What are the differences between this and how alcohol has been offered on Postmates previously?
Bastian Lehmann
@dhulser This is a good question because most changes are not necessarily visible but let's start with the visible ones first. We reconfigured the tab bar to now feature a Food and a Drinks tab. When you slide to the Drinks tab you will notice that we have designed the experience to be item level first. You can browse the available inventory directly, without selecting a store - the store is automatically selected based on your location. We also added bundles, offers and clever category descriptions. ;) But the biggest changes happened in our logistics stack. We partnered with dozens of liquor stores to make the delivery faster, we created a base inventory that matches across all merchant partners and we integrated all merchants into a more real-time inventory system. The merchant partners also do the pick & pack for us, which in return helps minimize the time spent at the pickup and leads to faster overall delivery times.

Too bad the alcohol delivery option is closed on Mondays, and of all days to be closed!
