Issue

Imagine you’re a busy professional, working long hours a day, and coming home exhausted without the energy or time to cook a good meal.

It’s frustrating, disappointing, and makes you feel like you’ve wasted your hard-earned money.

It is a problem that millions of people around the world face every day. With Covid-19 restrictions in place, people are turning to food delivery services more than ever. However, current solutions on the market do not consistently meet consumer expectations, leading to unsatisfactory experiences.

Consumers have to rely on unreliable and shoddy food delivery services, and that is not acceptable. With people’s schedules becoming even more hectic and with social distancing in place, food delivery has gone from a luxury to a necessity. There is a growing need for a solution that can provide consumers with fresh, hot and delicious food.

A solution to this problem could revolutionize the food delivery industry and provide people with the convenience they need without compromising on quality.

business model

Our food delivery business operates on a commission-based model, partnering with local restaurants to offer their menu items on our platform. Customers place their orders through our website or mobile app, and we process the payment and relay the order to the restaurant. We then coordinate with independent drivers to deliver the food to the customer’s location.

We charge customers a delivery fee, which varies depending on the distance between the restaurant and the customer’s location. We also charge commission fees to our restaurant partners, which is a percentage of the total order value. Through these fees, we generate revenue for the company.

The total amount of revenue generated will depend on the volume of orders and the commission percentage charged to our catering partners. We plan to generate million in revenue for the first year of operation.

The main product that generates revenue for our business is food delivery. Additionally, we offer customers the option of purchasing gift cards, which also generate revenue for the business.

Our business strategy is to partner with a variety of restaurants, ranging from small mom-and-pop stores to large chains, to provide customers with a diverse selection of cuisines. We also plan to target specific customer segments, such as office workers and families, to provide convenient and affordable meal options. Additionally, we leverage data analytics to optimize our delivery routes and reduce delivery times, improving the overall customer experience.

As we grow, we plan to expand our product offerings to include delivery of groceries and household items, further increasing our revenue streams. We also plan to explore partnership opportunities with other businesses, such as event planners or catering companies, to expand our customer base and drive revenue growth.

Competition

In the food delivery market, we face several major competitors, including Grubhub, Uber Eats, Doordash and Postmates.

• Grubhub has been in the food delivery business for over a decade and offers a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. With their extensive network, they have the advantage of being a well-known brand in the industry. However, they have been criticized for their high fees and lack of transparency.
• Uber mange is an offshoot of the popular ride-sharing app, Uber, and operates in several countries around the world. They offer fast delivery and have a user-friendly app, which makes ordering food quick and easy. Like Grubhub, they charge high fees and there have been reports of unreliable delivery drivers.
• Doordash Specializes in delivering food from restaurants that don’t usually offer delivery. They also have a great selection of cooking options and are known for their efficient delivery times. However, they have also been criticized for their worker compensation model and have faced several lawsuits.
• Postmates originated as a courier service, delivering anything from groceries to personal items. They have since expanded into food delivery and are popular in several major cities across the United States. They offer fast deliveries and transparent pricing, but like Uber Eats, they’ve come under fire for low pay for their delivery drivers.

We view our business as offering multiple Unique Selling Propositions (USPs). First, we’ll focus on partnering with local, independent restaurants that aren’t typically offered on major food delivery apps. By offering a variety of unique new options, we believe we can attract customers who are looking for something different.

Second, we plan to offer a loyalty program where customers can earn points with every purchase and then redeem those points for discounts or free meals. By providing added value to our customers, we hope to create a loyal customer base that will return.

Finally, we believe that our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging will appeal to customers who are concerned about the environment. By using compostable and recyclable materials, we are taking a step towards reducing waste and positively impacting our planet.

The major market players have a significant hold on the industry, but we believe that by focusing on local and unique offerings and providing additional value to our customers, we can carve out a position in the market. Our competitors may steal our customers by offering lower fees or faster delivery, but we hope to differentiate ourselves enough to make these factors less important to our target market.
