The coronavirus pandemic has put our lives to a halt. Almost all businesses are bearing the brunt of the pandemic. However, the pandemic has made us rely on food ordering apps. <\/strong>It is becoming difficult for food ordering apps and restaurants to cope with the orders, and they have hired more workers and eliminated fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

FoodBoss, which compares Uber Eats, Postmates, Delivery.com, etc., in more than 50 cities see an increase in contactless delivery options because of the pandemic. The founder and CEO of FoodBoss, Michael DiBenedetto, said that the majority of consumers understand the situation; they know that in the pandemic, delivery estimates will vary. He further added that some restaurants are working with bare minimum employees to provide delivery and pick-up services, and we all need to be patient in these tough times.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These days customers want delivery agents to place the order on their doorsteps and go so that they don\u2019t have to get in touch with the delivery agents. Initially, there was a surge in pricing due to higher demand for food delivery. But after that, food delivery apps eliminated fees. In Canada and the USA, Uber Eats stopped charging any delivery fee from local restaurants. Companies are aware that people are in a difficult situation, and they are helping them instead of taking advantage of the situation. Restaurants, consumers, and apps are coming together to ensure food delivery is accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
