Delivery has become a necessary service during the pandemic, one that customers have come to appreciate and rely on. Finding qualified and professional drivers, though, can be a challenge. Richie Schwartz of Pets Photography Studio in Hempstead, NY, made this suggestion in the PETS+ Facebook Community: “Join a couple of local Uber/Lyft Facebook groups and advertise there.
