DUBLIN, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "How Mobile Order and Pay Provides A Lifeline for Restaurants and Retailers during Covid-19" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The year of COVID-19 has crushed the restaurant and retailing verticals, resulting in thousands of store closings and the loss of millions of jobs.

But digital ordering, especially mobile-order-and-pay apps whose orders are typically fulfilled via take-out or delivery, and do not rely on inside dining, have shown initial resilience and subsequent growth. U.S. consumers are pivoting to mobile devices from landline PCs for online shopping, and data reveals that mobile order app activity has doubled from 2018 to 2020.

Restaurants and retailers can significantly benefit from this increased consumer adoption of mobile ordering. A new research report, How Mobile Order and Pay Provides a Lifeline for Restaurants and Retailers during Covid-19, sizes up and assesses a major segment of the U.S. mobile- order-and-pay market.

"Mobile-order-and-pay apps have found a sweet spot in the U.S. Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) segment. But other restaurants and retailers can emulate the benefits and success of this buying method that's become increasingly popular with consumers looking for convenience and immediacy.
