Even before the epidemic, an increasing number of people were ordering takeout rather than picking it up, or ordering goods to be delivered to their home rather of going to the shop.
At first, it seemed that this type of business was created to increase revenue, but over time and under the influence of many other objective factors, Online Food Delivery Service has become an important thing for both restaurants and consumers. For businesses, first, using multiple methods to reach customers is a good way to increase sales. Especially in such a competitive market, it is important to stay ahead of the competition. lOMoARcPSD|22243379 Therefore, if a restaurant does not apply these advanced technology applications, customers will choose other competitors that they find more convenient.
Moreover, according to recent surveys, customers tend to order food in larger quantities when ordering online. This demonstrates how online delivery can increase sales. Even though the orders are tiny, the average customer orders more food in the overall picture. As a result of more sales, the consumer pays a higher amount of fees.
Ultimately, opening a store for delivery leads to more new customers finding you. Imagine you are a hungry customer browsing through Loship for lunch when suddenly you see a new store popping up that you like. Especially as more and more people are turning to ordering food online instead of venturing out of town, chances are you haven't seen the new restaurant yet. And of course, more outreach to new customers leads to more revenue and more returning customers.
For customers, the first important thing about OFDS is convenience in the current busy life and epidemic period. The absence of queues and crowds in crowded eateries makes for a better and safer customer experience. While waiting for the food to arrive, people can do what they want or relax after stressful working hours. In addition, knowing the price of the dish before ordering will help users feel more secure, especially for students and low-income people.
With online ordering, all preferences are specified directly by the customer, so there is no room for confusions or misunderstandings. Finally, consumers won't have to worry when ordering online and can thoroughly explore a restaurant's food through public reviews from previous customers. This results in customers saving money and shopping smarter. Overall, the OFDS industry creates millions of jobs for people in the context of rising unemployment due to the development of machines.
In addition, it also helps users have more time and energy to work more. These two things are for the economy of developed countries and diversifying types of services to help improve people's living standards.2 Previous research results: As previously mentioned, online food delivery is now very popular with everyone, especially youngsters - who are highly adaptive to modern technology. Therefore, a large amount of research and study have been conducted not only in Vietnam but also in foreign countries to collect more information about online food delivery services and users’ behavior.
