Headquartered in New York, delivery.com offers service in over one hundred cities across the United States, including Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.[5][4] In 2014, delivery.com expanded into Hong Kong.[6] The Hong Kong assets were then sold to Foodpanda in 2016, ending delivery.com's international business.[7]
Products and services
editOnline ordering
editUsers can place orders online at www.delivery.com or download the mobile app for iOS or Android. To place an order, the user must first enter their address to find out what merchants are available for delivery or pickup. From there, they can add items to their “bag”, including food, alcohol, groceries, or laundry services like wash-and-fold, dry cleaning, or tailoring. Secure payment methods available to delivery.com users include credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Visa Checkout, or cash.[8] They also have the option to leave a tip at the time of checkout.
As a marketplace platform, delivery.com does not make or prepare food, nor does it handle laundry or deliver any of the items sold. When a user places an order, the order details are automatically sent to the intended merchant; the merchant confirms receipt from delivery.com then prepares and delivers the order.[citation needed]
API partners
editdelivery.com offers an open Developer API that enables developers to tap into its merchant.[9] As a result of these efforts, delivery.com currently powers online ordering for a number of companies and third-party apps, including WeWork, LevelUp, BringMeThat.com, Menuless.com, Zipongo, Foodme.io, and others.[10][11][12]
On February 11, 2016, delivery.com announced an integration with Foursquare, powering online ordering for the local discovery app.[13]
Competitors
editdelivery.com's main competitors are Grubhub, Seamless, Eat24, ChowNow, Uber Eats, Postmates, and DoorDash.[citation needed]
