Food outlet is changing hands on a regular basis (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daily

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'on a regular basis' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'food outlet is changing hands' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'food' could be 'ail' (ail is a kind of food) and 'ail' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for daily that I've seen before include "Every twenty-four hours" , "Char" , "Help" , "regularly" , "often" .)
