However, the frequency ofeating delivery, takeout, and convenience foods and the utilization of online shopping and delivery apps had considerablyincreased. In addition, when selecting menus, considerations of health, hygiene, and convenience were more importantduring the COVID-19 pandemic than before the COVID-19 pandemic.
