Glovo users can see what’s cooking at nearby restaurants and add their favourites to their cart directly from the video.
Spain-based multi-category delivery firm Glovo has updated its mobile app to include new social features and a video discovery wall.
Users can now connect with friends, share their top food picks, and discover new places together. They can see where their friends are ordering from and find hidden gems in their area.
It is also possible to save favourite restaurants and dishes with just a tap, creating personalised lists like “weekday dinners” or “office lunches.” People will also soon be able to share their curated picks with friends and family.
The video discovery wall enables the exploration of dishes through dynamic, full screen videos that aim to bring food to life. Users can see what’s cooking at nearby restaurants and add their favourites to their cart directly from the video.
The updates are currently only available in Madrid and Barcelona, but will be rolling out to other places in the near future.
Daniel Alonso, Chief Product Officer at Glovo, said, “We’re going beyond the norm by becoming the first in the industry to combine social media elements within our platform. We’re excited to present this new and interactive way for users to discover, share, and engage with the products offered in our app. Users will be able to enjoy their favourite products like never before.”
