According to a survey conducted in South Korea in early 2022, around 46 percent of respondents in their thirties stated that they felt the longest acceptable wait time for food delivery ordered via an app was 60 to 70 minutes. Respondents between 18 and 49 years were generally more accepting of longer delivery times than those aged 50 years and older. While a large share of younger age groups felt wait times up to 70 minutes were acceptable, the largest share of older age groups felt the upper limit was 40 minutes.
