Food delivery - the most delicious
Restaurant food delivery market (% of total number of restaurants)In 2013, the share of purchasing and ordering ready-made food increased compared to the recently popular purchase of various semi-finished products in supermarkets and culinary stores.
In addition, ordering food has become more accessible and easier. You can order online and pay by card or cash.
Let's now look at the general trends in the development of food delivery. The entire market is estimated at about one and a half billion dollars a year, of which 900 million is in Moscow.
In megacities, about 30% of restaurants (and even more in Moscow and St. Petersburg) have their own delivery service. Some of these companies deliver food around Moscow around the clock, which is convenient in a huge city where life is in full swing.
Who orders food and where?

As RBC research shows, every second resident of cities with over a million people orders food delivered at least once a month. Residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg - on average 2.5 times a month. Moreover, Muscovites order food for work much more often than residents of other regions. In Moscow, more than 45% of orders are delivered to offices.
Men and women from both capitals order food for work with approximately the same frequency, while in other regions women order food more often. Men order food at home a little more often.
74.7% of residents of large Russian cities order via the Internet. Last year, the growth of this market segment was more than 20%. The frequency of ordering pizza by phone fell by 12%.
The majority of those ordering food delivery are people aged 18 to 34 years.
Why do people order ready-made food at home?
More than half of Russians consider ordering ready-made food at home as an opportunity to treat themselves to their favorite dishes without leaving home (55.9%), and every second respondent considers this service a good way to save time and effort (48%).
Less popular views include the attitude towards ordering ready-made meals at home as an opportunity to try cuisines of different nations (24.7%) or to quickly prepare for receiving guests (22.1%). 10.4% of respondents see this as an opportunity to please their spouse, and 3.9% consider it part of their daily life.

Interestingly, all over the world the winner's laurels are shared with pizza by Chinese boxed food, which is practically the only “healthy” fast food, thanks to the use of a large number of vegetables, meat and various seasonings in its recipes.
What is the food delivered in?
Previously, dishes were delivered as needed - in metal boxes, paper, or even in napkins. Now delivery services have a wide variety of packaging at their disposal - corrugated cardboard pizza boxes, special noodle boxes, plastic containers, thermal bags that retain the heat and aroma of dishes
Packaging is divided into individual, group and transport. Food delivery packaging is individual transport packaging.
The most common packaging is all kinds of cardboard boxes. Cardboard is used due to its availability, environmental friendliness and decorative design capabilities using high-volume and short-run printing. In addition, cardboard for different products differs in its parameters.
Pizza and Pie Boxes
Boxes for pizza and pies are made from multi-layer (usually three-layer) laminated corrugated cardboard or micro-corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is used for its strength and thermal insulation properties. Laminating is done to improve the appearance and improve the quality of printing on the box. The courier must hold out a box of hot pizza or Ossetian pie with one hand, and the box must not wrinkle or even open slightly. A mandatory attribute of boxes for delivery of pizza and pies is the presence of holes in the boxes for air access to avoid excess moisture accumulation. The corners of the boxes can be either straight or beveled. A distinctive feature of some pizza boxes is the perforation of the box lid, which allows you to conveniently and quickly divide the pizza into portions.
Ossetian pies are packaged very hot, straight from the oven. Therefore, a feature of boxes for delivering Ossetian pies is the use of the densest three-layer corrugated cardboard (for example, T-24), which retains strength and other properties even at very high temperatures and humidity.
Boxes for delivery of noodles and other fast food
Boxes for delivery of noodles and other fast food are made from various types of boxboard. To do this, choose grease-resistant and heat-resistant brands. Typically, such packaging is colorfully designed in the restaurant’s signature colors.
Boxes for delivery of noodles and Chinese cuisine in general are distinguished by their airtight design and specially taped seams. This is necessary in order to prevent hot food and sauces from leaking out. Often these boxes can be reheated in the microwave.
Polymer packaging for food delivery
The second packaging option is various polymer packaging and containers. The advantages of such packaging are its low price, varied appearance and shape. Therefore, it is easy to choose the appropriate option for each type of product and serving size. Such packaging can be made from polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, foamed polystyrene and other materials. Such containers are produced using the methods of pneumatic and thermoforming, pressing, injection molding and blowing.
Packaging for the delivery of soup and other liquid dishes and dishes with a significant amount of sauce must be sealed to prevent the product from spilling. Also, during transportation, the lid must be tightly closed, so special locking elements are most often used, and the lid is removed only after they are removed.
