For Quick Service and Fast Casual restaurants looking to compete in today’s market, having a delivery option is a must. This is not surprising, considering we live in a time when everything seems available for delivery, and incredibly fast shipping speeds are the norm. Delivery offers customers the convenience they have now come to expect, and restaurants a way to bring in orders and grow sales through a new channel, without cannibalizing existing business.

Some delivery programs even allow brands to keep customer data, enabling retention marketing and building loyalty long after their initial order, for this already sticky service. But what specific aspects of delivery do customers most care about, and how can brands use it to grow sales?
