The current global pandemic has made it impossible for people to lead normal lives, with most of us having to stay indoors until it is safe to go outside. This approach works to ensure that the viral disease doesn't spread so that it is much easier to control it. As a result, supermarkets and shopping delivery establishments have had to deal with an almost sudden increase in demand that has surpassed the norm. People are now preferring having their meals delivered as takeaway services making orders from within their residences.
The information from this article reveals what the majority of the worldwide population prefers when it comes to food and deliveries. Data disclosed by the google keyword planner shows that as the pandemic tightens its grip and restrictions being put in place, customers are now turning to online searches with words and phrases turning up as the most searched terms on the internet. Such sentences and words include "takeaway," 'takeout,' 'food delivery,' and 'delivery.' Between May and march, the volume of these keywords rose by almost 300 percent.
