Get Funded: Making the Ultimate Delivery Service Pitch

Issue

According to a recent study, around 30% of people order food delivery at least once a week. Despite growing demand, the delivery industry is still plagued with problems, with food often arriving late, cold or damaged. This not only negatively impacts the customer experience, but also damages the reputation of the restaurant and the delivery service.

Let us tell you a story about John. John had a busy day at work and decided to order his favorite food from a nearby restaurant using a delivery service. He was delighted to relax and enjoy his meal, but unfortunately the food arrived cold, soggy and almost inedible. John was extremely disappointed and frustrated with the delivery service, and decided he would not order from this restaurant again.

This issue not only affects John, but thousands of other customers every day. It becomes more difficult to keep these loyal customers if they do not receive reliable and satisfactory delivery service from popular food delivery apps.

There are various reasons why this problem exists. First, there is a lack of reliable and efficient transport infrastructure, which can lead to delays in deliveries. Second, there is a shortage of experienced and qualified delivery drivers, which can also lead to late deliveries and customer dissatisfaction.

Additionally, some of the current industry-implemented solutions, such as automatic algorithms for routing and pacing, do not provide the necessary real-time accuracy and precision. This results in missed delivery windows and food arriving too early or too late.

• The problem is the late, cold and damaged arrival of food when ordered online for delivery.
• The issue is highly relevant given the rise of food delivery services and the growing number of people ordering food delivery.
• Current solutions implemented by the industry, such as algorithms for routing and pacing, have not proven to be accurate in real time.
• The problem is caused by a lack of reliable transport infrastructure, as well as a shortage of experienced and qualified drivers.

Competition

Our main competitors in the delivery services market include Uber eats, Doordash, Grubhub, Postmates , and Instacart . These companies have established a strong brand presence and gained significant market share in the industry.

Uber eats and Doordash Offer food delivery services to restaurants and have a user-friendly app interface. However, they have limited options in terms of grocery delivery and retail.

Grubhub is known for its wide range of restaurant options and seamless ordering process. However, they don’t offer as many delivery options for other types of goods.

Postmates offers delivery services for everything from food to retail and grocery items. However, their prices may be higher than competitors, which could deter cost-conscious customers.

Instacart is a grocery and retail delivery service that offers an intuitive app interface and fast delivery times. However, their services are limited to certain geographic regions.

What sets us apart from our competitors is our focus on sustainability, local sourcing and personalized customer service .
