Next up for Amazon Prime: one-hour restaurant delivery.
Amazon Tuesday announced that Prime members in Manhattan can order free delivery from more than 350 local restaurants through the Prime Now app and website.
After placing the order, customers will be able to track the status of their delivery in real time, and can expect their food in an hour or less.
