The sample population consists of undergraduate and postgraduate college students from Coimbatore city. The study aims to explore the gender influence in online food purchase using food delivery apps. Non-probability convenience sampling technique is adapted to select the sample and structured questionnaire was administered to collect the data. The study identifies that there is a difference in gender and frequency in placing orders, choosing food delivery app and issues faced, preferring different food delivery apps, factors influencing the selection of service providers. The respondents are having more than one app to place orders. There is equality among both the gender regarding reasons to prefer the same app and expecting service quality of the food delivery apps.
