For myself, I usually prefer to just go and pick up myself; that's almost always the fastest option.

For people with small kids, driving to pick up food can be a huge production, with car seats, diaper bags, strollers, etc. Curbside pickup helps, but delivery is so much easier, and sometimes just as fast.

Yeah, click for a delivery, bath the kids, read to them, put them to bed. Crack open some beer and wait for the food.

When I cook it usually takes an hour or so. So getting food delivered frees up that hour.

Agreed. There's also people who can't just "drive to the takeaway and back" because they don't have a car, are over the alcohol limit, etc.
