The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year, so cooking might not be high on the priority list for a lot of Americans. Luckily, technology company DoorDash is serving up discounts for your favorite fast food and casual dining restaurants.

For example, 42 percent of higher-income adults, which is greater than 350 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) consume fast food on any given day. This is compared with 31.7 percent of lower-income adults, which is less than or equal to 130 percent of FPL. The study also finds that men are more likely than women to eat fast food for lunch.
