TODAY'S ONSUMER: TRENDING TOWARD DELIVERY & TAKEOUT ellphones have allowed consumers to order a meal as easily as hailing a ride from anywhere, creating a must-have revenue opportunity. Especially in urban markets, people can get their food where they want it, when they want it. Busy lifestyles demand takeout dining. This makes the quality of takeout packaging important, so that the foods and beverages stay put, and also maintain temperature. Today s consumers, led by young adults, use restaurants differently. Online services, which provide a platform for ordering with or without a delivery option, tout their ability to expand a restaurant s reach and increase delivery sales as a result. Examples include Grubhub, Seamless and hownow. hownow, our recommended platform, increases customers takeout sales by an average of 20%. BENEFITS OF ONLINE ORDERING TE FUTURE IS NOW FOR TAKEOUT SAVE TIME AUTOMATION Employees no longer have to spend time on the phone, which takes them away from giving personal service to dine-in customers. Online ordering is automatic and leaves little room for human error. MARKETING ADD REVENUE By requiring an email address to order, you can build up a contact list for email marketing campaigns. Boosting takeout business adds incremental sales to an operation's daily revenue.

It can be safe to use small amounts of aluminum foil in a microwave oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal but are absorbed by food. No food completely covered by aluminum foil or in a covered metal pan should be put in a microwave oven because food wouldn't be available to absorb the microwaves. Operating the oven empty or when the food is completely wrapped in aluminum foil can cause damage to the oven and the food won't heat. owever, small pieces of aluminum foil can be used to "shield" areas of foods, such as poultry drumsticks and wings, to prevent overcooking. Some food packaged in foil containers can be safe to microwave. Read the package heating instructions to see if the food manufacturer has specific recommendations for microwaving the product. Because food in these containers will only heat from the top, it's best to microwave foods only -2" in depth so food near the bottom will be heated thoroughly before food on top dries and overcooks.
