      While there is one restaurant for every 421 inhabitants in France, there is only one home delivery outlet for every 58,000 inhabitants. Home delivery is a complex business which requires a good command of transport, cooking and service techniques and which can only be applied to relatively simple, well-known dishes. This is why pizzas are particularly popular in this area []
