Introduction
The Covid-19 pandemic is primarily a global health crisis, but also has vast
economic and social impact. It has also brought challenges to businesses as they need to
cope with the struggles caused by the virus. According to Menon (2020), in this time of
challenges for business owners, one must be able to survive and learn to adapt. According
to a recent Raydiant (2020) study, without investing in delivery services, around 40% of
food businesses would be unable to keep their businesses open during the covid-19
pandemic. Even before the COVID-19, the on-demand economy driven by Uber, Netflix,
and Amazon had already begun to influence the restaurant industry. Convenience was
desired in all aspects of consumers' lives, including food. Restaurants are now looking to
food delivery services not only to sustain their business during a pandemic, but also to
strategize and join the bandwagon. Even large corporations like McDonald's are adapting
to the new normal, as such small business owners must as well (Norris et al., 2021). The
one-click order placement process from your mobile phone using the on-demand delivery
service app online has made a significant impact on people all over the world.

According to the Business of Apps website survey, the revenue growth of this
food delivery business increased from 8.7 billion USD to 26.5 billion USD between 2015
and 2020. It is also expected to grow to 42 billion USD by 2025. It forecasts 61.53
percent revenue growth over the next five years (Curry, 2022). Since it has been
demonstrated that the demand for food delivery and the entire online ordering system has
increased significantly, businesses must consider the wider context when deciding to

Theoretical Framework
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a theory that describes how users come
to accept and use technology, with two primary factors influencing individual intentions
to use new technology: perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989).
Consumers who do not want to go outside but also do not want to prepare meals at home
will be most likely to adapt technology because it is easier and convenient to them. Take
another example, a working woman who needs to finish her deadlines will also most
likely use technology to deliver some meals at her doorsteps. Cabuyao Menus is a new
online platform for customers of the Cabuyao area's local food industry. Limited face-to-

arrive at using food delivery services. Investing in a third-party partner is where food
business owners will find other businesses that can provide online food delivery or
ordering service. Because of the perceived usefulness and ease of use of technology, the
three variables will now be the restaurant (food business owner), the food delivery
service provider (Cabuyao Menus), and the consumer. Consumer feedback and comments
received via Food Delivery Service will be forwarded to the food business owner, who
world where everyone is in a fast-paced environment, everyone must adapt to the changes
that are being brought by man. Many businesses have been forced to close because they
deny utilizing modern business operations and still use the traditional ones. Technology
has become critical in taking competitive advantage may it be a local or global market. In
consequence, businesses must not just look at their strengths but also at their weaknesses.
Investing in food delivery service providers entails advertisement fees, annual partnership
fees, commission fees, and any other cash disbursement that is important in cash
management and entire business operation. Hence, this study will further analyze the
lived experiences of Cabuyao food business owners that invest in a food delivery. To

Foodpanda, where order commission is around 25–30% per order. Based on this
statement, commission rates and other additional fees towards restaurants charged by
apps slowly killed their profitability. If this keeps happening, how the restaurants would
earn enough profit to survive, the only option for the restaurants would be to increase
their prices, which may affect their customers, or develop their delivery systems, which
will incur more expense to the companies. That is why many restaurants have stopped
collaborating with the apps and are using third-party delivery systems to cut costs and
make better profits. The Online Food Delivery charges a commission fee to their
partnered Food Business to gain profit. However, high commission rates badly affect the
Business's profit. For a business to earn a profit, they need to raise its prices. In return,
customers buy fewer products, and again the company will lose sales or profit.
According to Snaiderman (2022), from his article titled “Should I Use a Third-
Party Delivery Service or Create My Own?”, using a third-party delivery service is great
for start-up businesses. It already has a built system and business owners may not worry
about the cost of having its own delivery system. These apps contain excellent marketing
tools as they allow the business to reach customers that might not have reached otherwise.

