Like if the food was supposed to be deliver in 20 minutes, but the delivery driver got it to you in 15?

The delivery driver has 0 control over this.

They do when they take multiple orders at multiple restaurants before delivering your food.

How does doing that shave 5 minutes off a 20 min ETA?

No idea what the time estimates are based on, but 20mins is a long time and food will certainly be cold was my point.
