The survey’s main results are as follows:
– 75% of respondents plans to continue offering delivery and takeaway services even after the pandemic is over
– 78% of businesses will continue focusing on online sales (including DIY meal kits)
– New technologies – such as ordering and payment apps mostly implemented during the pandemic to promote social distancing – are to stay for 95% of participants
