Feature Spotlight: Instacart App Integration

As customer expectations continue to evolve and demand for seamless shopping experiences - both online and offline - grow, catering businesses need to stay ahead of the curve to ensure they remain competitive for customer dollars. One way of achieving this is to ensure your catering offering is shoppable online through the various platforms and websites where potential customers are looking. The Instacart App is an online grocery marketplace that connects customers to their favorite retailers, increasing consumer access to food, all in one convenient place. So what if your grocery business offers catering and prepared meals? FoodStorm now integrates with the Instacart App so you can enjoy the exposure of this marketplace with the power of FoodStorm Catering Software for order management. 

What is the Instacart App Integration?

Connecting the Instacart App to FoodStorm allows retailers to receive orders from their Instacart App account to FoodStorm for seamless catering management. This connection allows catering items to be sold on the Instacart App, while providing the power of FoodStorm for the order management process. Additionally, after the catering orders are produced, the orders will be fulfilled via an Instacart Shopper.

How can the Instacart App Integration help my grocery catering business?

By having your catering items available on multiple platforms, you have an opportunity to receive more orders. The Instacart App is a widely used marketplace for grocery items, household goods and meal orders. This functionality allows you to increase the exposure of your catering items through your Instacart App listing while having your catering orders funnel through to your FoodStorm system for seamless order production and management.
