Finance, consultancy, legal, and tech firms drive in-office catering 

In 10M23, Deliveroo recorded a 33% YoY growth in average order value.

The order volume of Deliveroo for Work (DfW) orders increased by 300% this Chinese New Year compared to pre-pandemic. 

In the first 10 months of 2023, the food delivery company also saw a 33% surge in average order value stimulated by companies across Hong Kong.

A third of orders placed via DfW this year were over $1400 with larger team orders.

Deliveroo attributed this growth to companies looking to engage staff through communal meal offerings on their return to the office, following the return of in-office holiday celebrations.

Finance, consultancy, legal and tech companies in Hong Kong’s busiest business districts continue to drive DfW revenue.

Offices in Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, and Quarry Bay order the most, whilst offices in Hong Kong Island continue to outspend those in Kowloon. 

In terms of cuisine, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean food are the favourites of Hong Kong workers. 

Consultancy firms, meanwhile, prefer on-the-go bakery items like coffee, pastries and juice, and law firms opt for more presentable and healthy items like Japanese and Vietnamese bentos.
