As a full-service shopper with Instacart, individuals play a vital role in making food accessible to everyone, supporting busy lifestyles, and enhancing convenience through flexible and efficient service.

This position is perfect for those looking for flexible work options, including seasonal or entry-level opportunities, allowing shoppers to control their schedules and earn income on their terms.

The role of a full-service shopper involves receiving orders through Instacart's Shopper app, shopping for the items from local stores, and delivering them to customers including special deliveries such as alcoholic beverages where applicable. This position values independence, responsibility, and customer service skills. Shoppers must have consistent access to a vehicle and a smartphone to accept batches, navigate stores efficiently, and complete deliveries promptly.

Instacart values contractors with a strong work ethic who can deliver excellent customer experiences consistently. The role demands attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to efficiently manage time while shopping and delivering. The company provides support and resources to help shoppers maximize earnings and customer satisfaction.

Instacart also adheres to Fair Chance ordinances in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, ensuring equal opportunities for individuals with diverse backgrounds. Shoppers must meet basic eligibility and vehicle access requirements, including being 18 years or older (21+ to deliver alcohol), legal eligibility to work in the U.S., and possession of a recent smartphone. This job can serve as a home-based, temporary, or permanent opportunity and is particularly suited for those who appreciate the gig economy's flexibility.
