LOCAL SPECIALTY FOOD DELIVERY

We make same-day delivery simple.

We’ll take away the complexity of shipping fragile or temperature-sensitive perishable food products so you can focus on growing your business and delighting customers.

We work with curators, bakers, bread makers, pastry chefs, and other specialty food artisans, big and small.

How it works

Using our local specialty food delivery service is a piece of cake.

1. Schedule a pick-up.

Use our partner portal to schedule pick-ups up to 30 days in advance or up to noon the day before delivery.
2. We grab the goods.

Behind the scenes, we match you with one of our friendly, trained drivers. On the morning of pick-up, you’ll get a text when they’re en route.
3. Same-day drop-off.

Your driver carefully delivers the shipment to its destination the same day it’s picked up. You’ll receive proof of delivery photos.
4. Happy customers.

With delivery taken care of, you can focus on what matters: creating outstanding food.

Free reusable packaging returns.

We help you offer a sustainability-focused delivery program that prevents waste. We’ll pick up and return your reusable coolers, trays, and other containers at no extra cost.

Reliable delivery by drivers that care.

Our specially trained professional drivers treat your fragile food creations with the care they deserve from the moment you hand them to us. In our eyes, whether we’re delivering to a cafe or one of your foodie fans, special handling = standard handling.

Your fresh food is never warehoused.

We deliver your delectable delights the same day they’re picked up. That means your shipments don’t risk damage at sorting facilities. Best of all, your customers get the freshest food with the longest shelf life.

Fragile food ships with fragile food.

Unlike traditional delivery services, we only service bakeries and specialty food artisans, so your shipments are never transported alongside bulky items from e-commerce sellers. It’s one of the ways we avoid damaged shipments and help you deliver a great experience for every customer.
