Director Statement

"OTW" represents the individuals who take food delivery drivers for granted. During and after MCO, ordering food online has become a routine and the drivers constantly risk themselves to complete the delivery, whether is it harsh weather, traffic jam, or accident; they always go the extra mile to deliver your meal.
Customers are too focused on the service of perfect timing that they would act rudely and sometimes use physical force on the driver for being slightly late.
