About half of Americans plan to eat restaurant food on Thanksgiving – By Justin Boggs (Scripps News) / Nov 20, 2023
A majority of those who say they plan to get part or all of their holiday meal from a restaurant are doing so because they say “it’s just easier.”
Who’s looking forward to a good old-fashioned home-cooked meal on Thanksgiving? According to a new survey, about half of Americans are not.
According to a survey conducted by Popmenu, 32% of Americans are planning to order takeout or delivery on Thanksgiving. That is in addition to about 17% of Americans who said they plan to dine in person at a restaurant.
When asked why they plan to get part or all of their holiday meal from a restaurant, 64% of respondents said “it’s just easier.” Others say they don’t feel like cooking, prefer professionally cooked food, or believe it’s cheaper than buying all the ingredients needed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner.
Popmenu, which commissioned the survey and provides technological assistance for restaurants, recommends customers plan ahead.
