San Francisco-based Instacart today announced it will bring on 300,000 shoppers for its grocery delivery platform over the next three months. The move is meant to manage an uptick in demand due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. 

The platform lets users shop from well-known grocery stores like Costco, Safeway, Krogers and more from home. Once an order is submitted, a designated grocery shopper will pick up the items and deliver it home.
