To know third party restaurant delivery apps in Tampa, Florida from both the consumer and restaurant's perspective, including market share, active user base, fees, and reviews.

Early Findings

During our preliminary research, we were able to identify four restaurant delivery apps that currently deliver in the Tampa, Florida area. For one of the apps, we were able to determine their market share, number of active users, user fees, an analysis of user reviews, restaurant fees, and an analysis of restaurant reviews. We have entered these findings into a spreadsheet as well.
