Jimmy John’s to Partner With DoorDash

Posted on by [email protected]_84

Jimmy John’s, the private-equity-owned sandwich chain, will partner with food-delivery specialist DoorDash in an effort to expand its customer base and improve its delivery system, according to media reports.

DoorDash, San Francisco, said on Wednesday that Jimmy John’s restaurants across the U.S. will be added to its delivery website, according to CNBC.

Jimmy John’s, Champaign, Ill., said that it would continue to deliver its own orders. 

In February, the chain said it would never authorize third-party-delivery companies to deliver its orders.

The Jimmy Johns deal comes after DoorDash unveiled a new self-delivery service, which enables merchants to fulfill their own orders but benefit from the reach of the DoorDash app, according to CNBC.

The partnership is doing a pilot test with 100 restaurants over six months before making it a permanent chainwide deal, according to CNBC.

As part of the deal, Jimmy John’s will join DoorDash’s subscription program, which offers

Gatik And Loblaw Partner To Bring First-Ever Driverless Deliveries To Canada

Posted on by [email protected]_84

Canada is poised to see driverless commercial delivery of goods come to Toronto in the near future, thanks to startup Gatik bagging a $25M infusion of capital plus a partnership with Canada’s largest retailer.

Launched in 2017 in Palo Alto, Gatik is focused on B2B short-haul logistics, i.e. the “middle mile” shuttling goods between warehouses and retail outlets. With the current boom in e-commerce, customers want to receive their purchases ever faster. For retailers to deliver on this, they face challenges in cost and labor. According to Gatik, ninety percent of retailers are losing money on each delivery. To make it worse, a lack of drivers holds them back. Currently a typical order to be delivered to your neighborhood retail store or pickup point might take two days (what we used to call “fast”). By implementing a small army of bot trucks running between
