Not really, it's a combination of novelty and visibility. Who knows how intrusive the portal will be? It's likely going to be front and center, and after working in a grocery store I can assure you visibility sparks a whole lot of impulse buys. I started ordering pizza via a browser because I preferred it over talking to someone on the phone, but it took more steps than picking up the phone. It may not be a long term fixture but I guarantee there will be plenty of players out there that place at least one order, and considering there was practically no entry expense to get into the market any sale is positive.
