Results revealed various push and pull factors affect the decisions of consumers' intention to use online food delivery services at an exploding rate. Therefore, this research is vital in providing the essential elements to food businesses in identifying the factors that lure consumers to order food through the online system. OFD services act as another source of revenue and a long-term marketing strategy for food businesses. This system moving forward also eases the life of busy city dwellers [20].
