The 2010s in food trends—delivery upended the way we think about meals
Grocery and restaurant delivery has been around for generations. But before the 2010s, customers had to do some work to make sure food arrived at their doors.
Likewise, getting restaurant food delivered often meant you had to have paper menus in your house, until you ordered frequently enough that you could tell the place to send “the usual.” Delivery apps made all manner of restaurant food available, from luxury to cheap, while individual restaurants made it easy to send their wares.
The share of Americans who have ordered food via the Web grew to 24 percent this past year, a leap from 17 percent, The Atlantic reported. Shopping apps offer multiple brands. If Whole Foods doesn’t have it, Safeway might. You might prefer Aldi’s lower prices, or the availability at Kroger. Simply pick the store and the items, and delivery companies can bring them.
