Wakozi.com - Manhattan Booze Delivery

We’ve probably all had parties or been to parties that die out because the booze runs out and have wished at that crucial moment that there was a way to acquire another bottle or two. Manhattan is already famous for delivering practically anything to your door and now there is a site that works with local suppliers of alcohol to bring you your fix at all hours. Wakozi is a portal that allows stores who offer delivery to be included in their search engine. Simply enter your zip code, address and apartment number into the search engine, and Wakozi spits out a list of stores that will deliver your favorite drink right to your door.

“Through our site, you can order virtually anything that you would find in a bodega, deli or wine shop and get it delivered to you in less than an hour. So if you want a bottle of Chardonnay or a six-pack late at night or if you’re partying with friends and need another bottle of Belvedere, you can now get it without leaving your apartment.”

Manhattan has a high enough population density and level of affluence to make a system like this work. Wakozi has also intelligently decided not to take care of the delivery themselves which would have meant an extra layer of bureaucracy and longer wait times. This service should be a hit with New Yorkers.

Will they expand their focus to other areas to allow customers to order all of the party goods from the same place? They say that they don’t charge for this service, so how do they plan on making money?
