Mobile restaurant ordering apps have flooded the marketplace recently. Hungry foodies can order delivery meals from virtually any restaurant, from [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-door-dash) to the finest of fine dining. But to take advantage of these apps, users have to live within service areas (usually urban centres) meaning that some markets, such as campus delivery, have been severely overlooked. Chipotle has already partnered with mobile ordering services Postmates and OrderUp to offer fast food delivery. With Tapingo, the Tex Mex chain will corner campus delivery -- and cause elation among legions of hungry, exam-cramming students at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Campus Delivery Apps:** The trend of food delivery apps focusing on campus and university areas is growing rapidly, with startups and established companies alike launching new services in this niche market. - **Mobile-ordering Partnerships:** There is growing trend toward restaurant chains partnering with mobile ordering services such as Tapingo, Postmates and OrderUp to improve the accessibility and convenience of ordering and delivery service. - **Fast Food Delivery:** The market for fast food delivery is becoming increasingly crowded, with Chipotle among many brands now offering online and mobile ordering options to reach customers outside of traditional urban delivery areas. ### Where This Applies - **Food Delivery Services:** The food delivery industry is rapidly growing, with opportunities for disruptive innovation in areas such as specialization, convenience and speed of service. - **Restaurant Chains:** Restaurant chains are exploring ways to capitalize on the growing demand for online and mobile ordering, with innovative partnerships and creative marketing strategies to engage customers and keep up with rising competition. - **Higher Education:** Universities and colleges are becoming increasingly important players in the food delivery market, with partnerships with food chains and delivery services offering new opportunities for campus dining and student convenience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Location-Based QSR Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-3.md) - [Small-Scale Restaurant Catering Options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-buildyourown.md) - [Improved Fast-Food Delivery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-door-dash.md) - [Influencer QSR Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skipthedishes-and-creator-tinx.md) - [College-Targeted Food Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-one-shop.md) - [Localized Food Delivery Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/localized-food-delivery-app.md) - [Drone-Powered Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flytrex-drone-delivery.md) - [Late-Night QSR Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/student-tour-campaign.md) - [Menu-Inspired Dorm Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-outfitters-x-chipotle.md)
