As many restaurants remain vulnerable to imposed restrictions and strict sanitary regulations in light of the recent pandemic, online food orders and contactless home deliveries have come to the rescue. Restaurants are investing in developing their own integrated online platform and apps, with digital proximity allowing them to stay closely connected to their customers despite the physical distance.
Online food ordering and delivery services are here to stay as people grow used to getting the food they want, when and where they want it, at the click of a button. At this pace, the food ordering and delivery space is expected to reach $369.97 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 13.2 percent.
One of the trends revolutionizing the industry is ghost/virtual/cloud kitchens, a setup where a restaurant rents space to prepare delivery-optimized menu items. These kitchens do not provide physical dining spaces but only receive takeout orders via apps, helping restaurants save costs in managing the order distribution process.
To put the spotlight on such key developments in the industry, Food and Beverages Tech Review illustrates how the food ordering and delivery tech space is leveraging the cloud kitchen trend optimally. This edition also features thought leadership articles from subject matter experts. Some of the exclusive insights are authored by Jason Suarez, Executive Director, Technology Product Management at Dine Brands Global; Pawel Nowak, CEO at Goodvalley; and Marco Albino, Director Supply Chain at Granarolo Group.
