Millions of people use takeout as a way to make their evenings and weekends ‘more exciting’ during the pandemic.

While we’ve stayed home due to pandemic restrictions and most restaurants face capacity limitations, we’re utilizing takeout more and more. One in ten people do takeout two or more times a week in a recent survey. More than half say it gives them something to look forward to. Three in ten order on the weekends so it feels more special than the rest of the week.

Chinese food was the most popular takeout, followed by Indian and pizza. More than a third admitted to being ‘takeout-loyal,’ ordering from the same restaurant time after time.
