The problem is discovery, since every consumer is already using apps like Uber eats.

Depends where you live. Here in rural UK Uber etc. aren’t present so local shops and pubs are doing a good trade in takeaways and supplying meat/groceries so this would be useful for them

It looks like this could be used by any industry, example a hardware store or toy store. While listening to a podcast, I heard about a toy store that was doing more business now than before COVID and self-isolation.

One plausible explanation: parents desperately needing to keep kids entertained at home so they can work.
Most likely it’s multiple causes, but that’s one of several that comes to mind.
