Goodbye, traffic jams and dressing up—hello, delicious meals from your favorite restaurants, all from the coziness of your home! Amazon is taking convenience to a whole new level by teaming up with popular eateries to have your cravings delivered straight to your doorstep. It’s like they’re saying, “Just take our money, Amazon. We’re ready!”
This strategic move is a natural fit for Amazon, which seems intent on providing everything we could possibly desire. With the fast-food delivery market booming—reaching around $10 billion in 2016 and projected to soar to $35 billion by 2020—it’s clear that Amazon is tapping into a lucrative opportunity. Plus, this new service shines a light on Amazon Prime, making sure even those few who are unaware of its perks become in-the-know.
Isn’t Amazon Already Delivering Food?
You might be wondering, “Isn’t Amazon already delivering food from restaurants?” The answer is a bit complicated. A few years back, they launched a one-hour delivery service in Seattle, and while it has expanded to a few more cities, a recent partnership with Olo promises to widen the selection of restaurants available for delivery, making it even easier for those of us who find cooking every night a bit too much.
And the best part? Shake Shack and Chipotle are among the restaurants on Olo’s roster, meaning your beloved crinkle fries and burrito bowls could soon be just a click away through Amazon. Additional eateries like Five Guys and Wingstop are also expected to join the lineup.
Expanding Options
For instance, if you live 30 minutes outside Seattle, you can currently choose from 53 different restaurant options via Amazon Restaurants, but that number is about to grow significantly. Olo’s technology allows you to place orders with your favorite spots right from your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to Amazon’s partnership, you can skip the drive to pick up your food.
As Olo CEO, Mark Ellis, mentioned to Bloomberg, “This is a big market for Amazon to access.” With at least 200 restaurants already using Olo, this collaboration opens up a wealth of options. For example, Buca di Beppo, known for its 90 Italian locations, is gearing up to offer its menu through Amazon Restaurants. So, get ready for family-sized spaghetti and meatballs delivered to your home faster than you can say “two-day Prime shipping.”
Conclusion
In short, prepare to embrace the comfort of your fancy pajamas while Amazon delivery folks bring your favorite meals right to you.
