I remember in 2021 or so there was a startup doing 20 minute grocery delivery in SF, $50 off on your first order.

I got some really nice steaks for free and the delivery actually arrived via motorbike in 10 minutes. They must have had delivery drivers waiting with their own inventory or something. Anyways, the VC funding dried up and the company was gone a few months later.

Getir was doing 20 mins grocery delivery in most European capitals.

Interestingly, one way they get the delivery time down is they pack the items into the motorbike when you add them to the basket, not when you checkout.

If you remove an item from the basket and checkout, the motorbike will often arrive with the removed item (and take it back again).

		that was ~20 years earlier but was so awesome when it was around. That and webvan were better (for customers, not for making money) than anything that existed until 2020.
