delivery.com Launches Service in New York’s Capital Region, Calls for Competitors to Work with Local Communities

Albany Market Owner, Seth Weiss, urges national delivery services to treat their workers better

ALBANY, N.Y. (Oct. 4, 2021) — delivery.com today announced a new market in the Capital Region with local Market Owner Seth Weiss. Food and drink delivery services began this past week and include over 20 local businesses and restaurants, including beer, wine, and spirits. The service and app are available in the Albany area with plans to continue expanding through locally owned businesses and partners.

“The Albany area hosts an incredible amount of talent and culture and one of my favorite ways it’s expressed is through the diverse restaurant scene we have here,” said Seth Weiss, Albany Market Owner. “Food delivery has become less of a convenience and more a necessity for restaurants today. It’s the big guys who have the resources to offer these services, but they’re here to help themselves, not the restaurants or their drivers.”

“Delivery services are something that should integrate naturally and offer opportunities within an area, opportunities for restaurants to reach new customers, and opportunities for local gig workers to add to their income. We’re going to do right by our partners and drivers, and we’d like to see the national brands do the same.”

delivery.com offers an alternative to the high prices paid by restaurants and low wages earned by delivery drivers from mass-market delivery services. Through transparent delivery fees, low costs to partnered businesses, flat-rate compensation, and 100 percent of tips going to their drivers; delivery.com stands to benefit the local restaurant industry.

delivery.com is partnered with a growing list of 23 restaurants including: Shogun, Mamoun’s Falafel, Lazeez Restaurant, City Line Bar & Grill, Jewel of India, Curry Leaf Indian Restaurant, Emmanuel Thai Restaurant Oaxaquena Triqui, Union Bonchon Chicken & Cajun Seafood, New Yorker Pizzeria & Pasta, Daily Stop Market, Halal BBQ House, Mr. Bumbles Cafe, Fresh n’ Pressed, New Lilac Blossom, Elhariri Hot Food, Atomic Wings, Cusato’s Pizzeria & Deli, Via Fresca Italian Gourmet Market, Cafe Lark Pizzeria, Ballistic Shrimp, Latin and Grill, and Express Chicken & Gyros.

To celebrate the launch of delivery services in the Albany area, delivery.com is offering $15 off a first order when you download the app using promo code EATWELL.
