Instacart Launches Fizz, a Group Ordering App for Party Snacks and Drinks

The standalone app simplifies party planning with shared carts, flat delivery fees, and rewards, targeting younger users with seamless social features.

Overview

  • Fizz allows party hosts to create shared carts where guests pay only for their own items, eliminating post-event bill-splitting.
  • The app charges a flat $5 delivery fee paid by the host, with no additional fees for guests, and offers tipping options for shoppers.
  • Fizz integrates with the event planning app Partiful, enabling hosts to embed shared carts directly into party invites.
  • Guests can join and order via the Fizz.com website using just a phone number, without needing to download the app.
  • Users earn 'Snack Bucks' on drink purchases, which can be redeemed for discounts on future snack orders.
