WEBVTT - 4 Apps to Deliver the Perfect Valentine’s Day

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Rich DeMuro here Rich on Tech telling you about several

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>apps that can help you plan the perfect Valentine's Day.

0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Most of these apps are on demand. Let's start with Zeal.

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>This is an on demand massage app. They will bring

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:17.119
<v Speaker 1>the spa to your house. Literally, you tap a few

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>things on the app, you say what you want, and

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>next thing you know, you'll have a licensed massage therapist

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>at your door. And you can even do a couple's

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>massage with them. So they will bring two therapists. They

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>bring everything you need, They set up a bed. You

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>have to find a place in your house where you

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>can fit this, especially if you're gonna do the couple's massage.

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>But I've done this before. It's really cool. I'm not

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>a massage person, but you know, my wife loves to

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>get these things, so you know, I play along and

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not bad. It's kind of cool. It's in your house,

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to leave. The only thing you do

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>need to know you have to supply a fresh set

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of sheets, so you do need a sheet for their

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>bed and then of course a top sheet as well.

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>So again that one is called Zeal and they will

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>bring the massage to you. Now, if you need some wine,

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe some wine, a nice bottle of champagne, whatever it is,

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you can check out the alcohol delivery app Drizzly. They

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>have a selection over fifteen hundred products, including wine, beer,

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and spirits. You can pay and tip from inside the app,

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>so I know a lot of people don't carry around

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 1>cash anymore. You can tip right from inside and basically

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.559
<v Speaker 1>the order is delivered to your door in about an hour,

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and this all comes from participating local businesses. Again, you

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>have to be twenty one to use this app. You

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>know that though it's called Drizzly and it's an alcohol

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 1>delivery app. I've seen my friends use this at a

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 1>poker game I was at, so that was pretty cool.

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I have not used this one myself at home, but

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>we did test out a delivery to the station and

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty cool. They were here at the exact

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>time they said they would be all right. Moving on. Now,

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you need some flowers, how about a website called The

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Book's Company. The Books Company has some really fresh flowers

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>and the reason why their flowers are so fresh is

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>because they ship them directly from the farm. So yes,

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>your flowers come right from places like South America, Ecuador

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's it. They cut them there and then they

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>put them in a box and they send them to you.

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 1>So we visited their facility in Marina del Rey and

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>it's very nice, best smelling place I've ever been in.

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>They say, if you take care of your bouquet, it

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>can last weeks instead of days. I was able to

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>keep the bouquet that they gave me just over a week,

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>and they told me three ways to keep your flowers fresh.

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Number one, you got to snip the ends on a

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>slant like, kind of on an angle, not straight, and

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that helps them drink water. The second thing is that

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you want to change that water every single day. And

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the third thing is definitely used just a little drop

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>of food or maybe a tiny drop of bleach, or

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.679
<v Speaker 1>even vodka. You can put a little tiny drop of

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>vodka in there, and all three of those things will

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>help to cut down on bacteria. And that's really what's

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>killing those flowers that are in that vase. So check

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>out the books Very Cool Fresh Stuff. If you want

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to try them out, use my code rich on Tech

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen percent off your order, whether you're a new

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>customer or an existing customer. So thanks to Books for

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>setting that up. All right. Finally, one more thing to

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>try out door dash dot com. Door dash is a

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>food delivery service, and I know there's a million of

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 1>these out there. What's cool about DoorDash is a couple

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>of things They have like pretty much every restaurant you

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>could ever imagine signed up with them. And also, you

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>can filter your restaurant results by the lowest delivery fee,

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>so that's kind of a neat way to find Let's

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>say you don't want to pay any sort of delivery fee,

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you can sort them by that delivery fee and see

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>which ones are delivering for free. And sometimes restaurants do that.

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes a're on special they'll do that as well. And

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>if you want to save some cash, of course go

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>with a low delivery fee, But if you want to

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>go with top rated restaurants, you can go and sort

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>that way as while some of the other services out

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>there don't let you sort the restaurants as easily as DoorDash.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's what we like about them. We interview the

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>CEO and co founder of DoorDash, nice guy, and just

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>basically said that you know, consumers want to save money,

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>they want to, you know, have us do the delivery

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>for them. And it's also a good way for restaurants

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that don't normally do their own delivery to kind of

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>outsource their delivery to a third party, and DoorDash and

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>all these other companies make that possible. So I loved

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>when I ordered from DoorDash how they gave me the

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.559
<v Speaker 1>exact moment the person would ring my doorbell and no joke,

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that's the exact time they rang my doorbell. Now, I'm

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>sure that was just pretty random, but that's they say

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>their technology does. All Right, there you have it, four

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>ways to deliver the perfect Valentine's Day through apps. If

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.800
