What is this any different from using the standard Gopuff app the same way I order to my house?

I wasn't aware of gopuff before, so I'm unsure. It seems that the main benefit could be free delivery even without being a fam member.

Read the following paragraph. Did they do anything like this before?

In a recent survey, Hyatt learned that 60% of travelers have forgotten to pack an item (e.g., toiletries and first aid) for a business or leisure trip*. Leveraging data from the same survey, Hyatt and Gopuff identified the most-often-forgotten and most-likely-to-purchase items and collaborated to create in-app categories such as Travel Essentials, Spa Retreat, Movie Night, Office on the Go, and more, to ensure guests have easy, quick access to the items they need most while traveling.

I use Gopuff occasionally. Their delivery time is insane. I typically receive my order in 20 minutes. Prices are like 7-11, higher than a supermarket, but still bearable. Delivery is usually only a few dollars, but I guess this is still a perk. I've seen interesting categories on their app, not necessarily those specifically though.

Cool. Sounds about right - somewhat novel and possibly beneficial. Definitely would try this if I forget toothpaste again. (Remind me why hotels give shampoo but not toothpaste??)

They can pretend nobody used your shampoo before you, but harder to pull that off with toothpaste

Hotels will give toothbrush and toothpaste upon request.

Mindblown.

Many nicer Hyatt hotels include vanity kits with toothbrush and toothpaste.

I've seen sewing kits, shoe polish etc.

The truth is I should have used this when I had a really bad hangover at the Hyatt Santa Barbara and needed electrolyte drink ugh..

Toothbrush and toothpaste are standard in pretty much any 5 star Asian hotel. Park Hyatt has a large Asian clientele (their reputation in Asia is better because their properties are better there and guests don't know the cheaper Hyatt brand as well to associate it), so they tend to offer it in more cities.

In US/Europe it is hit or miss but 99% will offer it upon request.

I buy my toothpaste at co Bigelow. Marvis is incredible.

With most orders they send me samples which I just toss in my suitcase or backpack and use for travel.

With that said, yes it makes sense to have nice mini toothpaste if you are offering high end soap and shampoo too.

Marvis is incredible.

Interesting. The Rosewood Lon gave it to me, and I thought they were cheaping out on Colgate. Good to know
