Consumption tax increase for one month Food delivery service Ties to refrain from eating out November 1, 16:52
There is a movement to refrain from “dining out” where the consumption tax rate has been raised to 10%, which is a tailwind for food delivery services.
Chiharu Unosawa, an office worker living in Tokyo, lives with four family members of her husband, elementary school children, and junior high school children.
After raising the consumption tax rate last month, we reduced the chances of eating out on weekends and increased cooking at home.
In order to save time thinking about shopping and menus, Mr. Unozawa uses a “menu set” that a food delivery company started selling in earnest last month.
Unnosawa-san made a set of uncut ingredients and recipes. On this day, Mr. Unozawa made three dishes with his children using the ingredients that arrived at home and enjoyed dinner.
According to a questionnaire survey conducted in late September by “Oixix La Daichi,” a food delivery company, over 70% of respondents said that raising the consumption tax rate would affect households, of which over 40% “I will refrain from eating out”.
Mr. Unozawa said, “If you eat out with a family of four, the amount of money will increase, so the number of meals will increase.”
