The average person spends 48 percent of their food budget on eating out. According to the National Restaurant Association, the average adult eats a meal or snack purchased from a restaurant 5.8 times a week. In fact, the restaurant industry remains the top industry searched for on mobile phone devices, according to a number of studies. "Restaurants need to ensure consumers can find them while on the go and Android and iPhone restaurant apps make this easy to do," Nicolas Baron of Bay App Studios states.

In developed nations, consumers prefer to use mobile web over mobile apps, although neither is used exclusively, according to Statistic Brain. In the United States, 46.7 percent used a browser, app or download, with 36.4 percent using a browser and 34.4 percent using an app. In Europe, these numbers continue to be slightly lower, with 41.1 percent using one of these three options while, in Japan, the numbers go up significantly. In this country, 76.8 percent use a browser app or download. "Companies must be aware of these statistics and work to develop an overall digital strategy which takes into account consumer needs and preferences, no matter where the customer is located," Nicolas Baron of Bay App Studies, a bay area web design and development company, explains.
