Airbnb Will Test Adding Instacart Grocery Delivery to Its App in Services Push

Airbnb Inc. is testing a new service with Instacart that will let guests at some US rentals order groceries through the home-sharing app ahead of and during their stay.

The short-term rental company will offer “kitchen stocking” through a three-month pilot program starting Jan. 5, Airbnb said in an email Wednesday sent to some hosts. During the pilot, Airbnb will pay hosts $25 for every completed order — and a $100 bonus for their first one — if they receive guests’ pre-orders and put them away before they check in, according to a copy of the email viewed by Bloomberg News.
