About half of 18-to34-year-olds say they are ordering food to go more often now than they were three years ago. As takeout becomes a more widespread and engrained consumer habit, this service will steal a growing share of restaurant business.
Technomic’s recently released “2016 Takeout & Off-Premise Dining Consumer Trend Report” reveals how delivery will play an increasingly large role in foodservice. Nearly half of consumers aged 18-34 (46%) say they would use delivery for takeout orders at limited-service restaurants, and half of that age bracket says the same for full-service restaurants.
