 15 minutes to ensure hot food."
Delivery Area Map FAQs
What is a delivery area map?
A delivery area map (also called a delivery zone map or delivery radius map) shows the geographic area where a business will deliver orders. Our maps use actual drive times for accurate boundaries.
How do I determine my delivery radius?
Consider your product (hot food needs shorter times), driver availability, and profitability. Most restaurants use 15-30 minute delivery zones. Enter your location and test different times to find the right balance.
Why isn't my delivery zone a perfect circle?
Real roads aren't arranged in perfect grids. Your drivers can travel further on highways than through residential streets in the same time. Our maps show actual reachable areas, not theoretical circles.
Can I add my delivery zone map to my website?
Yes! After creating your delivery area map, generate a shareable link or embed code. Add it to your website so customers can check if they're within your delivery zone before ordering.
How do I create multiple delivery zones with different fees?
Create separate maps for each zone (e.g., 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes). Each represents a different delivery tier where you can apply different fees or minimum orders.
