I suspect you may be preaching to the choir here... I'd be curious to know how many people reading this at eGullet actually use app-based delivery on any kind of regular basis. A couple of times a year I get pizza delivered, but always directly from the pizza place, never via an independent app. On a whim I once had cookies delivered to a class I was teaching, but again, direct from Insomnia, not via an outside app. Does anyone here find themselves using one of the multi-restaurant delivery services?

 

I try not to preach...I started what I believed to be an interesting topic about Food Traditions and Culture, based on this reporting:

 

Quote

84% of U.S. adults ordering delivery or takeout at least once a month

 

So that's, doing some quick back of the envelope math, about 168 million people based on the 2018 US census.

 

The second sentence of the quoted post is interesting as well, and a nice way to steer the OP away from the point it was attempting to make. Might've even been a good topic on its own.
