What is Nabo? ('Nay- bō ')
Nabo is a delivery platform that seamlessly connects neighbors who want to place an order from their favorite grocery stores with neighbors who are already shopping at those stores.
How does Nabo Work?
Neighbors can go to the Nabo app, search for their favorite stores and place an order. This order will then be available to all the neighbors who are already shopping at that store or planning to go to that store to shop.
They can view all available orders, accept them, shop for the items, pay for the order using their card and finally deliver it to their neighbor. The shopper is also required to upload the store receipt and leave the receipt with the order.
Nabo will then reimburse the shopper and pay them any tips they earned for the delivery using the payment method they chose while signing up for shopping (Available methods are Zelle and Cashapp)