Deciding to work with a third-party delivery vendor will typically take a percentage of
each order the business makes. Uber Eats, for example, charges a fee of approximately
30% of every check brought to the restaurant via Uber Eats. For restaurants with razor-
thin margins, this can be an unsustainable cost. If a business owner decides to use a third-
party delivery service, it is necessary to check which services are operating in your area,
what percentage of each check the service absorbs, and whether diners in your region are

As food business establishments are filling up again and demand increases, food
delivery services do not seem to disappear anytime soon, although the government

this persistent change in customer behavior toward variety, versatility, and convenience
where food businesses might benefit from addressing some of the underlying issues.
According to Li, Mirosa, Bremer (2020), During the global COVID-19 outbreak,
online food delivery benefits were evident. It improved consumer access to prepared
meals while allowing food providers to remain open. However, there have been reports of
consumer and restaurant boycotts of online food delivery. Food delivery services have
When customers order food through an online delivery service, users usually must
pay charges on top of the cost of the food. A few of these extra costs can be a registration
fee, a service charge, or even a tip for the delivery rider. According to an article released
by The Wall Street Journal, some restaurants are accountable for the rising expenses of
delivery orders. For example, as stated in reports, Chipotle's delivery pricing is around 17
percent more than instore pricing. The Wall Street Journal indicates that DoorDash
customers pay $15.95 for a Chipotle meal that would initially cost $13.65 if purchased in-

Some other underlying challenge surrounding the Food delivery service is the

restaurants can extend their delivery area, increase the size of their workforce, and reach
more customers (Neuburger, 2020). Food delivery services also offer efficiency for food
businesses. It streamlines digital transactions in a timely manner, allowing for the most
efficient workflow in the kitchen (McCarthy, 2021). Unlike the traditional way of taking

Food delivery platform DoorDash, explicitly developed for the highest efficiency. It

Reaching new customers and the significance of the food business's online
presence are two variables that contribute to the incremental revenue. Consumers browse
online for restaurants to order from 90% of the time. Thus, accessing this captive
audience should be a priority for every restaurant owner (McCarthy, 2021). Possessing a
food delivery service presence is a great way to connect with customers who would not
normally eat at your restaurant. According to Sandra (2021), a business can reach new

addition, food quality is another factor that influences customer loyalty towards OFD

The unexpected lockdowns have greatly affected food businesses since the
beginning of the pandemic; they have lost sales and profit (Fairlie & Fossen, 2020).
Millions of people are forced to stay at home during the quarantine period, making online
food delivery services a significant food industry player (Lattanzi, 2020). In these

and, most importantly, generating profit, which researchers aim to criticize and
investigate.
Regardless of the benefits food delivery services contribute to the food industry, it
is critical to remember that they are also a disadvantage. The discounts and free delivery
that attract customers (Stanley, 2020) and the commission fee charged by food delivery
services lack control over the delivery services (McCan, 2020), and order errors and
delays negatively impact the customer (Kumar, 2022). The study by McCan (2020) stated
that competition between different food businesses and delivery sites is inevitable as
various apps and websites cater to people's preferences and food demands.
These challenges that have been found by different authors regarding the
utilization of food delivery services are related to the current study as challenges and

and take-out. To sustain the business, they decided to invest in a food delivery service to
generate revenue and stop the possible business loss. Participants of the study share
common experiences during the pandemic that pushed them to invest in a Food Delivery

These claims tend to support the inquiry of Lattanzi (2020), according to him
because millions of people were required to remain at home to manage the health crisis,
online food delivery services have become one of the primary actors during quarantine.
In another study of Alawan (2020) he also stated that online food delivery services have
these difficult economic times. As stated by the participants, because of the Covid 19
crisis they are pushed to invest in food delivery services to keep their business running
and let the customers still be able to reach them. Furthermore, the COVID-19 crisis
marks a new era, with a poll recently revealing that more than 51 percent of customers
Given the restrictions during the pandemic, food businesses decided to invest in a
Food delivery service because of some factors that pushed them to collaborate with them.
Participants shared some common experiences that reveal the factors that make business

