It takes less than 30 minutes for the average American to get frustrated when waiting for their food to arrive after placing an order for delivery, according to new research.
Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Meals on Wheels America, a survey of 2,000 U.S. adults looked at Americans’ patience levels when it comes to minor day-to-day inconveniences and found that if the restaurant is within a 10-mile radius, they start to get impatient within just 29 minutes.
That’s also the same amount of time respondents feel it should take for them to prepare a meal from start to finish at home.
The survey also revealed that from the moment they walk into a restaurant, 21% are only willing to wait 10 minutes or less to be seated. Once seated, it takes Americans an average of just 13 minutes before impatience to order starts to set in and after ordering, it only takes another 17 minutes before they’re restless for their food to arrive.
