We are NOT in eating recession

Just read this article, submitted by Jeffrey Summers via Twitter, that concurs with our own experience on Takeout-Online.com, which in essence indicates that people are still busy, they still need to eat, they still don't have time (or don't want) to cook and therefore ordering takeout is as popular, even though recession is all around.

I'm sure the impact is there and there are restaurants that are hurting and going out of business, but, at least at this point, it's a minority. We haven't had a single restaurant on Takeout Online go out of business in recent past and haven't heard from anyone that they would be, although some have indicated that the business has dropped a bit, for some.

Geographic location and local economies are certainly a big part of this mix as well, but as the article points out - people are ordering takeout, which is still something that every restaurant should offer, with the convenience of online ordering of course :)
