Delivery services are actually deterring people from eating out. This is according to a new study. 2413 customers were surveyed and 43 percent of them agreed that they eat out a lot less since they discovered online delivery operators. 25 percent disagreed with them. Two thirds of people preferred to use UberEats and other delivery services. There was a generational divide and younger people are much more inclined to use delivery apps compared to older people.

Key Takeaways:

• Studies have found that when delivery services are available, people are more likely to have food delivered.
• The findings indicate that the younger the customer the more likely they are to stay home and have the food delivered
• Restaurants must be aware of this trend and adjust their business model to accomidate this trend
