Save the date: 8 Sept - International Food Delivery Day

I would like to invite everyone to mark their calendar on 8 September, as Deliverect will take part in the inaugural International Food Delivery Day.

This last year and a half have been crazy times for each and everyone as we continue to face the challenges caused by COVID-19 all over the world. Most of us couldn’t go to our favorite restaurants where we gather around the table to meet with friends and family. However, we were fortunate that we could have our favorite meals brought to our doorstep through delivery. While we were safe and protected at home, kitchen staff prepared and delivered orders, finding new and sometimes fun ways to keep serving great food.

Even before the pandemic, delivery was on the rise and now food delivery is a key part of restaurant operations, whether restaurants have their online delivery system or deal with third-party delivery channels. With online food delivery services expected to reach $192.16 billion in 2025, it is safe to say that food delivery is here to stay. We’ve seen the growth in delivery through virtual kitchen concepts, grocery stores providing delivery through third parties, and FMCG companies incorporating delivery.

At the time that Deliverect was founded in 2018, I knew food delivery was becoming an important revenue stream for the hospitality industry where restaurants have to add online food services to their customer service. Due to the pandemic and restrictions, the food delivery industry went into hypergrowth. We believe in making delivery easier for restaurant owners, staff, and customers. This way they can focus on what they love: delivering great food to their customers.

Let’s celebrate together!

For this reason, we’re pleased to declare 8 September International Food Delivery Day, to recognize restaurateurs, wait staff, kitchen chefs, delivery drivers, and the extended ecosystem of partners. Deliverect will mark this day by recognizing everyone who works hard to make sure we can all enjoy a delicious meal anywhere. 

So whether you are a restaurant owner or an online delivery channel, it is your time to shine and celebrate your effort & your team’s success. Most importantly, it’s a chance to show appreciation to every single person who contributed to this success. 

We have prepared many surprises and will be giving away prizes up to €100,000 through our exciting “Hidden Gems” competition. Stay tuned to our upcoming announcements on social media platforms, and keep an eye on our website to know more about the competition and future events.
