Postmates, the startup that offers on-demand delivery for anything in your city, now lets people order ahead for pickup. This comes about one year after Square’s Caviar expanded into pickups, following the acquisition of OrderAhead’s pickup business.
It’s not clear how many markets this is available in, but TechCrunch has reached out to Postmates to learn more.
Last November, Postmates shipped a revamped version of its app, which added a grocery service and scheduled deliveries to the platform.
Postmates’ pickup functionality comes on the heels of news it may be teaming up with DoorDash in an effort to better compete against Uber, GrubHub and Amazon, Recode reported earlier today.
