Our take
More and more people are looking to get things delivered fast, and businesses are trying to find inventive ways to meet the demand and get people’s purchases to them as quickly as possible. Favor solves this problem, with an on-demand delivery service that depends on “runners” to get products to customers quickly.
Customers can browse on the Favor app and select items from their list or input items from other stores in the delivery zone, and Favor runners will collect the item and deliver it within an hour. While many on-demand delivery services struggle to scale, Favor itself has managed to expand its operations across Texas and into Philadelphia.
A handful of the company's early rivals have since gone out of business, but the company is challenged by deep-pocketed businesses like DoorDash and Uber Eats. That said, its progress so far has been good, and Favor continues to innovate - for example with its B2B “Shop & Deliver” platform.
