Urban areas, including Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, have become test beds for frictionless ordering, real-time order tracking, and subscription-based models. Meanwhile, intense competition among platforms such as Uber Eats, Demae Can, Rakuten Delivery, and Menu Inc. is forcing players to differentiate themselves through delivery times, app user experiences, and restaurant partnerships. As demand patterns shift from occasional indulgence to weekly necessity, logistics infrastructure and fleet optimization are emerging as key battlegrounds.

For instance, in June 2025, Menu, the delivery app operated by Menu Inc., launched a new delivery service in seven areas across Okinawa and Fukuoka prefectures. To make its delivery service accessible to more people, Menu began operations in seven new areas from that date, including the Okuyama Area, Manko Area, Naha Mihara Area, and Shuri Castle Area in Okinawa Prefecture. This shows how players are expanding their services across Japan.

Rapid Adoption of Platform-to-Consumer Models in Urban Corridors Surges Market Growth

Platform-to-consumer delivery has seen rapid adoption in Japan’s major cities, driven by consumer preference for consolidated choices, loyalty programs, and transparent delivery times. This model offers customers access to a wide variety of restaurants through a single interface, especially attractive in dense urban settings. Platform-based delivery is no longer an alternative; it is the default in Japan’s urban food economy. For instance, in October 2023, Uber Eats Japan (a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc.) announced the expansion of its “Express” delivery service in Tokyo and Osaka, cutting average delivery times by 20% using bike-based delivery clusters and predictive dispatch algorithms. This move aimed to enhance user retention and efficiency across high-demand ZIP codes.

Logistics-Focused Models and Third-Party Delivery Networks Gaining Ground in the Market

With many restaurants lacking in-house delivery capacity, third-party logistics platforms have become essential. These players offer scalable, last-mile infrastructure tailored to Japan’s high-density environment and complex building layouts. Logistics-focused delivery systems are not only closing the last-mile gap, but they are also empowering restaurants to grow digitally without logistical friction. For instance, in March 2024, Rakuten Delivery (Ratuken Group, Inc.) partnered with Sagawa Express co., ltd. to pilot a shared rider network in Kyoto, enabling smaller restaurants to fulfill online orders without managing fleets. The pilot saw an 18% increase in average daily orders among participating merchants, according to Rakuten Group data.

Grocery Delivery Leading Through App Integration and Subscription Models Drives Market Growth

Japan online food delivery market is experiencing robust growth, driven primarily by the rapid expansion of grocery delivery services. Leading platforms are leveraging advanced app integration with real-time inventory tracking, AI-powered recommendations, and one-click reordering to enhance convenience. Subscription-based models offering unlimited free deliveries or exclusive discounts are gaining popularity among time-pressed urban consumers. Major players such as Rakuten Seiyu and Aeon are integrating their online grocery platforms with meal-kit services and convenience store networks, creating seamless shopping experiences. The market is further propelled by Japan’s aging population’s demand for home delivery and pandemic-accelerated digital adoption. With contactless payment options and scheduled precision deliveries becoming standard, grocery apps are transforming from transactional platforms to essential household management tools.

For instance, in April 2024, Oisix La Daichi Co., Ltd., a leading food subscription service based in Tokyo, launched “Deli Oisix,” a new ready meal delivery service aimed at Japan’s increasingly busy, dual-income households. Deli Oisix offers customers a selection of vegetable-packed deli meals that can be prepared in minutes, simply by heating them. The launched come as 79% of Oisix’s regular members report being too busy to cook dinner at least two days a week, reflecting a nationwide trend where over 70% of households are dual income. Deli Oisix addresses this demand by delivering main and side dishes featuring five types of vegetables per meal, all made with safe, high-quality ingredients and menus supervised by registered dietitians.
