There was a grocery delivery startup called Grocera that operated in Waterloo region for a little while a couple years ago (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/grocera https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/grocera). It's defunct now, but my wife ordered from them a few times, and was pretty sure it was one of the founders who showed up at the door, pulling the order out of the back of their own hatchback. So much value in learning first hand about the experience first hand, both for the customer and the staff person.

> So much value in learning first hand about the experience I couldn't agree more! I'm working for a startup doing alcohol/cannabis delivery. Before there was funding, our founders rode their bikes to do these deliveries (and have still done some deliveries in the past 6 months). There was so many lessons learned from doing our deliveries. One such example: we had a bug where our push notifications told the customer we had arrived, but were actually still pretty far away (GPS math sure is fun :P)
