Here’s to all the mamas out there.
“Call when by emergency room,” read one delivery memo to a Dasher last year. “Just had a baby and need to celebrate! 🙌”
What were these proud parents getting delivered to mark the momentous occasion? An ice-cold, six-pack of beer, of course.
Since last Mother’s Day, we’ve received more than double the orders delivered to maternity wards in 2016! Delivery is clearly the thing to do when you’re done bringing that sweet little baby into the world.
That sushi you craved but couldn’t have during pregnancy? One of the most requested items from new moms in L.A. We also saw lots of orders from friends and family who knew that a deep-dish pizza from BJ’s after a long night of labor would be most welcome.
Here’s a rundown of the biggest maternity ward hits of 2017 across the nation:
What were the top 5 most popular places to order from?
- The Cheesecake Factory
- Buffalo Wild Wings
- P.F. Chang’s
- California Pizza Kitchen
- B.J.’s Restaurant & Brewhouse
And topping the list in these cities:
- New York: Momofuku Milk Bar
- Dallas: Famous Sweet Tea from McAlister’s Deli
- Los Angeles: Sushi from Sugarfish
- Chicago: Portillo’s
- Boston: Pizza
- Bay Area: The Cheesecake Factory
And when you’re dashing to the delivery room…some fun #instructions for Dashers from real customers:
“Please wish this family congratulations! These are our dear friends and they just had a baby :)”
“We heard you were hungry. And for Katie, perhaps the cheapest push present ever. Love you so much!”
“Hi, I’m stuck on bed rest in the hospital ☹️ I’m in the labor and delivery cascade wing. Hit red button and say food delivery for Natalie. In room 2108! Thank you so much!”
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at DoorDash!
