• Not Just for Restaurants.
– Another way that people have been ordering
food online is by ordering and buying their
home groceries from the store and picking
them up ready to go. Some stores will even
deliver the groceries to the house which is
used by the elderly and disabled. This is
because they have a harder time shopping on
their own and this gives them some
independence especially if they are forced to
live on their own. In 2017 31% of Americans
order their food online. Sales alone last year
were $14.2 billion all together that year. A
study showed that by the year 2021 the
annual sales might reach $30 billion and by
the year 2025 it could even reach $100 billion!
Today about a quarter of Americans buys
their groceries online. This could raise up to
60% in the next ten years. Last year the
online food ordering for groceries was
around 20.5 billion.
