Are Millennials’ Preferences Shifting Towards Eating Out?

Internet has revolutionized the modern world bringing forth everyone to the digital world. Development in technology has made everything quite futuristic. Many studies showed how much technology dependent people have become and rely on convenient ways of living. At the present time, where speed and mobility rule the world, digital technology has made everyone’s life so much faster and easier. The online world has transformed even one of the ancient practices of human kind and that is eating at home. Eating has become one of kinds of culture for centuries. Today people are interested in not only what and how they eat but also where they eat. Millennials have strong preferences for convenience and so they find eating at restaurant easier and are most likely to have purchased prepared meals than home made foods.

The prioritizing of convenience above all else is a positive for restaurants generally (given the ease of eating out vs. preparing at home) it is especially advantageous for those offering delivery and to go. As this habit grows, more restaurants and fast casual chains are offering delivery and making their menu more accessible. Technologies like mobile ordering and delivery apps are playing a key role to make eating more convenient for millennials.  Nowadays with a few taps on your smart phone you can have the food delivered to your doorstep within 30 minute. Food delivering apps like- Pathao food, Shohoz food, Food panda, Hungry naki etc online food delivery apps have made life very convenient for the teenagers.

Millennials like to cope with new trends so eating in different outlets have become a new trend as they have to post a well captioned photo of a fine dining restaurant in their social media sites to show others what they had in their lunch or dinner and where they had. People want to eat outside foods for various reasons like- They will have a chance to enjoy various kinds of foods. Everyone has different favorite dishes and restaurants may satisfy all tastes of its customers. Even if they can’t go to restaurants they order foods from outside. But are the restaurant foods as healthy and hygienic as home made foods? The answer is surely different because recently many news channels have shown the inspection of foods at different restaurants and found many renowned restaurant’s foods unhealthy and unhygienic. In spite of knowing that eating out can be dangerous for health youths are likely to have outside foods than eating home made food as it has become their preference because nowadays people prefer varieties in their daily needs, from soap to clothing all they want is variation; so why their foods won’t have any variation in taste as well as in ingredients? This is the main reason why the preferences of millennials are changing from eating home to eating out. Moreover, the schedules of people are now so compacted that they find eating at restaurants more convenient and time consuming.

People should form the habit of eating home made foods because eating at home is much cheaper than eating at restaurants. People also should choose to eat at home to spend time with their families. While having dinner at home, they can share their happiness and troubles in job with their folks or even talk about a television program they like. This can make the family bonding stronger.

When you go to a restaurant and order dishes, look at the price or the menu and do a small calculation, you can see the price in the restaurant is at least twice higher than those you can cook at home. Besides they are not as hygiene as home made foods. Furthermore the food that is prepared at home is healthier than those which are served in restaurants. Forming the habit of eating out has created a disconnection between youths and their families, because eating time with family is important. It helps the family get closer. Imagine the scenario of a family with a mother and children cooking and telling each other about their day at school or at work. Children can easily learn how to make their favorite dish through gossiping. Father helps preparing the table and shares a joke to make the whole family laugh and bring the happy atmosphere to their house. This is one of the main attempts that make the house become home. These can not be attained through the preference of eating outside foods rather one has to prefer eating home with the family to lead a better and healthy life at the same time.
