As summer rolls around in the Hamptons, the wealthy vacationers are turning to DoorDash for their convenience needs. According to Alanna Shipley, a Consumer Insights Expert at DoorDash, there has been an uptick in orders for rosé this summer. But, what is surprising is the increase in orders for laptop accessories such as wireless mouse and keyboards. Could this be a sign of Hampton-goers embracing the concept of “quiet vacationing” and taking advantage of flexible work options? It seems that DoorDash is helping consumers strike a balance between work and play during their summer “workations.”
In addition to computer accessories, there has been a surge in orders for beauty staples like eyeliner, concealer, brow gel, and self-tanning products. Could this be a reflection of the desire to look good while lounging by the pool? On the other hand, partying hard seems to be a prevalent theme as DoorDash reports a 290% rise in alcohol purchases. Vodka and tequila are the top spirits of choice, with wine orders also experiencing a significant increase. It seems that the Hamptons crowd knows how to enjoy their summer nights with a drink in hand.
Despite the lack of major fast-food chains in the Hamptons, DoorDash has observed a 118% spike in late-night orders between 9 pm and 4 am. Fries, nuggets, and chicken sandwiches are popular choices for those looking for a midnight snack. Furthermore, New Yorkers remain true to their roots even on vacation, with the classic BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) being the most ordered breakfast item in the Hamptons. Hash browns and bagels with cream cheese follow closely behind. While Brekkie Bagels is available on DoorDash, locals still flock to The Original Goldberg’s Famous Bagels for that authentic experience.
DoorDash provides a window into the preferences and lifestyles of Hamptons vacationers. From rosé and remote work to beauty products and booze, it seems that the leisure class is living it up in style. Late-night munchies and classic breakfast staples further paint a picture of a community that knows how to work hard and play even harder during their summer escapades. With DoorDash at their fingertips, the Hamptons crowd can indulge in their cravings without ever leaving the comfort of their luxurious homes. Cheers to a summer of decadence and indulgence in the Hamptons!
