Automation is likely to save U.S. fast-food restaurants more than $12 billion in annual wages, the group said.
Moreover, the growing prominence of hassle-free online delivery, various discount offers, convenient payment options, etc., is driving the online food delivery market in the United States. IMARC Group expects the market to reach $46.50 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 10% during 2023-2028.
