These convenient dining innovations range from gourmet takeout kits to on-demand taco deliveries that are ideal for busy consumers who want to indulge while on the go. In addition to fast food delivery services and organic drive-thru eateries, other favorites include online bakeries and local food subscriptions that are designed to save consumers time and money.
Much like beauty and toy subscriptions, meal prep, ingredient and pre-made food subscriptions have also gained a massive following in recent months. Standouts include health-focused grocery subscriptions from Door-to-Door along with Daily Grill's pre-packed picnic kits that are equipped with delicious food and wine pairings.
Other favorites include fast food bike carriers -- ideal for the busy professional who cycles to and from work -- and recipe-based grocers who offer a select number of curated ingredients.
