In this episode of "Get Paid for Your Pad," I welcomed Connor Paton, CEO and founder of Noshable, to discuss his innovative company that's enhancing the Airbnb experience. Noshable's service allows guests to pre-order groceries and have them ready in their Airbnb rental upon arrival. This service tackles a common inconvenience for travelers: arriving at a rental with no basic necessities like food and water.

Connor shared the journey behind Noshable. The idea stemmed from personal experiences of inconvenience when arriving at unfamiliar destinations and the time-consuming process of grocery shopping. This led to the development of a platform where guests could effortlessly have their groceries delivered and stocked before they arrive. Connor’s background in property management and prop tech, including his time at Realpha, played a crucial role in realizing the need for such a service.

The process with Noshable is integrated into the Airbnb booking experience. Guests receive a link to pre-order groceries from a selection of over 20 major retail grocery stores, with the ability to order up to a year in advance. This integration ensures a seamless and hassle-free experience for both guests and property managers.

Noshable is in its early stages, having recently completed beta testing in several states. Connor discussed the technical and operational aspects of Noshable, including their focus on standardizing operations to ensure consistency across locations. The company aims to expand to more areas, currently active in markets with Walmart, Kroger, and affiliate stores.

For property managers, Noshable presents a cost-effective and potentially profitable solution. The platform is free for property managers, with a share of the markup on groceries and the ability to set their own delivery fees. This model provides an additional revenue stream and enhances service offerings.

Connor emphasized the importance of removing friction in hospitality, drawing inspiration from companies like Disney. Noshable’s service addresses the basic needs of food and accommodation, enhancing the vacation experience from the moment guests arrive.

Further discussing future developments, Connor mentioned plans to integrate with property management systems, introduce an AI shopper for efficient grocery ordering, facilitate group orders, and expand to restaurant partnerships for dining experiences. These features aim to streamline the ordering process and expand the scope of services offered by Noshable.

For more information, Connor directed listeners to the Noshable website, shopnoshable.com, and offered his contact for inquiries and collaborations via email (connor@shopnoshable.com) or LinkedIn.
