According to reports this morning, media confirmed that Douyin has started experimenting with an instant delivery service for food. Similar to other food delivery apps, users select items to be delivered, fill in the address and pay for the order to have the food delivered to their home.

According to the latest news from @thepaper.cn, a person in charge of Douyin life service responded:Douyin Life Service is carrying out activities to help merchants recover in some cities. Considering the actual needs of merchants and users, and in order to better guarantee user experience and help economic recovery, the platform is trying to open the delivery service of group purchase products for some merchants with urgent needs. At present, this project is still in the exploratory stage.

For now, tiktok is merely providing a service platform,They don't have their own delivery team yet,Businesses need to contact third-party platforms for distribution, such as flash delivery, dada, etc.
