The food industry is becoming more accessible, not only large restaurants, but also restaurants founded by Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
which proves that there is a change in people's appetite for technological advances so that purchasing products is easier without having to leave the house, thereby reducing costs.
accordance with cost accounting, costs can be minimized by reducing the costs in the transaction component, as in the research of Muhammad et al.
explained that there are changes in distribution routes to save transportation costs using the saving matrix method, which discusses changes in product distribution routes to consumer so that the capacity and transportation costs are low.
The selection of this route has an impact on savings made by the company.
These changes in financing can affect future decision-making because with smaller costs, companies can also maximize profits.
The food industry is increasingly widespread because of the tendency of MSMEs who can start their businesses with limited capital, and there is not too much need to spend rent on a large area for business activities.
The existence of regular customers provides benefits and convenience for sellers because regular customers do not think too much about price changes, have the capacity to spend a larger amount, and have the opportunity to provide information about valuations, and experiences and can recommend it to others.
Therefore, sellers must be able to retain customers by improving service in maintaining profits (Gupta & Kim.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Transportation Costs Salama et al.
and Yi et al.
discussed transportation costs involving transportation activities using means of transportation.
If there is only one type of truck and there is no determination regarding other considerations in determining transportation, for example, dimensions, weight capacity, and level of transportation costs need to be measured to reduce costs incurred so as to get maximum profit.
The determination of transportation costs must be determined.
Cheng & Wang .
researched the importance of transportation costs in various countries, and there are two technological changes, namely technological changes that provide improvements in productivity and technological changes that can reduce the number of transportation When there is a reduction in transportation costs internationally, it can cause a decrease in prices, namely a decrease in the price of imported goods and an increase in There are technological changes that have a positive impact on countries that have significantly adopted the technology.

H2: Normative Positively Affects Food Prices.
Behaviour Community behavior is to measure the actions of a society.
Wardani et al.
explained the analysis of factors that affect purchases, especially the food at Shopeefood.
The results of this study provide evidence of the need for factors that provide influence based on purchasing decisions by determining the implementation of Shopeefood services, namely the development of Shopeefood, the more widespread and strong influence for the implementation of savings, the existence of discounts, namely price cuts provide an increase in public interest in ordering online, there is an efficiency in reducing time, so that with the existence of Shopeefood, it is hoped that MSMEs the more the profit increases.
The public is also expected to be interested in placing orders This affects consumer behavior in making choices, especially food prices.
H3: Behavior positively affects food prices.
Food Prices The influence of e-commerce is a development of advanced internet technology by utilizing consumers to business people regarding the purchase and implementation of the sale of goods (Mumtahana.

CONCLUSION
This study provides a quantitative explanation of the effect of transportation costs on the food prices of Shopeefood and Grabfood applications.
The results of this study explain that there are only two hypotheses accepted, namely transportation costs have a positive effect on food prices and normatively affect food prices, while uninhabited behavior does not affect food prices.
The results of the study provide evidence of different decision-making in each individual in the use of food ordering applications.
Food ordering applications are considered to help people in ordering food quickly .
fficiently and effectivel.
With an ordering application, it can help merchants .
so that their food is more in demand and the community feels helped to get food on time, but this can be undone if the transportation costs for ordering food are too expensive.
For example, transportation costs are too high.
All respondents, on average, already understand the use of food ordering applications, but the most important thing is when the tariffs are too expensive, so there needs to be a decision made on the part of the application to be wise in increasing tariffs.
The implications of the research are .
For companies, they can develop applications to make them more accessible and can determine tariffs that are not burdensome to customers, .
For the public, they can provide a comparison of options in ordering products such as food and make it easier to make decisions about prices.
The limitations of the study are still dominated by the Jabodetabek area with a total of 61 respondents.
The next suggestions are .
adding a sample of research to see changes more effectively, .
using additional management and financial variables such as consumer tastes, income and others.
