> I don’t understand why there aren’t ghost groceries, similar to ghost kitchens or warehouses.
There are. FreshDirect has a state-of-the-art facility in the Bronx, and I'm sure Amazon has several ghost groceries also -- e.g. they just bought two Fairways locations.
Pretty cool. Fresh Direct got started early and they rewired the entire supply chain. That's a tall order.
Instacart and the local grocery store should be able to work together to make incremental changes to what they are doing today. That seems like the low hanging fruit that could be put into operation in short order.
