What is theDelivery.World?
A brand new platform, and podcast, providing answers to the most frequently asked questions about restaurant delivery.
This website is set to explore the answers to questions that are constantly, and insistently, being raised about the viability of the restaurant delivery model. Concerns range from profitability (when could it arrive?) to worries over employment rights and rider safety, and more.
And yet demand is still on the rise around the world.
With these various pressures, what is the future of restaurant delivery as it enters a new phase in which a, still large, number of specialists is being winnowed by mergers and acquisitions?
And what are the prospects for the veritable army of businesses involved in stitching together the services required by marketplace aggregators, delivery companies, gig riders, consumers, foodservice companies, restaurants, landlords, dark kitchen operators, and more?
On this website you will find a growing range of ways to answer questions such as these. Right now, there is a fortnightly newsletter – and soon there will be downloadable reports and white papers, and a growing range of interactive discussions, forums, webinars and more.
