It used to go to the store, a restaurant or at the market part of the daily routine. It was a reason to take a walk, meet acquaintances or simply we have some kind of activity between work and home responsibilities.
Thanks to numerous companies, as well as their applications that offer food delivery services or foods to our address, that aspect of our lives gradually changes.
For and against
Given that all finds a few clicks from us, it is quite understandable as this will affect our lives, and change our everyday life. Do we become lazy or don’t have time to buy? Like everything today, the possibility of choice brings with it and positive and negative aspects.
On the one hand, some services offered by the Globo or basket offer salvation in busy days when they have no time cooking, go to the store, or they are simply too busy to bother. Also, these companies are an ideal solution for those who are unable to move alone or for mothers with young children.
On the other hand, this service has its own price. And no, we don’t think of the delivery price as such.
The possibility of ordering literally everything reduces the amount of movement and physical activity. More precisely, it comes down to an absolute minimum. There is also an aspect of socialization. The possibility of ordering means that we never have to leave the comfort of your home or talk to other people.
– People like to come alone in the face and choose what suits them, so buying the most. As for the purchase and price, now it is spring and therefore the opportunity for people to sow themselves. Anyone who has a garden should sow alone and collect fruits, said one seller at Markale Markale.
The exact risk assessment of physical and mental health caused by these trends is impossible for now, so we will have to wait for a while before we bring an adequate conclusion.
According to Eurostat, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, young people between 18 and 35 years in urban areas, which are often characterized by hectic life, a shortage of free time, and long working days.
Likewise, the number of orders are growing among families with young children. As a possible reason, there is a shortage of time to truly devote to cooking and store meals.
– Citizens buy domestic and seasonal products in the best. Salad, young arc, potatoes and chard, says Suada Omanović, seller at the Markale market.
It is worth mentioning the trend of ordering drugs from pharmacies through an application of the Gloss or basket. This makes life easier for parents with small children, who don’t have to go for medications now. Or, on the other hand, it helps powerless to deliver their medications in a timely manner.
Food and water
In accordance with Eurostat data, the ordering services in BiH uses about 24 percent of the population. The comparison works, in 2023. year, this number was 21 percent. Thus, the delivery companies are recorded by the increase in demand.
This puts our country side by side with Croatia or Slovenia. Applications users say the most water, and specialties of Italian and American cuisine such as pizzas or burgers. The dishes of traditional cuisine are also listed high by number of orders.
When it comes to basket, trends are approximate to those in Glova. It is worth noting that the biggest turnover records from 16 to 18 hours, which corresponds to the end of the working hours of most citizens. As life becomes faster, and time is less and less, to be expected that ordering services will use more and more people, writes Liberation.
