Is Instacart paying significantly lower via this new system (aside from the UX advantage like Uber)? Assuming they have a reasonable proportion of couriers:orders and the pay change here is substantial, this seems like it could backfire if many couriers stop delivering / delivering as often, given how easy it is to switch to GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates, et cetera.
Instacart apparently has a surge-like system called "busy pricing." It'll be interesting to see whether that'll now occur more or whether they can actually retain their couriers (assuming they don't have an excess).
