Good insight into not taking people for granted..

Instacart is partnered with a huge range of popular stores to order from, including Costco, Target, Sprouts, Safeway, CVS, H Mart, Best Buy, Petco, and plenty more.

67% of Items on Instacart are Marked-Up I have no idea if that's actually the number. That's the scary thing, no customers know what is marked up or for how much or from where. Different stores have different mark ups. Different items have different mark ups. Sometimes none at all. Alternately, the platform could keep these rolling in order to make it so you never know. I have no problem with a business making money. If you make an offer and the customer agrees, all the power to both sides. The challenge we have here though are models with low transparency and compensation issues for shoppers that result in shifting more costs to the consumer (check my post this morning about tip nudging). Delivery and service models can be clear and clean. You are providing a service, feel confident on what you are charging and why. #gigwork #instacart #delivery https://lnkd.in/dqWcNkyX

📰 Ripe Report No. 05: Canseco’s Market Goes Digital with Instacart Partnership Canseco's Market, a New Orleans grocery favorite, is joining forces with Instacart to power its online shopping experience.

This partnership highlights the growing availability of delivery options for local favorites like Canseco’s, similar to last week's announcement about Rouses and DoorDash. However, shoppers should be mindful that products on Instacart may be marked up by as much as 20% from in-store prices in addition to the delivery fees you will pay. As delivery options expand, it's vital to stay informed about the best deals, whether shopping in-store or online. 💬 We Want to Hear from You: Are you excited about the convenience of having Canseco's Market at your fingertips through Instacart?

I am a numbers guy and don't see how Wonder's Marc Lore can ever achieve profitability with his high capex, 2-step production process (partial cooking in a commissary kitchens and then finishing entrees in Wonder restaurants in Walmarts) at a price point that will work for Walmart customers. What will he do after investors money runs out? However, at XOOM FOODS, we have pioneered an innovative model that overcomes the deficiencies of existing food delivery models, allowing us to deliver restaurant food without delivery fees and tips while having the best unit economics in the industry. We have zero capex and very low operating expenses because we don’t make any food ourselves. We have no food production facilities, no raw material inventory, no cooked meals inventory, no warehouses, no cold storage, and no wastage. We aggregate customers’ orders weekly and then give bulk orders to a small group of carefully selected and vetted restaurants in advance, let them cook in their off-peak times and use the massive unused capacity they have between lunch and dinner times, and then ship to customers in cold boxes using Fedex and UPS. Essentially, we are creating a 3rd option for people to get restaurant food - in addition to the existing options of restaurant dining and ordering delivery, which are both time-consuming and costly - through our novel restaurant meal subscription that makes heat-and-eat restaurant food more affordable and convenient than all other options. With XOOM FOODS, a $20 Fettuccine Alfredo from a decent restaurant will still cost $20 including shipping instead of $35 for a Doordash delivery.

Summary: Gig delivery services like Instacart and Walmart Spark are increasingly batching orders together, which can lead to lower earnings for drivers and frustration for customers. While companies assert that batching is beneficial for drivers and customers, many gig workers report decreased income and negative customer experiences. Takeaway: The practice of batching orders in gig delivery services may impact both drivers' earnings and customer satisfaction, highlighting the need for a balance to ensure fair compensation and efficient service.

Something to think about with your morning coffee ☕ The average delivery service customer is spending $407 a month in 2023, up from $157 a month in 2021, according to a recent survey from LendingTree. Four-fifths of consumers reported using on-demand delivery in the past year. Millennials spent the most, $575 a month. In the LendingTree survey, 82% of consumers said they used on-demand delivery over the past year. Online food delivery, alone, generated $160 billion in revenue in 2022. That figure is projected to rise to $484 billion by 2032. However, delivery fees can cost more than food. Choosing delivery over a trip to the store triggers delivery fees, service fees and tips. Together, they make up about 36% of food delivery costs and this creates an opportunity to disrupt the home delivery service for food, medicine, pet food and consumer goods in 2024. The way Uber disrupted the thinking of consumers to pick up a stranger in their car, Airbnb disrupted thoughts about sharing a room in their home with a stranger and Turo disrupted the thinking of lending your personal vehicle to a stranger, you will see a consumer disruptive methodology on how home and office delivery functions. #homedelivery #lendingtree ##ubereats #grubhub #instacart #doordash #amazon #turo #uber #airbnb

DoorDash joins Instacart in allowing customers to use SNAP EBT online payments for on-demand delivery of eligible grocery items. The firm just announced that it’s partnering with 4,000 Albertsons, Safeway, Meijer, Aldi, and 7-Eleven locations to facilitate the program through their app. It’s groundbreaking news for the supermarket and convenience store industry, which will have a huge positive impact on seniors, those with disabilities, and vulnerable populations that are food insecure. According to the USDA nearly 18 million people, or 6.1 percent of the U.S. population live in a food desert, meaning they lack access to grocery stores. It’s a great example of leveraging profit motive to solve big problems. https://bit.ly/3OlbOfR #foodsecurity #foodinsecurity #doordash #instacart #commercialkitchenequipment #grocerystorenews #grocerystoreindustry #restaurantequipment #restaurantauctions #restaurantnews #cfo #coo #foodindustry #foodindustryequipment #sustainability #liquidaterestaurant #openrestaurant #expandrestaurant #foodoperations #restaurantclosure #restaurantremodel #restaurantliquidation
