Online food ordering is the process of ordering food, for delivery or pickup, from a website or other application. The product can be either ready-to-eat food (e.g., direct from a home-kitchen, restaurant, or a virtual restaurant) or food that has not been specially prepared for direct consumption (e.g., vegetables direct from a farm/garden, fruits, frozen meats. etc).
The launch represented an attempt to replicate models operated by the BWG Foods' Spar chain and the Musgrave-owned Centra chain.

It is claimed in the main article that the Save-On-Foods chain was founded in 1915, but this is not true. It was actually the Overwaitea chain that was founded in 1915, while the first stores to open under the Save-On-Foods name opened in 1982 in the Greater Vancouver area. The founding date for Save-On-Foods should be changed to reflect this.
