What are the biggest takeaways from Demae‑can 2025 delivery trends?

Burgers and sandwiches lead category share. Single-person orders and side menu demand continue to climb. Average order value is higher in car‑centric prefectures than dense metros. That split supports segmented pricing, bundle-led promotions regionally, and fast-turn strategies in cities. Investors should track attach rates, contribution margin, and distance bands to confirm sustainable gains.

How do urban and regional markets differ for Japan food delivery?

Urban areas tend to have higher order frequency, shorter delivery distances, and more price sensitivity. Regional, car‑centric prefectures show fewer orders but higher average order value, helped by family bundles and planned purchases. This means metros benefit from speed and attach, while regional markets respond to bundles, stepped delivery thresholds, and clear value ladders.

Which promotions work best based on the 2025 data?

Short, targeted coupons around peak dayparts help in cities, paired with strong placement for burgers, sandwiches, and high‑margin sides. In regional markets, bundle-led offers and free‑delivery thresholds that match cost-to-serve protect margins. The key is segmenting promos by cohort and distance band, then measuring lift against baseline contribution margin per order.

What metrics should investors monitor in early 2026?

Focus on average order value, order frequency by cohort, contribution margin per delivery, and side menu attach rates. Add delivery distance bands, on-time rates, and cancellations during peaks. If attach rises without heavy subsidies and AOV holds in regional markets, pricing power is improving. Stable city frequency indicates strong convenience value.
