When it comes to delivery, the two big options always seemed to be either pizza or Chinese food. Lately, a few more have been added to the list, with Jimmy Johns delivering deli sandwiches and Burger King even experimenting with the concept of offering delivery services.
As I do enjoy my food, especially when it's brought right to me, I thought that I would throw out some suggestions for food chains that should add delivery services as an option for customers.
1. Subway
As mentioned before, Jimmy John's changed the sandwich game up by bringing the sandwiches right to you. If Subway aims to compete in the long term, they should also offer delivery services so that fans of their tasty sandwiches can enjoy the benefit of not having to go get it.
2. Taco Bell
If you're jonesing for fast food, but don't want a burger, there's Taco Bell. If they delivered, it would help them keep up should fast food delivery become a thing. It would also broaden customers' options in terms of food choices as opposed to just having another burger place offering delivery.
3. McDonald's and Wendy's
Burger King is experimenting with delivery, so it stands to reason that its competitors, should do the same. Not only does this ensure that Burger King keeps its game up in terms of delivery times and food quality, but it gives the customers options in case they are craving a burger or sandwich from one of the other chains.
4. Applebee's and Other Bar and Grille Style Restaurants
A lot of these places offer online ordering or curbside service. Really, delivery is the next step. As chains like this aren't quite as prolific as fast food chains, the availability might be limited, but for people who are only within a few miles of a chain restaurant such as this, such a service would act as a boon.
5. Dunkin Donuts/Donut Chains
People like donuts, whether it's from Dunkin' Donuts, Tim Hortons, or Krispy Kreme, they always make for a nice tasty treat. It would be even better if you could have donuts brought right to you.
Now, much like with Pizza Hut's $10 minimum for delivery, I assume that, were this service to be offered, that you would need to buy at least a dozen donuts. It wouldn't make much sense for a chain to go out of their way to deliver one or two donuts, but if you're having a group get together and you want to provide something to snack on, having donut shops deliver could come in handy.
Final Thoughts
If one thing is clear, it is that people like food. Even better than that is food that is brought right to your door. It's become the backbone for several food chains and its a wonder why more places don't try it.
Not only would this provide more jobs, but it would give consumers greater options when it comes to in-house dining. This would generate more revenue as people who may not feel like going out will utilize your services.
It's one of those circumstances where everybody wins, and how often does that happen?
