Ordering in food is probably the most wasteful dangerous thing the average young person can do. Food costs 20x more than making it yourself, getting it in your hands in perfect condition is a random crapshoot (from cold food to left out ingredients multiple difficulty level by number of meals) and there is no more likely way to catch illnesses, food poisoning and lifelong stomach issues.
I stopped ordering out and started preparing meals ahead. No more nervous days wondering if the food will come, no more angry phone calls trying to get items fixed, no more delivery fees+tip+taxes+plus insane cost of food.

Where I live it, most of the food deliveries were bicycle based a few years ago. Now it's all cars, mopeds and e-bikes (the best of a bad bunch) as anything less makes the delivery driver less competitive against the others. The bikes/e-bikes ignore traffic lights and flow, causing close-calls and collisions in pedestrian areas (where they pick up the food). None of the economic, environmental and moral (laziness) waste can possibly be justified for the sort of rubbish that is being sold on a takeaway app. It's always just junk like burgers, chips, and cakes.
