We&#8217;re taking a look at the changes the internet is having on the food we eat.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As a serious and devout foodie, watching the incredible options opened up by new technology has been an absolute delight. The ease with which we&#8217;re able to use apps and websites to discover and acquire great food is one of the best parts about our flourishing digital economy. However, many consumers may still be unaware of the vast options at their fingertips so I&#8217;d like to go through some of the more interesting services and offerings that have popped up, with a couple of small caveats.<\/p>\n<p>This writeup is written from the perspective of someone who lives in a large city (Toronto). While there are certainly local or regional alternatives, you might have to do some digging to find one that operates in your city and town. Likewise, some of these companies work best at scale, and won&#8217;t have comparable offerings in small towns.<\/p>\n<h2>Grocery Delivery<\/h2>\n<p>This is the most straightforward application of technology: take the whole grocery shopping experience out of the equation and provide delivery right to your doorstep. These services have been around for a while and are pretty straightforward. You go to their site, order your food and it gets delivered for a fee. While the convenience factor is certainly here, quality and service varies wildly, as does price. The quality of the website can also vary, with some sites having a great UX and app experience, while others fall a little flat&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes paying a $1 surcharge on a can of tomato sauce just isn&#8217;t worth it. For people with mobility issues or an utter lack of time (and some disposable income) these services can be extremely helpful.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9399\" src=\"\/wpe-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/FireShot-Screen-Capture-302-Grocery-Gateway-www_grocerygateway_com_Products_FreshMarket-e1464720393136-1024x491.png\" alt=\"FireShot Screen Capture #302 - 'Grocery Gateway' - www_grocerygateway_com_Products_Fresh+Market\" width=\"860\" height=\"412\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some examples from Canada and the US include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grocerygateway.com\/\">Grocery Gateway<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/grocerymarket.ca\/\">Grocery Market<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbery.com\/\">Urbery<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"height: 260px;\" border=\"2\" width=\"814\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No more lineups at the cash<\/td>\n<td>Can get expensive between increased food costs + delivery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No more (or reduced) trips to the grocery store<\/td>\n<td>Lack of selection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Can be done any time you have internet access<\/td>\n<td>Quality can suffer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 430px;\">No more spending time looking for those Udon rice noodles your wife needs to make dinner tonight (hint: They&#8217;re in the health food section, even though they were in the asian foods section last week)<\/td>\n<td>Might still need to pop down to the store to get that 1 missing ingredient<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Meal Delivery<\/h2>\n<p>For those who scoff at getting all their groceries delivered and are looking to take things to the next level, the latest craze of meal delivery will be right up their alley. This service allows users to pick and choose from a number of pre-planned meals (typically designed by high end chefs) and have the raw ingredients delivered once or twice a week. These meals come with all the fixings &#8211; vegetables, meats, sauces and toppings &#8211; everything you need to create the meal. The packages also include step by step recipe cards to walk you through cooking it.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these companies have fairly sophisticated ordering and email marketing systems in place &#8211; reminding users to choose their meals every week, providing content around their selections and have a robust social media presence. Some more famous companies have celebrities who tweet or Instagram their food, with discounts available for those that get in on the action. While most engage in paid media, they tend to work best through word of mouth and self-referral systems as users tend to try and convert others for a free meal.<\/p>\n<p>In total transparency, my wife and I began using one of these services several months ago after our co-workers raved about it, and given our extremely hectic schedules it was the perfect way to ensure we were sitting down to a home cooked meal at least 3 times a week &#8211; even if that means the meal was planned and groceries bought by someone else.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9398\" src=\"\/wpe-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/chefs-plate.jpg\" alt=\"chefs plate\" width=\"486\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some examples from Canada and the US include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueapron.com\">Blue Apron<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plated.com\/\">Plated<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chefsplate.com\/\">Chef&#8217;s Plate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"height: 284px;\" border=\"2\" width=\"815\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Many of the above Pros from grocery deliver (Lineups, grocery store trips, etc.)