Simplifying the Grocery Delivery Game

In our fast-paced world, time is your most valuable resource. At Gopher, we know you are busy, and no one wants to spend time wandering grocery store aisles, waiting in long checkout lines, or lugging heavy grocery bags. We have created a very simple pathway to help you get your groceries straight to your door, without outrageous fees or subscription commitments. We let the pros (the Grocers) do their thing and we take care of the delivery. When compared to typical third-party delivery services, you’ll pay less overall for your groceries and the delivery driver will make more. We’re bringing back the old school Win/Win! Try us once and we’re certain you’ll try us again!

Not Your Typical Grocery Delivery App

We have set out to revolutionize the Grocery Delivery industry. Ok, so revolutionize might be a stretch… but what we’re really doing is improving the online grocery buying and delivery experience for everyone involved; Customer, Grocery Store, and Delivery Driver. Say goodbye to unexplained fees, limited shopping locations, item mark-ups, and uncertain variable pay for the worker. 

What we’ve discovered is you don’t actually have to pay more for convenience, at least not totally. Most Grocery Stores are set up for online orders, and in most cases, with a low minimum purchase, it’s free. There aren’t any markups on items either. (Depending on your grocery list size, these mark-ups can add up to $20-$30+) The Grocery Store employees will shop for your groceries and keep them fresh until your scheduled pick-up time. Their site will also keep track of your past orders and make it insanely easy to order again. Not to mention help you earn points, rewards, and perks by buying direct. 

When ordering the delivery of your groceries from Gopher, it’s just as easy. Simply enter the location of the Grocery Store, when you want your groceries picked up, and how much you want to pay your Gopher. Every request you make is saved, so reordering from your Request History is quick and easy. Please keep in mind, Gophers make exactly what you offer. Look at it like a wage, not a tip. Paying your Gopher well will still save you money compared to every other delivery platform out there! 

Here’s how you benefit. 

  1. You Choose the Store: When using Gopher Delivery, you have the freedom to choose which store you’d like your groceries delivered from. Whether it’s a small market down the street or your favorite supermarket chain, the store you want is the store we’ll deliver from. 
  2. Maximizing Value: When shopping online at your favorite local Grocer, the vast majority offer FREE express pick-up for their valued customers (as well as loyalty rewards and perks). The personal shoppers are store employees and the most knowledgeable at their job to ensure your list is perfect. 
  3. Schedule Your Pick-Up: Once you’ve ordered your grocery items and have the pick-up time established, simply schedule your Gopher request to be picked up and delivered at that time.
  4. Budget-Conscious: Unlike most delivery apps, Gopher does not charge you a markup on your items. You pay the Grocer the same price you would pay in the store.
  5. User Friendly: Starting a grocery delivery is super easy! Simply select Delivery-Grocery in the app, tell us when and where to pick up your groceries, and enter the delivery price you’re willing to pay.
  6. Clear Communication: Once your Gopher accepts your request, they’ll confirm their ETA and let you know when the groceries have been dropped off!

It seems like, these days, there’s a gig app for anything. Your phone probably already has a few installed – perhaps even multiple serving the same purpose. Because some restaurants are available for delivery on certain apps, right? And if it takes too long to get a ride from one rideshare service, it must be helpful to have another to check just in case – right?

We’re the kind of people to believe that less means more, and that’s the exact sentiment we’ve put into practice in our work since day one. So give your phone a break and get rid of all those excess gig apps. If you’re looking for a service that can help with all your errands, tasks and contract services, look no further than Gopher. Gopher is the only on-demand marketplace that provides unlimited options for workers to procure items or services requested, allowing you to get everything you want in one place.

Some of the top gig working platforms include:

  • TaskRabbit
  • Lyft
  • Doordash
  • Instacart
  • Wag!

These are five separate apps, but each of their industries are all overlapped by several competitor app. You might have Lyft, and also Uber, or Via, or Curb, or any number of city-specific services. The same applies to every other major gig app on the market today. 

Wouldn’t it be so much easier to streamline the process so you can get the job you need done, done faster? This is exactly what Gopher is here to do. Unlike other apps that only provide a few service options, with Gopher you can request literally anything AND bid or set your price to get the best deal possible.

As offers come in from our contractors, you can use the Select My Gopher option to review profiles, ratings, and reviews, and ultimately choose the best worker to fit your needs.

Once you connect with a contractor, they will use the Gopher GO app to fulfill your request. As they do, you can track the status in real time and communicate with your Gopher through the app. We don’t have any exclusive partnerships, and that allows us to avoid mark-ups or contract fees if you need items to be purchased. This means that you, and ultimately your contractor, get the best deal possible.
