Introducing Fizz: A New Way to Party
Alexa, play “Don’t Stop Teh Party” by Pitbull! Instacart has just launched Fizz, a fresh food-delivery app designed for party planning. This app aims to be essential for gatherings, especially among Gen Z and Millennials aged 21 and older.
Making Group Orders Easy
Fizz debuted on Tuesday with the goal of simplifying how people order snacks and drinks for events. If you’re hosting a gathering—be it the NBA Championship, Fourth of July celebrations, or Halloween—you can invite your friends to contribute.Just share a link in your group chat that leads them to your Fizz cart. Each guest can chip in for items like chips, dips, sodas, charcuterie boards, healthy snacks, beer, or non-alcoholic beverages.Once everyone adds their choices to the cart, you can either have everything delivered right away or schedule it for later with a flat delivery fee of $5. If alcohol is part of the order, remember that you'll need to show ID when the delivery arrives.
No App Needed for Guests
One great feature is that guests don’t need to download the Fizz app themselves. They can still add items directly into your party cart without any hassle. The app also takes care of selecting which store will provide your food based on its proximity to were you're hosting the event—no need for you or your guests to pick a store.
additionally, every drink purchase earns “snack bucks,” which are coupons that give discounts on future snack orders.
Understanding Generational Differences
According to TechCrunch's report featuring Instacart’s chief product officer Daniel Danker, fizz was inspired by observing how different generations approach social gatherings.Boomers and Gen X typically cover all costs when hosting parties; tho Millennials and Gen Z prefer splitting expenses among friends while considering everyone's dietary needs and restrictions.
Availability Across States
Currently available in 30 states—including California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii—Fizz is also accessible in parts of Louisiana and Nevada and also Massachusetts and Minnesota among others. It remains unclear when this service will expand nationwide.
With its user-friendly design aimed at making party planning easier than ever before while catering specifically to younger generations' preferences around sharing costs and dietary considerations—Fizz could become an essential tool for anyone looking forward to their next festivity!
