Party Platform Launch by Instacart: Order Alcoholic Beverages and Snacks for Group Events
Fizz: Instacart's Party-Centric App for Booze and Munchies Delivery
Step aside, grocery orders! Instacart is stepping into the limelight with Fizz, its brand new app that caters to the essence of a good ol' party. Instead of stocking up on essentials, Fizz is all about snacks, libations, and good times.
No, Fizz isn't scraping ideas from a dusty, distant memory of another alcohol delivery app. Sure, there have been other players in the field, like Drizly, but Fizz stands on its own two feet. This app leans more towards a party-planning hybrid, bringing to mind apps like Partiful or Apple Invites. At its core, you order drinks and snacks, but you can also invite others to join the fun. In fact, Fizz has snuggled its way into Partiful, making it easy to plan parties with a few clicks.
Once you start a "party cart," you can share a link with your pals, who don't even need the Fizz app to get in on the action. Everyone can see what's already been ordered and add whatever strikes their fancy. The beauty? You pay for what you order, avoiding the need to track down your buddies and wrangle shared expenses. Yet, it's a bit of a mixed bag – on one hand, it's cool to let folks bring their own snacks, but for evenly balanced parties, it'd be swell if Fizz offered an option for equal splitting.
Ready to host a booze-filled soiree with Fizz? Enabling "Group Order" in the app harmonizes effortlessly with Partiful, allowing every partygoer access to the Fizz link.
As you might expect, Fizz is an 18+ zone. To keep things squeaky clean, there's a flat $5 delivery fee for all orders. Mind you, this fee doesn't include gratuity.
For areas where alcohol delivery is a no-no, well, Fizz isn't your app. According to TechCrunch, Fizz is currently available in Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana (in some areas), Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico (in some areas), New York, Nevada (in some areas), North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming. You can get your hands on Fizz by scanning the QR code conveniently located on their website.
