Work and beyond: the convenience of takeaway food

Delivery and take away are two concepts that have now become part of the daily lives of thousands of Americans. We are talking about the food sector, a sector that is continuously evolving, where more and more people are looking, in addition to the quality of the proposal, for the convenience of efficient services that allow them to save time and travel.

Among these, the most popular options are home delivery and pick-up, solutions that are very popular not only among young people, but also among adult consumers who use them for a variety of reasons.

Delivery and take away, who are the main customers?

Both in the form of delivery and that of take-away, ready-made food is now an essential opportunity for different targets of people.

Among these, families stand out first of all, in which both parents are often busy with work throughout the day and therefore have little time to devote to home management and household chores, including committing to cooking meals. 

Then there are the very young and those belonging to the "Generation Z" category, who are passionate about the consumption of food outside the home, activities that they repeat several times throughout the week, and curious to always be experimenting with new cuisines.

Another important segment of takeaway food buyers is composed of workers and office employees, who are not necessarily with their families, who also frequently resort to gastronomy services and the convenience of ready-made dishes for their lunch breaks.

Companies and offices are also loyal customers of takeaway food, buying entire menus for their employees, as are schools. In both of these cases, long-term collaborations are usually stipulated with delivery and take-away companies, in a relationship of mutual trust that can last over time.

Finally, we note the advantage of takeaway food on the occasion of private parties (birthdays, school and university parties, religious groups, associations and sports meetings, etc.), where food delivery is the winning card for the organisers to enjoy the event carefree. 

All the advantages of takeaway food

What is the reason for the huge popularity of takeaway food in America? Here are its undeniable advantages:

• Takeaway food is a practical and quick solution for those who do not have time to cook, or feel too lazy to do so
• According to many Americans, takeaway food is better than that prepared in restaurants, and at a cheaper price
• It is a perfect formula for those who love to discover different flavours from the most far-flung countries in the world
• Takeaway food offers a variety of tastes and breaks the monotony of home menus, which due to seasonal or resource-based needs, tend to repeat themselves
• Guarantees economic savings: takeaway food is usually less expensive than a meal eaten at a restaurant, and it is easy to combine it with drinks and beers available at home or in the office without needing to buy them
• Enables guests to enjoy themselves without the commitment of having to shop, prepare dishes, pay attention to cooking, clean pots and cooktops
• It allows you to taste food in the privacy of home, without the typical crowding of restaurants
• Promotes the maintenance of a healthy and balanced diet: takeaway food made with fresh ingredients and authentic recipes is certainly of a higher quality than the prepared food available in supermarkets.

Finally, let us bear in mind that takeaway food is well suited for people with objective difficulties in the autonomous preparation of dishes: we might think of families with young children, the disabled, or the elderly. In short, it is an advantageous choice that meets the needs of specific categories of users, according to an inclusive and egalitarian logic.
