Our verdict on Picnic
Picnic brings supermarket shopping to a mobile app for people who want groceries delivered on a planned schedule. Shoppers can browse produce, bakery items, meat, fish, household goods and other groceries, then select an available delivery time. The service is designed around routine grocery orders rather than rapid delivery: it does not offer pickup or same-day delivery. Availability depends on the delivery area, which customers can check by entering an address. Picnic describes its delivery fleet as electric vehicles.
The app’s delivery tools and grocery features suit shoppers who want to know when an order is arriving and plan what to buy. Delivery tracking includes a live view of the runner’s location. Recipe browsing gives shoppers another way to build a basket, with recipe ingredients addable directly to it. During delivery, customers can return deposit bottles, bags, batteries and CO2 cylinders. These features make Picnic more than a basic ordering interface, while its focus remains a supermarket-style basket rather than quick, small orders.
Picnic is described as free to use, but groceries are bought per order, so this is not a conventional free software plan. There is no subscription requirement listed on the homepage; delivery availability and minimum basket amounts vary by market and address. Support is available by email and phone, but not around the clock. Choose Picnic if scheduled home delivery, in-app tracking and recipe-based shopping fit your routine and the service covers your address. Look elsewhere if you need pickup, same-day or rapid delivery, or a service that operates outside selected areas.
