The coronavirus pandemic drastically altered our habits and routines virtually overnight, forcing us to stay inside and avoid gatherings at all costs. Restaurants and bars have been hit as hard as any business, doing everything they can to stay open while keeping their employees and their customers safe. For many of them, this meant limiting service to pickup and delivery, and on Friday, Postmates made our lives slightly easier with a new feature.
Postmates was the first online delivery service to introduce non-contact delivery at the beginning of March, and today, the company is beating its rivals to the punch once again with curbside pickup. From what we know about COVID-19, being in an enclosed space with other people for any length of time is risky, which is why Postmates wants to help local businesses drop off orders at the curb so that customers don’t have to go inside.
