The Glovo app allows users to choose from a multitude of delivery options including food, grocery items, pharmacy and beauty, and gifts. Users can enter their location and then browse through a multitude of nearby businesses and use filters to find what they are looking for. They can then select the wanted items and check out, while Glovo sends a delivery person with the items. Glovo is available in over 20 different countries and over 790 different cities.
