Work Lunch Image: Here we swear by the homemade dessert

The vast majority of Hungarians have lunch at their workplace during the week. This is especially true for people living in the capital, and between 18 and 30 years old, this proportion is higher than eighty percent in both segments, according to a representative [1] survey of the food supplier Wolt Hungary and Profession.hu.

"Nearly two-thirds of respondents consume home-made food, but compared to our three-year-old survey, it is definitely a good thing to break up today, and only one in five employees is eating while sitting in front of a computer, rather than giving themselves the necessary lunch time. ” - said Balázs Varga, Marketing Manager of Profession.hu. He added, "it has risen slightly compared to the past, and it is now 10 percent of those who have lunch at the restaurant during the week."

Almost the same amount of lunch is ordered by home delivery, which, according to research, is more typical of the capital cities. It is interesting to know that the Budapesters have made their calls on the internet clearly during the food order: only nine percent of them order lunch by phone, use the website of the others or the selected restaurant, or use the sites that collect the offers of several restaurants. The change in food ordering habits is also shown by the fact that more people choose the food order through the applications in the capital than the telephone order.

Budapesters are more conscious of eating

Of those who completed the online questionnaire, Budapest declared ten per cent more of the rural population, and 76 per cent said they were eating regularly. There is an even greater difference in healthy eating, as 35% of the countryside and 52% of the Budapest population are eager to eat salads or low-calorie foods on a regular basis.

What's more, half of the capitalists regularly write a weekly order plan for themselves and pre-order what they want to eat. However, twenty-three percent of them say that they will only have to eat the day they first climb.

But what do we order?  

According to the research, the majority of the Hungarians choose Hungarian food or a salad, followed by Italian cuisine: 40% are fond of pizza and Italian pasta. All this is confirmed by Wolt's experience: in October, most couriers delivered pizza to the house, along with evergreen Margherita, salami, and fungal pizzas. But they also have hamburgers and Asian food orders.

"Both feedback and research results show that predictable and reliable delivery with environmentally friendly solutions is becoming increasingly important," said Ákos Tajta, Managing Director of Wolt Hungary.

The survey shows that the most important thing in ordering food is fast and accurate delivery, and prices will only come after that. Eco-friendly packaging is an increasingly important aspect of the younger generation.
