最好的取出包装进行第三方交付

The use of third-party delivery services like UberEats, DoorDash, and GrubHub are at an all time high.

While third party delivery services were gaining popularity before the Coronavirus Pandemic, the outbreak created increased demand and sped up adoption.

鉴于人们喜欢便利，大流行前第三方交付服务迅速增长。有什么比从沙发上订购自己喜欢的饭菜更容易了，然后将其直接送到您家门口？

然后，当大流行袭击时，许多地区的餐馆和其他餐饮服务业务被迫关闭室内用餐，要求企业如果选择保持开放，则要求企业依靠外卖。

当您将流行前的受欢迎程度与消费者的兴趣增加并依靠Covid-19引起的外卖时，交付服务在某种程度上是对餐饮服务运营的生命线 - 在可预见的将来，它们可能仍然很重要。

Even with the release of the COVID-19 vaccines, we can anticipate a slow return to “normalcy” as consumers continue to prioritize their safety.

鉴于此，在提供外卖时，适当地包装您的餐点以送货对客人满意和安全至关重要，尤其是在使用第三方服务时。

如前所述，很高兴能使您最喜欢的一餐落在您家门口，但是如果它到达凌乱，冷甚至湿润 - 那么整个体验都是不利的，可能导致未来的销售失去。
