The most famous of these could perhaps be the one between <strong>McDonald\u2019s<\/strong> and Uber Eats established in 2017. McDonald\u2019s announced earlier in 2019 that, although it would still be offering delivery with Uber Eats, they no longer had an exclusive partnership as they brought in DoorDash. McDonald\u2019s has now, in the past few days, announced a partnership with Grubhub to expand delivery to 500 restaurants in the NYC metro area. All of this brings third party delivery to more than 10,000 McDonald\u2019s locations.<\/p>\n<p>What we\u2019ve seen in the market recently are two things: the departure from exclusive contracts in order to create a larger pool of prospects and customers having to use a variety of apps in order to access different restaurants. What does this boil down to? It\u2019s the Wild West of food delivery right now. Consumers are feigning loyalty to any one delivery provider because they want what they want, when they want it, which opens the door to new competitors.<\/p>\n<p>With the adoption of new technology comes new opportunity. Year over year, studies show that a 6% increase has occurred in the amount of Americans who have used one of these services; 24% versus 18% respectively. In addition, industrywide foodservice sales have increased by 7.5% over the previous year, some of which is a direct result of the added demand from meal delivery services. For suppliers and service providers, this means an increased opportunity to offer restaurants any logistic and resource solutions they may need to meet that demand.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant industry is forever morphing into something new. There\u2019s a tight labor market with increasing labor costs and decreased margins for profit. This presents both challenges and opportunities, giving way to new services like 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party restaurant delivery, which fills the public\u2019s need for good food without having to wait in line or even leave the house.\u00a0 So that then poses a new question in the cultural schema, \u201cWhat\u2019s for dinner\u201d and \u201cWho delivers that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantdive.com\/news\/mcdonalds-expands-delivery-with-grubhub-partnership\/562383\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Restaurant Dive<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/secondmeasure.com\/datapoints\/food-delivery-services-grubhub-uber-eats-doordash-postmates\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Second Measure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CSGPOLLs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CSGPOLLs<\/a> &#8211; What is your preferred way to dine?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4cdWotn5IE\">https:\/\/t.co\/4cdWotn5IE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Chain Store Guide (@ChainStoreGuide) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChainStoreGuide\/status\/1172173817751449600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s no question; we are in the golden age of restaurant delivery.
