In the current age of convenience, food delivery from services such as Uber, DoorDash and Menulog have seen a sharp increase in popularity, particularly in a world where lockdowns are a reality. Prior to these services, food was delivered by a worker at the restaurant, and both the restaurant and the customer could be assured the food was secure and wouldn’t be tampered with. With these new delivery services, food is now delivered by a 3rd party delivery driver, instilling some doubt for both the restaurant and customer into whether the food could have been tampered with between receiving the food and delivery. A 2019 survey of delivery drivers revealed 28% of drivers had eaten food they were delivering. Our client, through personal experience as a caring delivery driver, has identified a need to solve this issue with a bag that not only secures food in a delivery bag, but provides peace of mind for both the restaurant and customer.
