I like your thoughts among all other General Manager approaches. Best was to sustain the business in non dense area by adding additional delivery charge however feasibility of this still can be considered for charging or not charging customer. One suggestion for serious trust problem i.e disagreement of customer and delivery boy about the delivery which can be handled by using otp sharing as IT app development is being considered for tracking location which will require additional supervisory cost. Otp can be simple solution where customer will provide otp to delivery boy at the time of delivery. All the best. Wish you good luck. Thanks
