Postmates - Food Delivery

Hey, talk about Postmates-this takeout App has something to do with it

Do you ever imagine that feeling? I was just too lazy to move, but a hot rice suddenly appeared at the door-and it was not just rice! Postmates, this guy, doesn't limit himself to takeout at all. He wants to take care of all the small things of your life that are "delivered to the door". From your favorite restaurant meals, to roadside snacks, even supermarket daily necessities and drinks... it wants to manage everything. As a person who loves to mess with technology and is greedy, I tried it myself to see if it was really as amazing as it was, and how worse it was compared with those big takeout factories.

Why does it make my eyes shine?

1. You can send anything, really anything
As for other takeout apps, they can only deliver food. But Postmates is different-it's your personal errand boy. Want to order a burger? No problem. Suddenly realized that there was no milk at home? It can also deliver. Even on my friend's birthday, I couldn't be bothered to go out and buy a gift, so I tried to place an order... Good guy, I really gave it to you. To be honest, this feeling of "giving everything away" is quite refreshing.

2. Tracking takeout is like watching a live broadcast, but you can also play tricks
Its tracking feature is great-you can see in real time where the rider is and how long you expect to arrive. Many apps also have this, but Postmates also offers a sweet spot: You can specify a specific time to deliver it, or let the rider take a detour to do something halfway (such as stopping by a convenience store to buy a lighter). This kind of flexibility is not necessarily available to other families.

3. Buy a member? The money saved smells so good
If you order frequently, Postmates has a subscription called "Unlimited" with free shipping fees and some discounts. I calculated and found that the delivery fee I saved in one month was enough to eat another meal. It's telling you: the more you use, the better.

How does it feel to use it? It's like talking to a friend who understands you.

Open the App, the whole interface is very refreshing_blue background with a little orange, looking at it is reassuring and a little excited. Every icon is beautiful, the ordering path is clear, and there is no need to think. To tell you the truth, the first time I used it, I slipped it casually. I placed a good order in a few minutes. I didn't even read the tutorial. Even those who never touch this kind of App can probably get started quickly. Click a little, slip, pay also smooth like oil, loading speed, basically did not let me wait.

How is it different from Uber Eats and DoorDash?

Uber Eats and DoorDash focus on restaurant takeout. But Postmates draws a bigger circle--it's a lifestyle app. Not only can you order meals, but you can also order cat food, stationery, and even emergency cold medicine. Its slogan "Anything to Your Door" is not for nothing. Moreover, it cooperates with many small local businesses, which always feels like a small community store, not as cold as a big company. If you're like me and often find that you need more than just a meal, Postmates is tailor-made for you.

Then should you use it?

Honestly, it depends on your needs. If you often need odds and ends--like a last-minute bottle of wine for friends, or a snack run out in the middle of an overtime--Postmates can help you get it all together. But if you only want the most professional menu options, it may not be as "exclusive" as the takeout-focused app. But for me, the sense of "one App to deal with all kinds of emergencies" is really too important. Even if you use it once in a while, it's worth it.

Finally: It is really a practical "little helper in life"

I went around and came to the conclusion: Postmates didn't brag, it did surprise me a lot. The combination of being able to deliver everything, being flexible, and being easy to use makes it one of the apps on my mobile phone that I can't bear to delete. Whether you are a takeout veteran or just want to try it, I think I can give it a chance-maybe one day when you stamp your feet in a hurry, it will become your savior.
