Delivery-Only

Delivery-only restaurants streamline their processes in favor of convenience

Trend - Delivery-only restaurants are increasingly becoming the norm as small business owners in the food industry look to streamline their workload while still offering excellent service to their patrons.

Insight - When making purchasing decisions about food, busy consumers often prioritize convenience as much as they do things like flavor, cost, and quality. These consumers are drawn to brands that provide them with quick and convenient service, but in a way that doesn't sacrifice the quality of the products being offered–especially when they're offered in a "specialty" capacity.
Workshop Question - How could your brand prioritize convenience without sacrificing quality for its customers?
Trend Themes
1. Delivery-only Restaurants - Delivery-only restaurants are becoming more popular as an efficient means for small business owners in the food industry to offer convenience to consumers.
2. Virtual Restaurant Concepts - Virtual restaurant concepts offer businesses new ways to expand their offerings beyond traditional dine-in establishments, furthering the trend towards convenience for busy consumers.
3. Specialty Delivery Services - Specialty delivery services, such as diet-specific delivery or high-quality courier delivery, are offering a new level of convenience to consumers that prioritize quality and customization.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry benefits from offering delivery-only options and virtual concepts to cater to consumers' busy and changing lifestyles.
2. Logistics and Delivery - Logistics and delivery industries are impacted by the increased demand for new and innovative delivery services to meet the needs of today's consumers.
3. Technology - Technology companies benefit from creating and supporting innovative apps and platforms to facilitate the growth of online delivery services.
