In quarantine and self-isolation, finding good meals has become increasingly difficult. Grocery stores are completely raided, and most non-essential restaurants are closed or limited, at the very least. Many chains have closed their doors to in-restaurant dining. In the wake of such unusual times, food delivery services, such as UberEats, Postmates, DoorDash and GrubHub, have stepped up to try to help.
Many small businesses struggle to get business because very few customers are comfortable with leaving their isolation, but UberEats has partnered with over 100,000 independent restaurants to waive all delivery fees. “As more people stay home, local restaurants need your business more than ever,” their app says. While the app will still charge service fees, the deal can often save customers up to $10.
Other apps for delivery have also provided various deals, and many restaurant chains have offered deals specific to them to discount meals or waive charges.
While many may be concerned regarding the handling of food from the drivers, all of the apps are encouraging no-contact delivery. Drivers leave the tightly packaged food at the door and alert the customers only after they have gotten back into their cars.
The various promotions and services are efficient ways to stay healthy and full during times when eating out isn’t possible.
