Whether a restaurant worker, driver, owner, vendor or customer -- this day
shines light on everyone who continues to support the restaurant industry,
especially through the COVID-19 pandemic. To celebrate, Deliverect will be
hosting events in major cities around the world, featuring giveaways, special
menu items, music and more.
When relying so heavily on an online service, it is easy to forget those behind
the scenes who make it all possible. Deliverect is marking this day by
recognising everyone who works hard to make sure individuals all over the world
can enjoy a delicious meal, anywhere, any time.
During the pandemic, food delivery saw a 79% increase in online orders in the
first quarter of 2021, nearly doubling its forecasted growth rate globally.
This is a stat Deliverect saw come to life when the company helped to process
an average of more than 1 million orders per week in the last year, a 750%
increase from the year before.
"When Deliverect was founded in 2018, I knew food delivery would be a key part
of restaurants operations, and success," said Zhong Xu, co-founder and CEO of
Deliverect. "As a result of the pandemic, the food delivery industry went into
hypergrowth. With online food delivery services expected to reach $192.16
billion (GBP140b) in 2025 (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-online-food-delivery-services-market-report-2021-market-is-expected-to-reach-192-16-billion-in-2025--from-126-91-billion-in-2021---long-term-forecast-to-2030--301285677.html), it is safe to say that food delivery is here to stay.
Today, the team at Deliverect is thrilled to see the first ever International
Food Delivery Day come to life to celebrate everyone who works very hard to
ensure customers get to enjoy their meal deliveries."
