Have you ever dreamed of an app where food could be delivered to you for a low extra fee? What if you could get groceries or some Glam Doll Donuts, maybe pick up some cat food with just the push of a few buttons? As random as these requests may seem, the new, up-and-coming company Postmates can cater to any of your random requests. From PetSmart to Smashburger to Urban Outfitters, you can have almost anything delivered to you within the hour for a miniscule toll.
The company, founded in 2011, initially had food orders making up 99% of their deliveries. While food is their top reason for delivery, other goods such as retail, health, and beauty products account for 20% of Postmate’s current deliveries. The 2016 goal for the company is to grow as a whole by 20%. Future plans also entail expanding their reach from 40 to 100 markets and increasing deliveries from 1 million per month to 10 million per month.
Current market conditions are in their favor as this up and coming company seeks to become a staple app such as Uber for consumers.
