Basically online companies and the companies who who deliver.
Before the usual lot moan about how buying anything should stop because it of its impact on health/environment (delete as appropriate), its good news for the local economies (food takeaways) who badly need it, jobs for those who need every penny, and the general economy. Could result in more UK distribution centres as well.
I think the opposite: so many small, specialist retailers have been unjustifiably forced to close that local economies are being crippled, along with consequent deleterious effects on morale, a town's atmosphere, security, levels of poverty etc.
Jobs for those who badly need them are being shed more liberally than coronavirus, like dandelion seeds on a windy day.

Does anyone get the impression that free school meals is just a political football, pardon the pun, we're not in Oliver Twist if takeaways went up by that much.
Frankly if anyone shops at Lidl buys pink prosecco and has takeaways many times a week, then complains when a box arrives containing free food, which they will do before feeding their children properly doesn't know what budgeting means.

Got to be a voucher
So obvious middle man would take a large profit

My village shop has done well as well.
Companies that were failing to embrace online have just had the inevitable brought forward by a few years.
We do need to replace VAT with an Environmental Tax on Goods and Services to improve consumer choices. In addition why can't we insist that all small commercial vehicles used for deliveries are electric by 2025.

I recommend surcharging all the "non-essential" items the supermarkets sell.
The specialist retailers have been closed down by government decree and may not sell those goods, but they are still available in supermarkets. The supermarkets are coining it, so an additional tax would help subsidize the businesses which are forced to shut.
(I wonder if you could get a hairdo at Tesco?)

During war's, depression and plague etc alcohol companies massively increase profits. It's not surprising the richest family (14 shareholders) in Scotland with UK assets estimated @ £3billion, and a further £4.2billion stashed in off-shore accounts, with one selected family tax exile to watch over its growth, Harry Potter Goblin style...
People complain they have no money but can afford luxury items such as take away foods which are far more expensive than buying prepared meals from a supermarket.
Can't complain our business is doing very well out of the Lockdown and Epidemic but like wise are the people who work for us and those we have employed since April who otherwise would be out of work.
The challenge is once the panic is over retaining all the business we have built up.

All those home schooling teachers need that Prosecco. Should be given out for free. Small things like this will help get this nation through this. But ban cigars. They are the devils work.
To be honest as i'm getting older I've traded my jeans in for joggers, far more comfortable, I'm not bothered of peoples opinions either. It's quite amusing turning up to a nice restaurant (£50 Fillet Steak type restaurant) dripping in Reebok.
Pink Prosecco! Just shows the lack of class in the UK! The French would never stand for it.
Well the French make Rosé wine (a mixture of red and white wine) that's pretty disgusting and show's a lack of class. They also make Beaujolais Nouveau a really nasty wine.
They do make pink champagne though. (Which being poncey they call rosé.)
The French think they make wine and the rest of the world make grape juice. Dinasaurs.

Rosé is often a second-cropping of the amassed red grapes after many pressings. Once enough pulp accumulates, they can press it again and squeeze some more juice to ferment. As most of the red pigment went into the first pressing, the wishy-washy stuff that's left is pink.
Perhaps you'd like to try some marc de Bourgogne?

Whichever way you spin it, there are many more losers than winners in this fiasco.
