grocery delivery

Doorstep food service

Grocery delivery is a service that brings food and household items from a store to a customer's home.

Once limited to local markets offering phone orders, it expanded dramatically with apps like Instacart and retailer services: We started using grocery delivery during the pandemic and never stopped.

The term covers both the service and individual instances: Our grocery delivery arrived late.
