Takeaway origin

Packaging is the earliest form of takeaway. Although ancient, it continues to this day. With the popularity of telephone and mobile phone, telephone ordering has gradually become the main means of take-away industry, which also makes the take-away industry develop rapidly. Compared with restaurant packaging, telephone ordering has greatly stimulated the development of the take-away industry because of its advantage of not having to go to the door.

With the popularity of the Internet in the 1990s, the take-away industry has developed rapidly. Students and white-collar workers have become the main force of ordering food on websites, and many internet ordering companies have also developed. With the rapid development of smart phones, WeChat has developed rapidly with an unstoppable momentum. Based on this, many secondary developments around WeChat have been derived.
