# Friend Group Food Deliveries Postmates Group Ordering Lets Friends Order Separately from One Cart By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-08-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postmates-group-ordering References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/order-in-with-friends-introducing-group-ordering-on-postmates-300907085.html) & [postmates](http://www.postmates.com/) Postmates Group Ordering is a new feature from the popular on-demand food delivery app that makes it easy for a group of people to place an order from their own phones and send their items to a single cart for processing. This feature is specifically useful for gatherings of friends and family who want to order their own favorites yet experience a simplified food-ordering process that doesn't involve multiple people crowding around one tiny mobile device screen. With this new feature, all orders are placed at the same time and conveniently delivered by one Postmate. Earlier this year, Postmates unveiled Postmates Party to let users choose to have their food delivered as part of a batch of orders in a small area at a discounted rate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Group Ordering:** New features in on-demand delivery apps encouraging group ordering can increase convenience for users. - **Separate Ordering:** Separate ordering for a group through a single cart can lead to more customization options for individual users. - **Discounted Batches:** Discounted rates on batches of group orders can incentivize more frequent and larger orders. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Delivery:** Food delivery apps can continue to innovate with group ordering features, creating a more accessible and simplified ordering experience for customers. - **Technology:** Technology for group ordering can be integrated into other industries to create a more cohesive and efficient experience for multiple users. - **Hospitality:** Hotel or travel services can incorporate group ordering features for larger parties to simplify the ordering and delivery of food and other services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multiple Store Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grubhub-multistore-ordering.md) - [Bill-Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splitparty.md) - [Group Dining Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-to-eat.md) - [Swipe-Based Restaurant Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-eats.md) - [Multi-Restaurant Delivery Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinks-with-doubledash.md) - [Integrated Bill Splitting Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-splitting-features.md) - [LDA Gen Z-Focused Delivery Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/app-for-party-hosts.md) - [On-Demand Organic Kids Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erewhon-kids-meal.md) - [Small-Scale Restaurant Catering Options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-buildyourown.md)
