Postmates, a popular food delivery service in cities throughout the United States, has announced its expansion into Chattanooga along with roughly 1,300 cities across the country.
The launch of Postmates in Chattanooga brings the total number of independent food delivery services in the area to at least nine. Postmates is a little bit different from other food delivery services though in that they will deliver from any restaurant a customer wants and not just partner restaurants – so delivery fees may just be higher.
According to their website, delivery fees range from $1.99–$3.99 for “Partner Merchants” – ones with the the green check mark next to their name, and $5.99–$9.99 for all other merchants. Unlimited delivery is available for $9.99 monthly or $7.99 per month when paid annually.
The Spot, Cadence Coffee Co., Edley’s BBQ, Yellow Deli, Jefferson’s and City Cafe Diner are just a few of the partner merchants listed on Postmate’s website currently. Customers can deliver from their website or download the Postmates mobile app on the Apple Store for iPhones or Google Play for Androids.
“We want to enable anyone to have anything delivered on demand and this latest expansion allows us to deliver on that promise across all 50 states in the US,” said Bastian Lehmann, Postmates co-founder and CEO.
