As a full-service shopper at Instacart, you will play a vital role in bridging the gap between customers and their favorite groceries by handling both the shopping and delivery process. The company leverages a user-friendly Shopper app through which shoppers receive orders, shop for products at local stores, and then deliver these orders directly to customers' doorsteps. This flexible role offers the opportunity to earn money quickly, work on a flexible schedule, and contribute to making food more accessible for everyone.

With weekly pay, the option for instant cashout, and the potential to earn tips and special earning promotions, Instacart full-service shoppers can enjoy both financial benefits and scheduling freedom. This role requires consistent access to a vehicle and a recent smartphone to perform shopping and delivery duties efficiently. Notably, individuals aged 18 and over are eligible to apply, with a higher age requirement for alcohol delivery. Instacart also adheres to applicable Fair Chance ordinances in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, ensuring fair hiring practices for all potential shoppers.
