As a foreigner, it seems to me that the problem in the US is that too many people live alone.
My favorite pizza shop in northern Germany has a minimum order of $22 and charges $4 in delivery fees.
For one person alone, that wouldn't work. So you order together as a family. Or together with your flatmates in university.
- binxbolling 6y agoIn Germany, 41.8% of households have just one person. In the USA, 28.4% of households have just one person.
- fxtentacle 6y agoI'd wager they count in different ways. Or I'm living in a total bubble. None of my friends is living alone. All of them are either sharing a house with others or living together with their girlfriend/wife. Edit: it might be that your statistic is dominated by houses being owned by old people
- fma 6y agoMaybe it's just me, but I've never ordered a pizza alone, even when I did live alone. I only ordered pizza when friends or family came over. If it's just me eating I'd go get a burger or some other single serving fast food.
- aglionby 6y agoDominos in the UK has similar incentives but put in place less rigidly - any medium/large pizza will run you £18-£20, but there are loads of 40%-50% discount above £x (x >= 35) or 2-4-1 deals. This makes it more difficult to justify a solo order (unless you get 2 pizzas, which, fair enough) and incentivises ordering with friends or not at all.
