Recently valued at $2 billion in its latest funding round, Instacart is teaming up with the widely used recipe-platform Yummly for a joint grocery delivery service. Yummly itself, is a booming recipe delivery platform with over 15 million active users.
This partnership will be beneficial to those on the Yummly iOS app where users can pick out recipes and get the food items delivered to them within an hour. At the press of a button, customers can have all the ingredients from a yummly recipe purchased and delivered within an hour.
The Instacart personal shopper will make sure your order from Yummly is given high priority in terms of service and delivery, it will gather your ingredients from a local store and send it right up to your doorstep. This grocery delivery service eliminates the need for customers to wait in line in grocery stores or sit in traffic to get to a local store.
Instacart is expected to flourish as this partnership makes sense as a utility for customers and should turn out to be lucrative. Apoorva Mehta, founder and CEO of Instacart says “Yummly and Instacart are aligned on our technology-driven understanding of food and focus on delighting the customer.”
The new Instacart’s grocery delivery service is available through Yummly for iPhone users in certain cities starting today: Atlanta, Austin, Boulder, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
