[Delivery & Dispatch](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/blaze-retail?hsLang=en#delivery-dispatch) # Retail | How to Set Up Your Delivery Service ## There are three popular ways to conduct your delivery business The 3 popular ways to conduct a delivery service are ice cream truck, pizza delivery, or a hybrid of the two. - Ice cream truck entails that the driver carries their own inventory that they pack orders from. - Pizza delivery entails that the driver only delivers already packed orders (generally packed by a dispatcher). - A hybrid of the two would combine both models: Drivers leave with X number/dollar amount worth of pre-packed orders and after/while running those deliveries, may remain out in the field to accept new orders from dispatch that they pack themselves from their mobile inventory set. - The ice cream truck model increases liability due to your driver carrying their own inventory around. - However, all methods work with BLAZE. ### Overview 1. [Enable the Delivery Queue](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-set-up-your-delivery-service#Enable) 2. [Create specific Inventories ](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-set-up-your-delivery-service#Create) 3. [Assign the created inventory to a Terminal](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-set-up-your-delivery-service#Assign) 4. [Assign the Terminal to the driver ](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-set-up-your-delivery-service#driver) 5. [Transfer products into the delivery Inventory](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-set-up-your-delivery-service#Transfer) 6. [Create orders within the Dispatch section and assign them to your drivers out in the field](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-set-up-your-delivery-service#order) 7. [Have your drivers download the](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-set-up-your-delivery-service#Have) [BLAZE Delivery app](https://blaze-6831432.hs-sites.com/hc/en-us/articles/retail-blaze-delivery-app?hsLang=en) on their smartphones and manage their assigned orders ### 1.
