Deliverect 2022 Recap: A Year to Share and Be Proud Of

We analyzed over 135 million orders worldwide and found fun stats to make us proud, laugh, and wonder about the future. Here’s what an incredible year of achievements looks like for us at Deliverect and the food service industry. 

Rewind for a bit: Deliverect 2022 recap

Early this year, we received $150 Million and a 1.4B valuation in Series D Funding, which granted us Unicorn status. Beyond the purely financial aspect, this proves the value of our mission! And as our CEO and Co-founder, Zhong Xu said

“This funding will advance our efforts to serve everyone in the hospitality community through our App Store and beyond. We’re thrilled for Deliverect’s next phase as the leader in online order automation, especially as so many people prefer the convenience of ready-to-eat food delivery today.”

So we advanced forward and launched Deliverect Marketplace, a first-of-its-kind online ecosystem of food industry partners. Deliverect Marketplace connects you and your restaurant or dark kitchen with stock management, kiosk, POS, pay & order, and now virtual brands to help you streamline costs and efficiencies, boost sales, and more.

Only three years after being born, we’ve reached 200 Million orders and 32,000+ clients around the globe. How long will it take us to get 500 million orders and 50,000 clients? We don’t know, but we’ll face 2023 with ambitious goals to keep us awake and focused.

However, it’s not only about us. We also helped our clients reach new milestones. Let’s take a look.

The city with the most delivery orders: London. 

Surprised? We neither. 

London has embraced delivery as an everyday commodity with a population of over 8.2 million people, and high-paced dynamic food delivery is a necessity for Londoners —and we get them.

2022 Most ordered food item? 

It was a close battle. Between pizza, sushi, and even bowls, burgers have risen as customers' preferred food. Maybe it has to do with their ' long history with delivery or that each bite packs a flavor punch, but they’re always in the top 3, and who can blame them? 

The day with the most orders: November 26, 2022

Do you remember what you were doing on this day? Maybe not. Even we have a hard time remembering what we ate for breakfast this morning. There’s no way of knowing for sure, but chances are you might have been treating yourself to takeout on November 26th!

The time of the day with the most number of orders: 7:00 pm - 7:20 pm

Imagine being in a London burger joint on the 26th of November between 7 and 7:20 P. M. We were there, and we can tell you that every Deliverect client nailed their online orders! Now we’re dreaming of having days like that every week.

The number of km covered by delivery drivers: 254 000 000 km. 

Ok, sit back for this one: that’s like going to the moon and back 330 times! This makes sense as our clients are known for delivering out-of-this-world food experiences.

Our recent study proves that food delivery is living its golden years as people are saying yes to treating themselves to food-to-go and have grown to know and love the convenience of delivery.

 Now that we know our favorite song, along with other excellent findings, we can tell, for sure, that our year is ending on the happiest of notes! With such momentum, we anticipate that our 2023 soundtrack will sound even better for our industry.
