• How Much Do You Really Spend?
– The most ordered food in America is chicken
wings. But when it comes to any other food it
varies depending on which state you live in.
– In America alone, there are over 30,000
restaurants and over 4 million dinners.
According to a study in November 2016, 20% of
Americans order their food online at least once a
week. An average person will spend anywhere
between $16 to $30 on a single order. That adds
up to the entire population spending $281.9
billion alone on online ordering. Ordering food
online in the past few years has been growing at
an incredible 300% faster than dining in alone.
Millennials spend about 44% or $2,921 annually.
Many people will blame the Millennials for the
rise in this percentage, but only a few years ago
the baby boomers were spending 40% on their
online food ordering. Which equals out to $2,629
annually. In my own opinion, it is the easy
access, and convenience of ordering food online
that is helping the numbers grow every year.
