                        As we are urged to maintain physical distancing and stay home during this
                  Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a surge in demand for food delivery services.

                        With the decline of business through dining in and with the availability of good
                  internet access and high smartphone ownership, many food outlets provide online
                  order and delivery. There are also third-party apps that allow consumers to view
                  menus, make orders and receive food delivered directly to their doorsteps.

                        We are spoilt for choice as we can order from a variety of menus through
                  a single app. The varieties available also allow us to try out new food every day.
                  Food delivery provides convenience for individuals who choose to maintain physical
                  distancing by not eating out or those with no time to shop or cook food.

                        As people start working from home amid the Covid-19 pandemic, busy workers
                  can order food without leaving their desks or interrupting their work. However, prices
                  of food from food delivery can be 10 to 30 per cent higher than those of food picked
                  up directly from the eateries.
                        Sometimes, consumers are forced to buy additional side dishes or purchase a
                  minimum amount for a delivery which may result in overconsumption or food wastage.
                  In addition, there is usually a delivery charge to be paid. The delivered food may also
                  generate more packaging waste which contributes negatively to the environment.
