System And Method For Food Delivery

Abstract

A food delivery system includes a wrapper, a top bun, a beef patty, a slice of cheese, and a bottom bun. The beef patty has a bottom surface that is adjacent to a bottom portion of an internal surface of the wrapper. The slice of cheese is melted between a bottom surface of the top bun and a top surface of the beef patty. The bottom bun has a bottom surface that is adjacent to a top surface of the top bun and a top surface that is adjacent to a top portion of the internal surface of the wrapper. The wrapper is wrapped to form an enclosed package containing in sequential order the bottom bun, the top bun, the slice of cheese, and the beef patty.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A food delivery system comprising:
 a wrapper having a top portion and a bottom portion connected by an internal surface and an external surface;   a top bun having a top surface and a bottom surface;   a beef patty having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the beef patty being adjacent to the bottom portion of the internal surface of the wrapper;   a slice of cheese melted between the bottom surface of the top bun and the top surface of the beef patty; and   a bottom bun having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the top bun being adjacent to the top surface of the top bun, the top surface of the bottom bun being adjacent to the top portion of the internal surface of the wrapper, the wrapper being wrapped to form an enclosed package containing in sequential order the bottom bun, the top bun, the slice of cheese, and the beef patty.   
     
     
         2 . The food delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the beef patty is in direct contact with the bottom portion of the internal surface of the wrapper, juices flowing from the beef patty being collected at the bottom portion of the internal surface of the wrapper. 
     
     
         3 . The food delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the bottom bun is in direct contact with the top surface of the top bun. 
     
     
         4 . The food delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the bottom bun is in direct contact with the top portion of the internal surface of the wrapper. 
     
     
         5 . The food delivery system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one separate package, the at least one separate package containing items selected from a group consisting of condiments and cold-produce toppings. 
     
     
         6 . The food delivery system of  claim 1 , further comprising a first bag containing condiments and a second bag containing cold-produce toppings. 
     
     
         7 . The food delivery system of  claim 1 , further comprising a container including a heating compartment and a heated compartment, the enclosed package being positioned in the heated compartment. 
     
     
         8 . The food delivery system of  claim 7 , further comprising a heating element located in the heating compartment. 
     
     
         9 . The food delivery system of  claim 8 , wherein the heating element radiates heat to maintain an optimum holding temperature, the optimum holding temperature being in the range of about 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit lower than a cooked temperature of the beef patty. 
     
     
         10 . The food delivery system of  claim 1 , further comprising an instructions label affixed to the external surface of the wrapper. 
     
     
         11 . A method for delivering food, the method comprising:
 providing an aluminum wrapper having a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion and the bottom portion being connected by an internal surface and an external surface;   cooking a beef patty in a cooking area;   forming a top portion of a burger by placing a slice of melted cheese between a bottom surface of a top bun and a top surface of the beef patty;   placing the top portion of the burger in contact with an internal surface of the bottom portion of the aluminum wrapper, a bottom surface of the beef patty being adjacent to the internal surface of the bottom portion of the aluminum wrapper;   placing a bottom portion of the burger in contact with the internal surface of the top portion of the aluminum wrapper, the bottom portion of the burger including a bottom bun having a bottom surface adjacent to a top surface of the top bun, the bottom bun having a top surface adjacent to the internal surface of the top portion of the aluminum wrapper;   wrapping the aluminum wrapper around the burger to form an enclosed package; and   delivering the enclosed package to an off-site area.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising placing the bottom surface of the beef patty in direct contact with the bottom portion of the internal surface of the aluminum wrapper, the bottom portion of the internal surface of the aluminum wrapper collecting juices flowing from the beef patty. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising placing the bottom surface of the bottom bun in direct contact with the top surface of the top bun. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising placing the top surface of the bottom bun in direct contact with the top portion of the internal surface of the aluminum wrapper. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising delivering at least one separate package, the at least one separate package containing items selected from a group consisting of condiments and cold-produce toppings. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising delivering at least one bag containing one or more condiments and cold-produce toppings. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising delivering a first bag containing one or more condiments and a second bag containing one or more cold-produce toppings. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising maintaining the enclosed package in a heated compartment while in transit between the cooking area and the off-site area. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising affixing an instructions label to the external surface of the aluminum wrapper. 
     
     
         20 . A food delivery system comprising:
 an aluminum wrapper with a top internal surface and a bottom internal surface;   a top bun having a top surface and a bottom surface;   a cooked meat patty having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the patty being adjacent to the bottom internal surface of the aluminum wrapper;   a slice of cheese melted between the bottom surface of the top bun and the top surface of the patty; and   a bottom bun having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the bottom bun being adjacent to the top surface of the top bun, the top surface of the bottom bun being adjacent to the top internal surface of the aluminum wrapper, the wrapper being formed to enclose the bottom bun in a package along with the top bun, the patty, and the slice of cheese.
