Food delivery services in Germany - statistics & facts
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on food delivery services in Germany. Germany’s several lockdowns since the pandemic was declared in March 2020 also included restaurant closures. Consequently, in order to survive, many establishments were forced to turn to either taking to-go orders right on site or deliveries, which were both allowed. Delivery services, whether working with a restaurant or available in-house, had to be evaluated in correspondence with social distancing and hygiene rules to make deliveries possible. In 2020, Germans spent almost 4 billion euros on delivery services.
