Amazon is expanding its Prime Now service to include food delivery from restaurants in Los Angeles. Prime Now is Amazon’s one-hour expedited one-hour delivery service that is being tested in large urban centers. The new service delivers food from beloved L.A. restaurants like Umami Burger, Baby Blues BBQ, Feast from the East, and many more. Prime customers in L.A. can also order groceries from stores like Sprouts and Erewhon Organic Grocer.
Amazon’s entry into food delivery may presage a future where delivery is taken over by tech giants and restaurants no longer run their own delivery services. Amazon has many resource advantages that could eventually make them be the default option for food delivery. Imagine a future where delivery food arrives to the door in 15 minutes, delivered through the air by an Amazon drone. That may be the future the Amazon is working towards. The tech giant’s delivery service both puts it into competition with L.A. delivery restaurants and gives those restaurants an opportunity to take advantage of the company’s resources.

The bar, located in the back of the Thai restaurant Soi 7, serves up mixology-inspired boba tea creations. Bartender Elton Keung steeps tea in an electric infusion machine before adding freshly-boiled Tapioca balls and mixing in the customer’s preferred beer. The next step for Boba 7 is acquiring a liquor license so it can use hard alcohol in its drinks.

One restaurateur has decided to take action against Yelp by banning Yelpers from his restaurants. Aric Mussman, who owns two restaurants in Tucson, AZ, recently hung up “No Yelpers” banners at the entrances of both of his establishments.
