According to Citizens, JMP, Instacart is sending shoppers to large-format stores approximately 14 times a day, affirming a booming business. The high frequency, combined with a 2- to 3-hour delivery window, has enabled the company to batch multiple orders together.
Consequently, Instacart has started batching priority orders to achieve greater efficiency. While Instacart stands to generate more revenues and profits from larger orders, the company’s scale provides valuable flexibility.
