In 2018, over 15 thousand restaurants used various online platforms to deliver their food, generating 350 million euros in revenue. This was about ten percent of the entire value of the food delivery industry, which was estimated to be worth 3.2 billion euros. In 2019, the market share of digital food delivery in Italy increased already to 18 percent.
