Deliveroo's orders grew 20% amidst COVID-19 outbreak

In 2019, orders on the platform surged 50% YoY.

Online food delivery service Deliveroo saw its orders in Singapore rise an average of 20% in 27 January to 16 February, according to a press release. This was partly attributed to the economic effects of the COVID-19 outbreak.

In 2019, orders on the platform surged 50% YoY, with most orders coming in between 7-9pm. However late night (11pm-1am) and breakfast (8-10 am) orders soared as high as 500% growth over the past twelve months.

About 300 new restaurants are added to the delivery platform offering dinner options every month, with about 30% or 100 of these offering breakfast options.

The fastest growing locations for ordering were the Central Business District (CBD), Orchard Road, Tanglin, Bukit Timah and Katong, at 50% on average.

The top choice in the west is Japanese sushi, whilst those in the east preferred wonton noodles the most. In the north, the top pick was bubble tea, with those over in central/south favoured chicken rice.