<\/td>\n<td>More expensive than buying groceries<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Some great meal selection<\/td>\n<td>Dependent on delivery schedules<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fun meals you wouldn&#8217;t normally make<\/td>\n<td>Meal quality and quality of meat and veggies can be a bit of an unknown<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 430px;\">Still gets you cooking in the kitchen<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 430px;\">Short meal time with minimal prep<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 430px;\">Less expensive than eating out or ordering in<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<section data-role=\"forward-email-subscription-container\" class=\"full-width w-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center bg-c7f2b3\">\n    \n    <div class=\"max-w-1400 w-100 form\">\n        <div class=\"text-content-container\">\n            <h2>\n                Stay Forward            <\/h2>\n            <p class=\"subtitle\">\n                Get exclusive insights into digital <br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\">media's top-trending topics delivered<br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\"> directly to your inbox.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div data-role=\"form-group\">\n            <div class=\"d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n                <form data-forward-email-form class='custom-hubspot-form' id='hubspot_form_69d15ffc78331'>\n    <div class='d-flex input'>\n        <input type='email' class='form-control me-2 input' placeholder='Email address' aria-label='Email' name='email' required>\n        <button type='submit' class='btn_primary-filled_white'>Submit\n<\/button>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class='hubspot-status'><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<script>\njQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n    var form = $('#hubspot_form_69d15ffc78331');\n    form.on('submit', function(event) {\n        event.preventDefault();\n\n        \/\/ Get email input value\n        var emailInput = form.find('input[name=\"email\"]');\n        var email = emailInput.val().trim();\n\n        \/\/ Required HubSpot fields\n        var portalId = '5408011';\n        var formId = '0c9a9cec-eb1c-44ac-920f-687ce0230830';\n\n        \/\/ Prepare the data payload\n        var data = {\n            fields: [\n                {\n                    name: 'email',\n                    value: email\n                }\n            ],\n            context: {\n                pageUri: window.location.href,\n                pageName: document.title\n            },\n            submittedAt: new Date().getTime()\n        };\n\n        \/\/ Get the status element for this form\n        var statusElement = form.siblings('.forward-email-status-container');\n\n        \/\/ Send the data to HubSpot\n        fetch('https:\/\/api.hsforms.com\/submissions\/v3\/integration\/submit\/5408011\/0c9a9cec-eb1c-44ac-920f-687ce0230830', {\n            method: 'POST',\n            headers: {\n                'Content-Type': 'application\/json'\n            },\n            body: JSON.stringify(data)\n        })\n        .then(response => {\n            if (response.ok) {\n                if(statusElement) {\n                    statusElement.text('Thanks for Subscribing!');\n                    statusElement.css('color', 'green');\n                }\n\n                var userInfo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('userInfo'));\n                if (userInfo) {\n                    userInfo.event = 'Form_submit';\n                    userInfo.email = email;\n                    userInfo.form_name = 'Newsletter';\n                    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\n                    window.dataLayer.push(userInfo);\n                }\n\n                emailInput.val('');

No pesky personal interaction required! Except for that whole &#8216;talking to the delivery guy&#8217; part, but don&#8217;t worry, soon we&#8217;ll have <a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/4185117\/amazon-prime-air-drone-delivery\/\">drones doing the delivery right to your doorstep<\/a>. No human interaction required!<\/p>\n<p>While many restaurants have online ordering as part of their website &#8211; some of the larger chains have dedicated apps &#8211; there is an entire network of family owned or small restaurants that can&#8217;t justify the costs of setting up an online system. Enter the latest craze in easy food delivery: services that provide online ordering and delivery to your door. With a uniform menu system (all restaurants look the same) and a mix of delivery systems (some use the same driver as the restaurant, some have their own drivers, some have bicycle couriers), these systems have reached out and do all the connective work to ensure that the restaurants have the latest hours, menu items and that the restaurant can get the order properly from the website.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9402\" src=\"\/wpe-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/ubereats-1024x592.jpg\" alt=\"ubereats\" width=\"860\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some examples from Canada and the US include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ubereats.com\/\">Ubereats<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seamless.com\/\">Seamless<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grubhub.com\/\">Grubhub<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodora.ca\/\">Foodora<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.just-eat.ca\/\">Justeat<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"height: 245px;\" border=\"2\" width=\"805\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Has really opened up the variety of food you can access<\/td>\n<td>Minor delivery fee but about the same as any other delivery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Easy to use and uniform menu system means you&#8217;re not navigating a maze of some weird 3rd party developer&#8217;s site<\/td>\n<td>Occasional disconnect between online menu\/ordering system and restaurant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>You can pay when you order so no paying at the door (tip can be included)<\/td>\n<td>Food can theoretically take longer as a driver has to pick up food from a number of restaurants<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 430px;\">Up to date tracking of meal delivery<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>It hasn&#8217;t taken long for technology to add whole new dimensions to something as simple as food &#8211; and the landscape is continually changing.
