Now the question here is NOT which is the best delivery app to deliver on.
It's which is the best to START with. Which is the best for being someone's FIRST delivery experience. Grubhub? Uber Eats? Doordash? Postmates?
Here's the thing about getting started with delivery: You might find out you hate it. You're wanting to get a feel for how you like delivery as a whole, without having to make too great a commitment or investment up front. Then, if you like it, you can dive in more fully.
We talk about all four major apps, Postmates, Grubhub, Uber Eats and Doordash, and their pro's and con's as first time delivery apps. None of them is perfect, but in my opinion there is one app that stands far apart from the others because it fits that criteria I just mentioned.
