Meituan-Dianping report: Only 4% of dining revenue comes from delivery

China’s largest restaurant food delivery platform has released a report on the country’s dining delivery trends, providing not only information on the technology and stats behind the platform but crucial data-led insight into changing Chinese dining habits and the catering industry as a whole.

Meituan-Dianping has revealed that it now processes 13 million orders a day, but despite the ubiquitous delivery bikes plying the streets of China’s cities large and small, only 4% of restaurant food is delivered.

Meituan-Dianping offers apps that let users order food to their homes or desk with a few simple taps and pay through their phones. The company has 6.5 million restaurants in its database and 260 million active users; it has recently broken the 13 million orders a day mark, coming to RMB 555 million daily in gross merchandise value.
