TL;DR
Amazon plans to shut down its US restaurant delivery services, including Amazon Restaurants and Daily Dish, by the end of the month. The decision affects a small number of employees, who will be provided support to find new roles within or outside the company.
When it comes to restaurant delivery, the options are almost endless. Amazon announced to GeekWire that they’re withdrawing their services available through the Amazon Restaurants website and the Prime Now app by the end of the month. “Many of the small number of employees affected by this decision have already found new roles at Amazon, and others will be provided personalized support to find a new role within, or outside of, the company,” said an Amazon spokesperson.
Along with Amazon Restaurants, Daily Dish is also closing, a service that delivered daily lunch specials straight to offices and workplaces.
Whether Amazon plans to make any further moves in the food delivery game remains to be seen. Companies like UberEats, GrubHub, DoorDash and Postmates continue to dominate the industry
