There's no reason an instacart or doordash couldn't become the backbone for this type of service. They just need to allow local merchants to add their store/products and when users order, one of their drivers get a pickup and dropoff alert. The local merchant should promote the home delivery option via some signs they can print out and put in their store.
- hoodoof 12y agoThe really important point here is not just delivering, but actively reaching out on the phone at an appointed time to take that order.
- calbear81 12y agoYou would need to take a fee to provide that level of service since it goes beyond just logistics. Is there any reason why having that order option doesn't do it? You can set up a weekly email to go to your customer reminding them to place their order online for same day delivery and you can even save their most common orders online for instant re-order.
- hoodoof 12y agoYes there is a technology problem that is easily solved with email/reminders whatever but maintaining an ongoing relationship would need a phone call.
