Abstract

China’s food delivery market has grown rapidly over the past decade, growing more than 30-fold since 2011. Amid an overall decline in the restaurant industry due to the widespread coronavirus, the takeaway industry has continued to grow steadily, injecting new life and vitality into the market. Behind this brilliant achievement, legislative challenges brought by the new employment model, unfair competition on the platform, damage to the interests of merchants caused by monopolistic behavior, pollution, and waste caused by takeout packaging have become major obstacles to the sustainable development of the takeout industry. This review explains the reasons for the food delivery industry to keep growing during the epidemic from the perspectives of policy, economy, and technology. At the same time, it points out the seriousness and adverse effects of the above three problems and proposes to solve the problems by exploring new labor relations to reduce the legislative burden, promoting the implementation of anti-monopoly law to eliminate infringement, and improving the waste pollution recovery system and the corresponding accountability mechanism to improve the social consciousness. Sustainable development of the food delivery industry inevitably requires the cooperation of all stakeholders, and the best way to push the industry forward is to solve internal problems.
