Overview
Palette Labs runs Nosh Delivery through the NOSH protocol, a decentralized food-delivery network that connects restaurants, drivers, and consumers. Its product lets restaurants own a stake in the marketplace, which lowers fees and gives them more control over how deliveries are run, while drivers earn rewards through network ownership for active participation. Consumers get cheaper and more reliable delivery. The NOSH protocol handles transactions among all participants, and revenue comes from service fees that are lower thanks to the decentralized model. The company differentiates itself from incumbents like Uber Eats and DoorDash by sharing ownership with restaurants and drivers, creating a community-owned marketplace. Palette Labs’ goal is to reduce costs, improve service quality, and scale the decentralized network to benefit all parties in the delivery ecosystem.
