Yeah pretty much. Imagine a communist centralised and planned distribution system for stuff like this. Would be cool.
Basically what Chinese cops did during the most severe COVID lockdowns, although you had to cook it yourself after they brought it to you.
India has chai wallahs and the food guys who deliver meals from home or restaurants and apparently have just an absurdly sophisticated logistics sysem run by what's somewhere between a union and a guild.

One of the guiding principles of Soviet city planning was laying out districts so you didn't need this. Most factories and workplaces had canteens on site, and all those terrible terrible brutalist apartments that somehow only exist in winter were built with schools, groceries, transit links, gyms, theaters and restaurants withing easy walking distance. "Fifteen minute cities" except real, not some neoliberal public private bullshit. Idk if it always worked or how well it worked, but that was the goal of a lot of city planning. They wanted people to have everything they would need within like a square km or something.
