“Household food order spending varied by the type of families that placed food orders, however. Married couples with children spent more on food orders than any other type of household in 2020, having placed an average of 96 QSR orders and 86 sit-down restaurant orders using a variety of digital channels and spending an annual total of $7,792 online. Married couples without children spent less on online food orders in the last year than any other household type, spending just $2,204. Single consumers spent an average of $3,122 on online food orders in the year since shutdowns began, by comparison.” – Delivering on Restaurant Rewards.
