Amazon Prime Expands Restaurant Delivery

The StarTribune is reporting:

Amazon is adding another perk to entice Twin Cities residents to join its Prime membership program: free restaurant delivery within an hour.

It's the latest addition to a growing portfolio of services that Amazon has rolled out in the region in the last year as the online behemoth looks to persuade consumers to shop from its website and app and not anywhere else.

Amazon's restaurant delivery, a service it first rolled out last year in its hometown of Seattle, is now up and running in about a dozen U.S. cities such as Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

In Minneapolis, where the service launches today, Amazon has partnered with dozens of local eateries including Hell's Kitchen, Keys Cafe and Bakery, the Lowry, Common Roots Cafe, Gandhi Mahal, Broders' Pasta Bar, Manny's Tortas, French Meadow and select Leeann Chin locations.

It is only available to members of its $99-a-year Prime program and in certain Minneapolis neighborhoods such as Calhoun-Isles, Uptown, Linden Hills and Dinkytown. But the company is planning to expand the delivery region in the coming weeks.

I was unaware that Amazon was doing this anywhere. I see Portland is already on the list. Interesting.

This is going to put huge pressure on pizza deliveries.

I see this as the continuing tale of "two" Americas. Not only do you have to be able to afford $99 membership (which is likely to go up in price) but you have to live in the right neighborhoods to get some of the "freebies." Something tells me this will never be offered in some areas in Baltimore, Ferguson, or Milwaukee.
