  This could significantly help local businesses stay competitive in the face of services like single-merchant delivery services such as Amazon Prime and Spoon Rocket.

  It's worth noting Uber Rush is also integrating with a few other services such as delivery.com and ChowNow [0].

  It makes sense for a lot of restaraunts and stores to use something like this as a shared delivery service.
