Hi, I live in Spain in an area of very high density with many restaurants within 1 mile. I have no idea about the United States. Food delivery here is popular with a certain demographics ie the people too lazy to walk or the young people who party and are drunk or stoned and just want quick fatty food. Unfortunately here, the options are very fast food based and not offering the culinary experience that I look for. I do get a fast food sometimes but without the premium price of food delivery. I see that it is popular because when I walk around I see a lot of delivery workers picking up orders. I know that I am in the 5% minority of people who have many pleasant food places at a walking distance, and my experience in other countries was much more favoring food delivery, like in the dominican republic or semi urban France.
I am old school and would call or text my favorite places to prepare me something and take a pleasant 10 min walk to pick it up, but this is off topic!
My guess is that the USA is much less quality food based than latin europe, being anglo saxons, and much more favoring food delivery due to the large suburbs that are boring to drive across
Thank you for the update on JD.com, a question comes to my mind : Is how is the food delivery business working out in the United States ?
-or-
What is the history of food delivery compared to Shopping online and picking up at the physical store?
From my own viewpoint BJs.com has that feature and appears to be working well, when I shop by walking around the store I see there employees filling out orders for customers to pick up.
