Delivery initially started out as a way of delivering fast food to homes and many other types of businesses have now been added. This evolution, which arose from the need to optimize time, was greatly exacerbated by the social outbreak and the health emergency to which Covid-19 has left us exposed.
However, our circumstance of partial and total quarantines in some communes or regions has only accelerated the adaptation processes of businesses as a survival measure.
Fast food: The pioneer and the best known. Given its success, it quickly took over the sector. The key is to arrive in the agreed time and the food at its right temperature. Here they no longer only sell food, the home delivery service also adds points. Example: Papa John's Pizza ( https://www.papajohns.cl/ ) through PedidosYa.
Gifts and flowers: Their boom arises with force for Mother's Day, the secretary, the nurse and others. Delivery on this occasion is not only for the home, it is for the office, the hospital, among others. Imagine for February 14, Valentine's Day. Example: Flowers at Home (https://floresadomicilio.cl/) through their own delivery system.
Pharmacies: They have been implementing this for a short time, but they have adapted very well. In the current Covid -19 circumstance, it is a very good option. Example Fraccion ( https://fraccion.cl/ ) through their own drivers.
Delivery of drinks and ice: (liquor stores and others) Sales peak at night, and they have maintained a very good rating from customers for fast and safe deliveries. Example: Hielo 24/7 ( http://www.hielo247.cl/ ) through Uber Eats.
Grocery stores and warehouses: Currently, many supermarkets have gone from selling in their physical stores to selling at home. Example: Lider ( https://www.lider.cl/ ) through Cornershop.
