    FreshDirect Updates Delivery Service Online grocer is making a play for more last‐minute shoppers with delivery in as little as one hour A taco ‘bundle’ from FreshDirect’s FoodKick, a new on-demand delivery service launching Thursday. PHOTO: FOODKICK By SOPHIA HOLLANDER Jan. 12, 2016 8:00 p.m. ET With competition heating up among food-delivery services in New York City, FreshDirect is making a play for more last-minute shoppers. On Thursday, the online grocer will launch a new service called FoodKick that it said will be able to deliver meals, ingredients and alcohol in as little as an hour after the order has been placed. FoodKick will be available in some Brooklyn neighborhoods and Queens’s Long Island City, with plans to expand to other parts of the city and possibly nationally, the company said. FreshDirect, which began delivering groceries in 2002, has until now required customers to place orders at least a day before delivery. But in interviews with customers it became clear that “the vast majority of the marketplace actually aren’t planners,” said its chief executive, Jason Ackerman. That includes working couples coming home to an empty fridge but tired of takeout, or friends getting together and deciding to stay for dinner. “There are all these food moments that happen spontaneously,” Mr. Ackerman said. “Different generations have different behaviors, so you have to constantly update yourself.” ‘There are all these food moments that happen spontaneously. Different generations have different behaviors, so you have to constantly update yourself.’ —Jason Ackerman, chief executive of FreshDirect The company will offer free FoodKick deliveries for the first 30 days, then $3.99 for delivery within a two-hour or longer window and $5.99 for one-hour delivery.
