Wow! Something similar for me: in 2007 I built a website that had the same functionality as Hungry House. Basically a place where take-away restaurants could put their menus up and take orders. It didn't take off and it only cost me a couple of month's of work. Then Hungry House, Uber Eats etc came along a decade later and nailed it.
To be fair to you, I don't imagine they did anything better than you on the menus and ordering, it's the fact that they provide the delivery that made it work
I remember thinking about making a website that would let people buy groceries from my site at a markup, then I'd go to the local stores, do the shopping, and deliver it to them. That was probably around ~8 years ago, inspired by my job managing a pizza place. Like "Hey, people are lazy and love getting food delivered to them, why doesn't anyone do groceries, too?"
Though I never built it out because a developer I may be, a businessman I am not.
