Getting delivery or takeout of Pizza and Chinese food has been hugely popular for many decades, but not other foods, why? The answer is that those are the only foods that 'travel well'. Pizza and Chinese food do not degrade in quality when they cool off and they both reheat very well in a microwave or toaster oven. Everything else goes to hell if you don't eat it hot on the spot. Fries, Burgers, all sandwiches all breakfast foods etc. can never again be made 'good as new' once they cool off.
The only reason this massive expansion of food delivery is even being tried is that the US economy is so terribly unstable for the low wage worker. So many people with no job or retirement security are willing to work temp jobs in this '3rd world gig economy', now, but it can't last. We will elect leaders who will give us financial security and people will dump these 'gig jobs'.
And grocery delivery? Who wants someone else picking their produce? That's a joke. This whole new industry will go the way of the 1980's Sensory Deprivation Tank fad.
