Demand for Food Delivery Apps Rising, Changes to Cold Chain Needed

 

The long term impacts of COVID’s acceleration of various industries are being felt, and the broader food delivery industry is one of them.

Is this important to customers? Director of customer success for Varcode Cyndi Metallo sure thinks so. We spoke with Cyndi to get her thoughts on where more data, better curated data, open communications, and overall, clear cut transparency will elevate the food delivery process and place more trust in the cold chain.