The findings of this study supports the inquiry of (McCarthy, 2021) which shows
that the COVID-19 crisis marks a new era, with a poll recently revealing that more than
51 percent of customers rely on online food delivery. The rapid rise in popularity of food
delivery services like Uber Eats, Doordash and Deliveroo (to name a few) shows people
love the convenience of getting their meals delivered. In fact, a Statista report (2020)
shows 8.7 million Aussies have ordered food online or through an app in 2020, compared
with 5.6 million in 2017. According to Curry (2022), As the world went into lockdown in
February and March, Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and DoorDash all reported a sharp increase in
orders.
While some of the participants shared that investing in a Food Delivery Service
like Cabuyao Menus helped them during the Covid crisis, they can recall the actual
benefit and value of their investment based on their lived experiences. To measure the
worthiness of their investment, they look into some benefits they receive by paying some
amount of their financial cost that they consider affected the business. The participants in

● Brand Awareness
Food delivery service helped food business owners to promote and make their
business known to the market. As they use social media platforms and promotional
materials, people are intrigued and are able to acknowledge their businesses.

Furthermore, this reflects the inquiry of McCarthy (2021) that shows food
delivery services offer convenience to people who prefer accessibility to tasty and healthy
meals that can be served quickly and easily at their respective places. As stated by the
claim as stated by (Neuburger, 2020) is that the other advantage of utilizing food delivery
service is building customer relationships and reaching more customers, which is evident
on the participants' claim where they were able to expand and reach new customers. In
addition, According to Sandra (2021) you may increase sales from both new and existing
customers by boosting your brand's online presence in the marketplace. Also evident in

the participant’s answer where they stated that food delivery service helped them to
promote their business and make their business known to other people they never reached
before.
Investing in food delivery services offer advantages that food business owners can
benefit from. One of them is an increase in sales. As to what have the participants shared,
they noticed the increase in their sales while partnering with food delivery services.
(P2) It was good and right because that we are making money (because of food

The findings show how the participants' statements are related to the study of
Frost and Sullivan (2018) and Morgan Stanley Research (2020), wherein as the
businesses accept the conceptualization of utilizing food delivery services, some have
seen a boost in their incremental sales. Collison (2020) claimed that online food delivery
services aim to increase business profits. It can be said that online ordering systems help
the restaurants to boost their sales as overall sales in the delivery industry are expected to
increase up to $320 billion by 2029 (Curry, 2022). Through the participant’s responses
the researchers were able to conclude that a boost in sales is one of the common
advantages that food delivery services can offer to the food business owners.

that shows developing a budgeting process is the most effective way to keep your
company's finances on track. Managing resources can aid a business in performing its
tasks effectively and efficiently. It leads to the development of a customer base. As stated
by the participants, adjustments with budgeting have to take place as well as planning and

The findings of this study tends to support Allen (2022) inquiry that shows
investors should evaluate several different functional areas of the food delivery service
business in order to prepare for a potential transaction. Businesses' due diligence includes
examining the prospective food delivery partner's operational performance, food and

conditions, you can make the best choices about when to start investing. Furthermore,
assessing the tolerance for risk is essential as any investment carries some risk, but being
aware of how much risk you are prepared to face will help you choose the investing
The business owners are facing challenges such as how to keep products in good
condition while estimating the time riders will arrive at their destinations and promoting
products when there are no customers in the store because people are at home. Most of
the participants stated that they use techniques when it comes to preparing products.

meeting client expectations and happiness is the most difficult challenge for food delivery
services. For instance, certain things like ice cream and cold beverages need to be
refrigerated or packaged in particular containers to keep the ice cream from melting .
Similar to this, some foods need to be stored at a particular temperature to assure the
quality and flavor. According to Worth (2022), A make-to-order strategy is that food
preparation only begins when an order has been received. This is to make sure that the

Based on the lived experiences of the Cabuyao City food business owner, the
some time, food business owners have difficulties in spending control that leads them to
just enter an investment without prior planning their budget and finances. It is important
that businesses especially start-ups take a look at a clearer picture of not just amount of
money they are working with but also how it flows in and out of their business.
