The article mentions "merchant" over and over again and never "restaurant". Does this mean Postmates has shifted its focus away from restaurants? Edit: thanks

Edit: thanks for the replies below. Restaurants are the vendors where I most often find myself wanting something very specific delivered in a timely manner and been willing to pay a small premium - Postmates serves this use case better than any other service - glad to hear you will continue to support it even as you invest in other markets as well!
- seanplaice 11y agoNo shift in focus, we have always supported more than restaurants. Our goal is to make everything in your city available on-demand. You are correct though, food has been a huge catalyst for our early growth.
- ananddass 11y agoDisclosure: I am on the B.D & partnerships team on Postmates. We haven't shifted focus away from restaurants. We have about 3000 Plus partners today of which a majority are restaurants. We've always done more than restaurants. Food is most of what we do but there are also grocery, apparel, electronics, essentials retailers on Postmates.
