## Instacart and Provi strike a partnership
Instacart has partnered with business-to-business alcohol marketplace Provi to offer same-day delivery of nonalcoholic items to restaurants and bars.
## What will be delivered
The service will deliver items including mixers and paper products from grocery stores when ordered through Provi's website and app. Alcohol itself will not be included.
## Solving last-minute shortages
Instacart and Provi aim to provide rapid delivery on items restaurants and bars need urgently, such as extra limes for margaritas and napkins for special events.

> What we are trying to solve for is that last-minute out-of-stock.
## Why this matters for bars
Garnishes and other supplies are key to selling high-margin drinks. Without them, bars cannot sell some of their most profitable products, Provi CEO Matthew Tucker said.

> If you don't have the garnishes, you aren't able to sell some of your highest-margin products.
## Labor shortages drive the need
Restaurants are dealing with labor shortages from immigration raids, leaving many establishments with fewer staff to make quick grocery runs to keep bars stocked.
## Timing and expansion
This is Provi's first time selling nonalcoholic items. The partnership launches during peak season, as weeks before Thanksgiving and Christmas see the most customer engagement.
## Key takeaway

Instacart and Provi launched same-day delivery of nonalcoholic bar and restaurant supplies to solve last-minute shortages of items like garnishes and napkins.
