Using Technology For Food Delivery
A lot of the technology we’ve already described helps make our lives easier by 
saving time and effort. Another example of this type of technology is food 
delivery. We all lead busy lives that could use some extra time. The ability to 
have things brought to your home is especially helpful for seniors or those 
with disabilities or sickness. One aspect of our lives that we often take for 
granted is the ability to head over to the grocery store. 
Grocery Delivery 
Food delivery can come in many different forms. Currently, many mobile apps 
allow you to order delivery from your favorite restaurants. We’re not talking 

---

about your 
standard pizza delivery. These apps pay people just like you to pick 
up takeout almost anywhere. A few examples of these apps 
include Postmates, Uber Eats, and DoorDash. 
Many of these same apps and others offer grocery delivery, such as Instacart 
and Shipt. A lot of grocery stores like Walmart, Target, and Kroger even offer 
delivery or pick-up options. The best grocery delivery plans for seniors are 
helpful if you love to cook but can’t make it to the grocery store that often. It 
can also help if you find it 
difficult to leave the house but still want to make 
home-cooked meals. 
Meal Kit Delivery 
Lastly, you can also use subscription-
based food delivery companies to get 
meals sent to your doorstep every week. These come in different forms. For 
example, companies like Blue Apron and HelloFresh deliver meal kits with all 
the ingredients for a set of recipes. It’s like getting customized groceries 
delivered with step-by-step instructions. Meal kits can help seniors by cutting 
out a lot of the preparation needed to make a meal. You still might need to do 
a little additional cutting and preparing, but it 
won’t be as intensive as going to 
the grocery store and starting from scratch.
