As <a href="https://1851franchise.com/third-party-delivery-apps-continue-to-take-over-the-game-2710464" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">third party delivery apps battle for popularity</a>, the food delivery space is continuing to experience <a href="https://1851franchise.com/when-it-comes-to-third-party-delivery-apps-and-restaurants-it-s-relationship-status-it-s-complicated--2709390" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">extreme competition</a>, with companies unveiling new and improved features every day.&nbsp;

The newest innovation appears to be <a href="https://corporate.seamless.com/group-ordering/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">group ordering</a>&mdash;a system in which multiple parties can place and add to a single order from their individual devices. Ordering food for a group can be a headache and third party aggregators are one-upping each other in an attempt to streamline the process.&nbsp;

While Postmates is the most <a href="https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/postmates-follows-rivals-leads-with-group-ordering-feature/561824/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">recent to release the group ordering feature</a>, GrubHub jumped on the train earlier this year, launching <a href="https://work.grubhub.com/info/cafeteria/?source=EOI&amp%3Btype=u&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">GrubHub for Work</a>, a scheduled group ordering system for co-workers looking to feed the office. For those who hate the stress of splitting the tab, GrubHub for Work allows users to pay separately, labeling each meal with the orderer&rsquo;s name.

DoorDash claims to be the first to have offered the service, adding group ordering all the way back in 2017. Last year, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/uber-eats-adds-dine-in-option-2710442" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Uber Eats</a> tested a similar service, <a href="https://bgr.com/2018/12/10/uber-eats-pool-cheap-delivery-option-coming/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Uber Pool Eats</a>, enabling multiple orders from the same restaurant to be delivered to users who live in the same neighborhood.&nbsp;

Some of Postmate&rsquo;s other digital ordering concepts include <a href="https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/postmates-rolls-out-free-group-delivery-feature/550994/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Postmates Party</a>, an <a href="https://postmates.com/party?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">ingenious feature that allows users to receive free delivery</a> if they order from restaurants where another user has already placed an order near their location. This is not only a bid to lure consumers with a waived delivery fee, but an attempt to cut back on travel times for busy delivery drivers&mdash;although some users claim the <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/postmates-new-party-option-free-delivery?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">opposite might be true</a> for the customers.

While <a href="https://1851franchise.com/warning-restaurant-owners-third-party-delivery-services-are-taking-over-2710756" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">not all restaurants and food service franchisors are thrilled about third-party delivery</a>, it is clear that the trend isn&rsquo;t going anywhere. With <a href="https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/digital-restaurant-ordering-expected-to-triple-by-2020/547644/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=car-pool-for-your-lunch-postmates-launches-group-ordering-feature-2710875" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">digital ordering set to triple by 2020</a>, delivery apps will have plenty of opportunities to compete for the group ordering business of hungry office parties or family get-togethers.
