Platform Economics represents a new economic paradigm characterized by internet platforms as the main carrier, data as a key production factor, next-generation information technology as the core driver, and network information infrastructure as critical support. In recent years, the concept of platform economics has gained widespread dissemination and application. Among its various forms, food delivery platform economics stands out as a primary type. Beyond rapid development, large scale, and extensive participation, food delivery platforms exemplify a typical development model of platform economics under capital dominance. This model involves complex relationships between platform organizations and multiple user entities, comprehensively reflecting the main operational logic and characteristics of contemporary platform economics.
