Many people completely stopped online takeaway orders during COVID-19. This could be due to the contamination risks of eating outside food, or because of a tighter purse. Despite that, around 18% people increased their online takeaway orders, which shows a strong buyer’s preference. If you are a home-cooked tiffin/meal service, or a housewife with great culinary skills or a restaurant offering a home-quality food, but cannot have your customers inside your premises, then you must provide your buyers with an online takeaway ordering option. Customers are always in search of something unique, new, and authentic. This is a great time to build your loyal customer base by offering them authentic, tasty, healthy food options.
