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.

Most likely it’s multiple causes, but that’s one of several that comes to mind.

Yeah, you're gonna need to find it on the business's own website, "Joe's Produce delivers with YandApp" or whatever.
