What is the future of restaurant delivery?

Melissa Wilson of Technomic discusses the opportunities and challenges on this week's episode of "A Deeper Dive."

The market for restaurant delivery continues to change faster than many can keep up.

In this week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast "A Deeper Dive," Technomic Principal Melissa Wilson discusses these changes, and what may be in store for operators as the business continues to evolve.

Most restaurant chains have a delivery deal in place now. And many have figured out how to make that business profitable. Yet there remain questions about how big that service will get, and how much customers really are willing to pay to have their restaurant food delivered.

There are also questions about the third-party delivery providers themselves.

Wilson tackles many of these topics in this week’s episode. Please have a listen.
