Fundamentals still the same from the Spoonrocket days. $15/hr to pay the drivers. 3 to 5 trips an hour. Avg ticket is $16, and the platforms (P, U, D) take a third.
What's changed?
Consumers changed. People are paying $6 for delivery. They've grown accustomed to room service.
No one's taking 60+ min for food delivery.
What's next is taking India's lead and integrating ordering, prep, delivery all in one.
- daemin 8y agoThe one thing that hasn't changed is that not all food is as good delivered as in the restaurant. For example anything fried or that should be crispy. In my experience that food tends to absorb the moisture from the heat/steam it emits which gets trapped by the packaging and therefore makes it soggy.
- londons_explore 8y agoI believe this will be solved by science in the packaging. For basics, there could be hot/cold pads at certain places in the packaging to condense the steam away from the food. For advanced stuff, you could imagine certain parts of the meal actually being cooked on-route. For example, imagine a raw steak being shipped with two hot metal plates which spring onto the steak 3 minutes from delivery. As you open the package, the steak is still sizzling!
