Postmates is a food delivery application that you can use to have food, groceries, and drinks delivered to you. It provides a similar service to other popular delivery apps such as Ubereats and Doordash.

Open Locations

Before you begin, you will need to go into your phone settings and allow permissions or access for the Postmates app to your location. This is needed to factor in which establishments are able to provide you with service or delivery.

Login or Sign Up

Before being able to start, you will need to have an active account with Postmates. It is as easy as signing up with an email address and providing some key information for the app. You'll be good to order in a matter of minutes and all your information will be stored and tied to your account so you don't have to worry about putting it in again every time.

Search Bar

If you are craving for a specific food, it is as easy as doing a quick search for whatever you might be feeling. Otherwise, you can select from some of the more popular food choices in a specific area. Once you have chosen a food type, you can pick a franchise or restaurant, depending on your preference, taste, review ratings, and food selection. 

Restaurant Menu

Once you've decided on your restaurant of choice, you will be provided with a list of menu options. Different restaurants will factor in different costs and prices might vary in terms of in-app vs in-person costs. It is in your best interest to learn what options are available to you in your area and your local restaurant or grocer.

Add to Cart and Checkout

When you find the dishes, food, or drinks that you want, simply add it to your cart. Once you have filled your cart with your desired items, simply head to the checkout and you will be able to pay for your items there. Keep in mind that there are plenty of Postmates promo codes for existing users to watch out for. You want to be aware of any discounts or promos as this is a way for Postmates to stay competitive with other delivery apps. This benefits both the company and customers, and everyone is happy.

Delivery or Pickup

You'll decide whether or not you prefer delivery or pickup. Remember that some restaurants will charge a delivery fee, especially with the costs of food and the service charges they have to give to Postmates. The good news is that many places offer free delivery options if you meet their price requirements.

Profile

This is where you can change your user information, from payment methods, contact info, addresses, notifications, or sending gift cards. You can also choose to work with the Postmates and join the fleet. This is a great way to make some extra money on the side and work flexible hours.

When it comes to the uncertainty of businesses these days, it is important for companies to take advantage of all the opportunities to still provide services to customers. Postmates provides those options, both for consumers and businesses.
