> So city dwellers in the ancient Roman world did not have kitchens

Thats not true ( https://quatr.us/romans/roman-kitchens-houses-ancient-rome.h... ).

Rich romans did have kitchens, poor people could not afford one and instead made food in their appartment room or bought food from streetvendors or takeout food from thermopolia.

There was likely no demand for food delivery as poor people couldnt afford it and rich people had slaves to make their food.
