Delivery consolidation puts restaurants in a tight spot

The once-crowded space has shrunk to three major providers that will feel pressure to keep growing post-pandemic.

The third-party delivery company could raise more than $3 billion in its upcoming initial public offering.

Seth Priebatsch says the pandemic has permanently elevated demand, even if delivery is expected to moderate as things return to normal.

The third-party delivery company tracked what customers ate as they spent most of the year cooped up at home.

The sandwich chain, once critical of third-party delivery, will bring the service to 2,400 locations.

The chain is working with Rebel Foods and Sierra Nevada Restaurants to open 400 locations in the country, including 250 inside digital-only kitchens.

Other technology developments include a new IPO entrant and news on Corner Bakery and DoorDash.

The DoorDash IPO, Grubhub sale and Uber Eats deal have fundamentally changed the market, and maybe the restaurant industry, says RB’s The Bottom Line.

The industry has come a long way technologically this year. Here’s a look at where things stand and how they might continue to develop.
