# Delivery Areas Defining the delivery areas allow each venue to define where deliveries are **available**. This ensures efficient delivery times, prevents drivers from travelling excessive distances, and allows for the exclusion of unsafe or inaccessible areas. A simple radius (e.g., 5 km) is rarely sufficient, as natural barriers such as rivers, parks, or restricted roads can make some locations impractical. The system supports **custom-shaped delivery zones** to account for real-world delivery conditions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
