Late Night Taco Delivery Thanks To Lyft

in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

Taco Bell is going to be partnering with Lyft in order to deliver their goods to customers.

The campaign has been referred to as Taco Mode and it allows the riders associated with the Lyft program to add the option of Taco Bell delivery to their service.

The joint venture is looking to create an ultimate Taco Bell experience by offering customers a special in-car menu, free food giveaways, and more.

It's alleged that for those who are already frequent Lyft riders, that they are known to commonly ask for a “Taco Bell pit stop” on their way to wherever they are going; the restaurant wanted to capitalize on the opportunity. How many people might want tacos but could be too afraid to ask? Now Taco Bell and Lyft are going to make it easy for them.

A nationwide Taco Mode operation is expected to be unveiled by some time next year.

The Taco Mode option with the Lyft app is going to include promotions like free Doritos Los Tacos whenever a customer is on the way to their next Lyft destination. They are going to start testing the partnership in just a couple of days.

They will be experimenting with the taco deliveries in the Orange County area and the service will be available between 9pm and 2am. It's expected, if everything goes well, that additional locations will see the same testing by the end of the year.

Not The Only One. .

Lyft isn't the only one making such a partnership, as McDonald's has also been working with their competitors--Uber--in order to get their food delivered to people as well. Customers are already able to access McDonald's delivery by ordering through the UberEATS app.

The UberEats and McDonald's partnership is already underway with roughly 1,000 locations taking part in the operations. There are venues taking part that are located in California, Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio.

Lyft continues to see tremendous success and has grown to the point of offering over 1 million rides every day. However, Uber is still a much larger operation than Lyft, providing billions of rides in the market.

I definitely crave whataburger and Taco Bell when it is after 1am! This is only enabling me! Fine by me!

Oh man, you just had to go and mention whataburger! There were my favorite fast food when I lived in Oklahoma. There are no franchises where I live now!

it sounds like you need to open one up! What state are you in now?

Thank you for sharing, this is very interesting to know!

The best tacos are my boyfriend's home made one hahah! Fortunately I have him because we don't have any Taco Bell here ;)

Oh boy! We go from fast food to the drive up window to a uber golden arch or taco bell experience. How about to our front door of where I live? I will just leae the door unlocked put it on the bed stand. We could have it delivered to the movie house or to the gym after the workout. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for sharing.

Bye bye munchies

lol!

Pls tell me how to join group i need follower help i already voted u would u like to vote me back ty and follow me :( pls iam really poor

The delicious taste of Capitalism!

It will probably reduce drunk driving half the people you see at drive thru at 1 am are drunk.

I totally agree!!

That is awesome! I have used PostMates before...which is the same concept. But, it tends to be in bigger cities. I hope this makes it out to the burbs so I can get some taco bell.

I feel really bad that in India we do not have taco bell. But I have eaten taco at dominos' and other food courts but taco bell seems the king of the taco. I will be waiting for it to come to india so that I can satisfy my craving with Taco.

dominos sells tacos? lol didn't know that!

Yup buddy.

I just need to plan on buying some bigger pants once this goes into affect in my area, I'm a sucker for late night taco bell

hahaha!!

Oh man - I do not need this temptation. I hit up taco bell enough after a night with some beverages. Now they are going to put it right in my face as an option. Bastards! lol ;-)

free dorito tacos! lol how can one resist?

This is an interesting partnership. I hadn't heard of this before. It makes sense though, these drivers are already out and about when accepting clients. I'd be curious to know how well the payout is in comparison to their regular fare, at least on a pay per time spent perspective.

McDonald's has also been working with their competitors

If I were the driver, it would be so hard not to sneak a few McDee fries.

Interesting because I thought Taco Bell already partnered with DoorDash.

Beautiful photo and powerful message all in one post!! I'll never get used to not seeing the twin towers though...
Thank for sharing

Is this the real picture of Taco? If it is then it is yummm.

It seems like a great way to distribute taco bell products to people.
People use services like Lyft every day and most of them may be peckish for a snack.
Let's see if Uber incorporates this

Hell yeah gotta love taco bell
