Around 60–70% of Americans say they order takeout or delivery at least once a week, depending on the survey and whether delivery is counted together with pickup.

The Quick Scoop

  • A recent restaurant industry report found that about 47% of U.S. adults order takeout at least once a week.
  • Another set of online ordering stats reports that around 60% of U.S. consumers order delivery or takeout once a week.
  • Separate consumer research shows about 70% of people had picked up a takeout order in the past month , indicating that a clear majority use takeout at least monthly and many do so weekly.

Taken together, newer data points suggest that roughly two‑thirds of Americans order some form of takeout (pickup or delivery) in a typical week , with weekly participation commonly cited in the 47–60% range and monthly participation around 70%.

Note: Different surveys use slightly different questions (weekly vs monthly, takeout vs delivery vs both), so any single percentage is an estimate, but all recent data agree that takeout is now a mainstream default for U.S. dinners.
