Online food delivery refers to a convenient means of ordering and delivering food via online platforms. These platforms can be mobile applications or web pages that offer access to food joints based on customer needs. These delivery platforms provide various payment options, such as prepaid cards, pay-on-delivery, net banking, food coupons, etc. The increase in food delivery services can be traced back to urbanization coupled with the increasing penetration of mobile applications. The hectic work schedules are also compelling Nigerians to resort to ready-to-eat food products. Another reason for the rise of online food delivery systems is that more women are now working therefore there’s no longer time to cook as usual. People are becoming increasingly interested in online food delivery because of the various food options; door-step delivery, discounts, secured payment gateways, etc. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 also reduced patronage of traditional food joints and increased that of online food delivery services to mitigate the risk of coronavirus infection.
