How Amazon is disrupting foodservice

Amazon is a giant, the one time online bookstore has turned into an absolute powerhouse. It does not seem like there is nothing they can’t do, and now they are looking to get into food. They are looking to get into a lot of different food ventures, maybe even change the game.

Key Takeaways:

  • A potential gamechanger for quick-serve spots, Amazon is testing out a new grab-and-go concept offering meals prepped by chefs, minus the familiar trappings of cashiers and checkout counters.
  • This concept is one of three brick-and-mortar food concepts in test by the e-retailer, which plans to roll out at least 20 supermarket-style facilities, though it’s unclear how many would fall under the Amazon Go format.
  • The company is delivering meal kits on demand as part of its AmazonFresh same-day grocery service, now in more than 18 cities.
