For the last several years, the idea of off-premise has grown to match technology. Companies like Amazon have flirted with the concept of drone delivery, which in some ways has become an increasing reality. While you may not have a tiny flying robot bringing you your food yet- that’s not for lack of trying. Delivery bots are premiering on college campus, pushing the boundaries of how tech can currently and literally- deliver on their promise of off-premise dining. Lower-tech solutions are just as plentiful with businesses developing off-premise strategies that include mid-traffic delivery and companies like Uber Eats or DoorDash, working with business to provide fresh options.
