Consumers are accustomed to placing a call to order take-out food and, in some cases, carbonated soft drinks for home delivery. Now, they’re increasingly doing the same for beer, wine and spirits. However, instead of calling around to find a liquor store that will deliver, apps like Minibar automatically connect consumers of legal drinking age with local liquor stores that can deliver alcohol in an hour or less.
“We live in a world where virtually everything is available at your fingertips,” says Lara Crystal, co-founder of Minibar. “Making alcohol just as easy to order to your home is extremely convenient, especially for those busy, on-the-go professionals who may not have time to run errands.”
