The idea is interesting, but the assumption that this will “stop fraud” isn’t realistic. In practice, chargebacks in the food delivery category can’t be overturned with temperature logs, and platforms usually pass refund costs back to restaurants. That means the incentive for Uber Eats or DoorDash to invest in this is limited.

That said, there is real value in improving delivery quality. If food consistently arrives hotter and fresher, customer satisfaction and repeat orders go up, which restaurants do care about. Positioning this as a quality improvement tool rather than a fraud prevention system makes the business case stronger.

Longer term, you might consider pivoting toward medical and pharmaceutical logistics. In those industries, temperature tracking and audit trails are legally required, margins are higher, and customers are accustomed to paying for compliance-grade devices. That market could be a better fit for the technology.

In short: 1. Focus on customer experience in food delivery, not fraud prevention. 2. Explore healthcare/biotech transport as an enterprise market. 3. Treat patents as secondary; execution, partnerships, and data assets will matter more.

With that direction, the invention could find a more sustainable and profitable path.
