The on-going COVID-19 pandemic is changing the way people receive services. Groceries and food delivery are popular, and these days they are a necessity. Thus, the gig economy apps reached new heights. Restaurants, stores, and other food suppliers had to rearrange their business. So, they built partnerships with food delivery companies. Meanwhile, these companies gave a chance to gig workers to increase their income.
DoorDash
DoorDash was fast to respond to the pandemic in its beginning in March. The company gave local business support. Recently DoorDash launched a new campaign. The tech giant hoped to rebrand restaurants to virtual platforms.
Grubhub
Grubhub also responded to the restaurant shutdowns by decreasing their fees. The brand keeps flourishing, and it gives drivers the chance to deliver food. Besides, food delivery drivers can see how much tip customers are leaving before they accept their request.
Uber and Uber Eats gig apps
Uber is also committed to helping customers with their grocery shopping and food delivery. Clients can use Uber to get to work and order dinner. Clients in Latin America and Canada can order groceries and food through both the Uber and Uber Eats app. Grocery delivery is available in Miami, FL, and Dallas, as well.
Lyft
Lyft is another app for rideshare drives, like Uber. This app connects passengers looking for a ride with drivers who have a car. A difference between Lyft and Uber is that Lyft allows customers to tip drivers via using their app. The brand currently only operates in the United States and Canada. However, there is a limited choice of cars.
Postmates
Postmates is another app such as Uber and Lyft gig apps. Customers can order food, groceries, and many other goods. Moreover, the service is available 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Postmates` couriers deliver in less than an hour. Users of the app can even buy alcohol through Postmates.
GoPuff
GoPuff is a digital delivery service in selected US cities. The app provides deliveries of snacks, drinks, and household items. Customers can even order pet and baby products. They can also get alcohol, such as beer, wine, and spirits, but from some markets over the country. Customers can order items online or through the goPuff app.
