I have 2 small kids. From my perspective, it actually makes less sense to use an app for delivery because having kids often implies also having a car (in north america, anyways). So driving down to the restaurant for pickup costs considerably less than using the delivery option.
I'll still use the app though for the same reason Uber originally became popular: there's no need to call or talk to anyone, and there's no need to fumble with physical currency for payment; you just tap a few buttons, drive to the store, pick up your food and go.

- kaybe 7y agoIf they need the car to get the pizza the time window the delivery kids can be used might be short..

- calvinbhai 7y agoI agree with you about convenience of ordering. This was often the case when I was in the US. But in canada it's nice that all stores I frequent accept credit cards, and all of them work with apple pay, so no fumbling with cash. Probably I'm not like most app users are. If I know a few different types of restaurants in the area, and I know specific items I like there, I'll just order the same thing again and again until I move elsewhere. If I wanted a new place, new dish every time, probably Delivery apps would be a good way to discover
