The online grocer is partnering with DoorDash as it seeks to expand its presence across the country.
The partnership with DoorDash comes following a funding round of $7.9M and will allow the brand the opportunity to offer one-hour delivery in existing Farmstead markets and expand its presence to a further 15 cities. The partnership will also integrate Farmstead’s Grocery OS software with DoorDash, allowing shoppers using Farmstead’s proprietary software Grocery OS to have immediate access to the DoorDash platform.
Farmstead has witness a significant growth in recent years, the company doubled its Bay Area delivery radius, expanded from its home base in Northern California to Charlotte and now has plans to launch in Raleigh-Durham, Nashville, Miami and at least 13 other cities this year.
Pradeep Elankumaran, Farmstead Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Together, Farmstead and DoorDash can remove the two biggest barriers to grocery e-commerce success: order picking and packing efficiency, and low-cost, high quality delivery with a production capacity of thousands of orders per day. Farmstead’s Grocery OS facilitates efficiency inside the warehouse, and DoorDash provides the last-mile logistics and marketplace platform to reach consumers.”
