He will lease the unit at 5 Stirling Street from Falkirk Council, filling a vacant unit in the row of shops that were redeveloped in 2017.
Members heard it will be a family run business and, initially at least, most deliveries would be carried out by a family member, with customers using the Snappy Shopper app to order.
Before the licence is confirmed, the board has set a condition that a "more robust" delivery policy is approved, working with Falkirk Council's licensing standards officers.
