Costco expands delivery options for custom cakes and party platters

Costco has expanded its digital and delivery offerings in the United States by allowing customers to order custom bakery and deli items online. Through a partnership with Instacart and the use of FoodStorm order management technology, members can now have made-to-order items delivered directly to their homes.

The new delivery options include 10-inch round cakes, custom half-sheet cakes, sandwich platters, shrimp trays, and fruit platters. Customers can fully customize cakes online by selecting flavors, designs, and adding personalized messages of up to 30 characters.

To ensure quality, custom cake orders require at least 72 hours of advance notice. This update replaces a previous system that required customers to visit a warehouse in person to fill out paper order forms.
