JSS Serves Up Community Focused, Sustainable Delivery

Since 2011, JSS has been committed to using delivery services to make life easier for the foreign community in China, delivering both international restaurant meals and groceries to a wide range of addresses across Beijing. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has only underscored how lucky we are to be able to have food delivered to our doors, especially when that delivery comes courtesy of a company dedicated to engaging with and supporting its local community. Throughout the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak in Beijing, when uncertainty was rife and we were all stuck at home, JSS’s scooters stayed on the road, not only ensuring that deliveries were hygiene compliant, but even reducing delivery fees. Now, with a website, app, and WeChat mini-program, ordering from JSS is easier than ever. 

JSS is the only English-based delivery company to offer both restaurant and grocery delivery. Getting the home comforts you crave can be tricky if you don’t live near an import store or if you don’t read enough Chinese to use Taobao, and international groceries can be a must for those with restrictive diets or even just those of us who take pride in cooking.  

Fresh fruit and veg delivered to your door - and no plastic in sight!

Need some drinks to go with dinner? JSS’s self-operated drinks delivery service offers everything from soft drinks to beer to Old and New World wines, from international brands like Perrier, Erdinger, Vedett, and even Beijing’s very own Great Leap Brewing. 

Even as far back as the year 2019 PC (pre-COVID), we all knew that we should be cutting back on single-use plastics, especially the kind that starts stacking up when you order takeout regularly. As the New York Times reported last year, studies have estimated that online takeout in China was responsible for 1.6 million tons of packaging waste in 2017, and the plastic problem is only getting bigger as a result of COVID-19, as people use and discard single-use gloves, masks, and more.

Wherever possible, JSS deliveries come in biodegradable packaging

When you order from JSS, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you are doing your bit to cut down on excess waste. Having listened to feedback from customers, the company is doing its best to maintain the highest sustainable delivery standards possible. All restaurant deliveries come in biodegradable boxes with paper bags, and groceries are delivered in fabric bags, which can be returned to JSS so they can be reused (after careful sterlization, of course). Do you hate it when your fruit and veg delivery comes wrapped in random plastic (bananas have their own natural wrappers!)? Us too! Luckily, the only plastics used by JSS are to wrap grocery-delivered meat and fish, which is required by law.
