DrapShop is a food delivery app specializing in food from Latin America and its rich culinary tradition. After thriving outside the States up to this point, the app recently announced a launch in South Florida.
DrapShop was launched during Hispanic Heritage Month because its creators aspire to contribute “to the Latino dream in the United States.”
Food delivery apps have been around for a minute and have only grown in recent years amid the pandemic. South Florida’s Latino communities now have a chance to prove a unique contribution to the space.
At the launch event for DrapShop there were two startup companies developed by Latinos, focused on supporting small entrepreneurs who were starting their ventures and needed a boost.
Some of the attendees at the event were big influencers and Hispanic celebrities like Yuvanna Montalvo, Juan Carlos García, Claudia Vergara, Andrea Ramírez, Paola Ruiz and César González Cocinero, who welcomed DrapShop because it “pays homage to the Latin talent around food”. according to the press release.
Currently, DrapShop is South Florida and will later cover the entire United States to meet the expectations of millions of Latin Americans.
According to Statista, the revenue of the entire food delivery industry will exceed $300 billion in 2022. Of this, more than 20% is generated in the United States, the country with the second highest production.
A recent study by Deloitte also shows that almost half of people do not believe their online food shopping habits will return to pre-COVID-19 levels.
