The perfectly portioned menu items are designed to be eaten with one hand (and a drink in the other) so that people can enjoy walks or other out-of-home adventures, and experience great food and drinks without having to be tied to a table. Some of the options that can be ordered from the [takeout and delivery concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-baba-by-amal) include burgers, Berkshire Dogs, vegan celeriac and [hand pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeaway-pockets). Over the last few years, people have grown accustomed to getting their favorite food and drinks with [takeaway services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacodeli-grab-go) and this changing way that people are ordering and eating their food is reflected in RŌDIE. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **On-the-go Food and Beverage:** The trend of people seeking convenient, portable food and beverage options continues to grow and offers opportunities for innovative takeout concepts. - **Single-handed Dining:** The concept of one-handed eating and drinking can inspire new menu items and packaging designs that prioritize easy consumption for people on the move. - **Hyper-localized Takeout:** Offering unique, locally-inspired menu items and drinks can attract customers looking for new and authentic takeout experiences in their own neighborhoods or while traveling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Delivery:** Companies in the food delivery industry can explore opportunities to partner with or create their own on-the-go focused restaurants or menus. - **Packaging and Design:** Companies specializing in food and beverage packaging can offer solutions that prioritize convenience and ease of use for one-handed consumption. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Businesses in the hospitality and tourism industry can highlight unique and hyper-local takeout options as part of their marketing strategy to attract visitors seeking authentic food experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grab-and-Go Hot Food Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onvo-food-on-the-fly.md) - [Savory Foodservice Menu Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollover-menu.md) - [Convenient Handheld QSR Burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/costa-vida-1.md) - [Healthy Take-Out Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-the-go-bundle.md) - [Customizable Middle-Eastern Dining Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/east-tea-can-express.md) - [Combinational On-the-Go Food Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beltur-go.md) - [Dirty Soda Drive-Thrus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-drive-thru.md) - [Soda-Inspired Food Crawls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jarritos-food-crawl.md) - [Takeaway-Inspired Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeaway-pockets.md)
