From New York City to Chicago, brands like Ando and Seaside provide customers with their version of on-demand dining, a trend experts said appeals to younger generations who grew up with similar services, like Netflix, Forbes reports.

UK-based Deliveroo pioneered a similar strategy in Europe, and has since raised almost $500M and expanded to 12 countries, including Hong Kong and Australia.
