Seed your success: Elevate your retail store with a

Issue

Imagine you are a wine enthusiast who likes to try new varieties of red, white and sparkling wine. After a tiring day at work, you want to relax in the comfort of your home and sip a glass of your favorite vintage. However, you realize that you have enough wine left in your storage. To restock, you need to head to the nearest liquor store or wait until the next day to place an order online.

This drawback is not only frustrating but also leads to lost opportunities. With limited delivery options and no dedicated app or platform that caters to alcoholic beverages, you have to make do with what’s available. Additionally, with the ongoing pandemic, a significant portion of the population is staying indoors, further impairing their chances of acquiring alcohol.

Therefore, the problem we want to solve is: Inconvenient access to alcohol for those unable or unwilling to leave their homes. Limited delivery options for beer and liquor. Inability to increase alcohol intake without leaving home.

The issue is relevant because there are millions of people consuming alcohol around the world, and the pandemic has further increased the demand for home delivery services of all types. As people seek convenience and ease of use when shopping, we see an opportunity to fill a gap in the market.

Currently, there are various delivery services available, including food and grocery delivery, but none caters solely to alcohol delivery. Although some liquor stores offer delivery options for their products, there is no dedicated app or website platform to access these services. This leads to inferior customer experience and missed revenue opportunities.

The problem exists because the technological resources to develop a full-fledged liquor delivery service are not readily available and require upfront investment, supply chain management, and compliance hurdles.
