As restaurant operators struggle to entice more people to eat out, they are increasingly turning to food delivery as a way to overcome stagnating traffic. 

Fuelled by the explosion of mobile ordering apps such as DoorDash and UberEats, food delivery sales have grown 20% over the last five years, while restaurant traffic has flatlined. That's according to a new study released by the NPD Group, a market research firm that monitored trends in food delivery between 2012 and 2017.
