Airbnb's testing a 'kitchen stocking' service that lets guests place Instacart orders before their stay
Airbnb offers hosts $25 per completed grocery order and a $100 bonus for the first order in a three-month pilot with Instacart to improve guest convenience.
- Airbnb is launching a pilot with Instacart on January 5, allowing grocery orders through the Airbnb app during a three-month test.
- Following Airbnb Services' May launch, CEO Brian Chesky said Services could add $1 billion or more in annual revenue, framing the Instacart pilot as part of growth efforts.
- Hosts receive $25 per completed order and a $100 bonus for their first completed order if they tuck groceries away before check-in; guests can place orders up to three weeks before their stay in Phoenix, Orlando, and Los Angeles.
- A spokesperson for Airbnb said the company regularly tests updates and the grocery feature lets customers prepare for events ahead of stays, while Instacart did not immediately return a request for comment.
- The move continues Airbnb's pattern of host incentives, following last year's ChargePoint partnership, while observers noted the grocery option meets holiday and event demand.
