Foodora is responsible for all the content on the app\/website, it has a professional photographer taking pictures for its best-selling restaurants.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Preparation: <\/strong>Once the customer has completed the order, the restaurant receives a notification and starts preparing the dishes. It also immediately receives the ETA of the delivery person and their name, so that it knows by when the food has to be ready and packed up in a Foodora bag.<\/p>\n Delivery: <\/strong>Once the restaurant has prepared the food, it is handed over to a delivery person. Food is only delivered on bikes, in order to be environmentally friendly and faster. The delivery zones are very small (1.1 miles) in comparison to its competitors, in order to ensure fast delivery times (max. 30 min) and high utilization of the riders.<\/p>\n Both the customer and the restaurant have full transparency over the supply chain during the order. Customers get an ETA of their food before submitting the order, after submitting they can closely track each step along the supply chain. Once the food has been picked up at the restaurant, the location of the delivery person can be tracked to see the exact location of the rider.<\/p>\n How do Foodora, the restaurants and the riders make money?<\/em><\/p>\n There are two main ways: Each customer pays a delivery fee, depending on the city. In Munich it is currently 2.90\u20ac (~$3.1) per delivery. The restaurants pay 30% of the order price to Foodora (e.g. of a 100\u20ac order they pay 30\u20ac to Foodora). Yet, the restaurant benefits of a tax difference of 12%. In Germany the VAT for a restaurant meal is 19%, yet for take-out it\u2019s only 7%. The difference of 12% (which the consumer usually doesn\u2019t know about) is kept by the restaurant.<\/p>\n For restaurants it is a very lucrative way to generate additional revenues\/profits, since they mostly only accrue variable costs. Everything is in place already: the cooks, the infrastructure, the food etc. Foodora takes care of the entire delivery, so that the restaurants reduce idle capacity by preparing food for delivery. When restaurants realize that they cannot cope with high levels of demand, they can go offline until things have calmed down. Some restaurants in Munich are extremely sought after and popular (also due to the fact that it is almost impossible to get a reservation), so they have hired an additional cook to ensure smooth processes.<\/p>\n The majority of the delivery people are students, who deliver food as a side job. Similar to the UBER model, Foodora does not own any bikes. Foodora provides the pink delivery boxes, a helmet and jackets for the riders. The riders must have a smartphone and a bike to deliver the food. Some of the riders have assigned shifts and times, others can log on when they feel like getting some exercise done and earning 12\u20ac (~$14) an hour, plus tip.<\/p>\n How does Foodora promote?<\/em><\/p>\n Scale is absolutely crucial in the food delivery industry due to rather low variable costs (only the riders), this is why Foodora has been very aggressive in terms of marketing. They have covered cities with printed ads, pink bicycles, pink balloons and graffiti.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Foodora also set up corporate accounts, where employees of big companies can log on after a certain hour and can order food from their desired restaurant. The companies set a budget per person, if an employee decides to order more, (s)he can simply use his\/her credit card to pay for the difference. The amount is immediately deducted from the corporate account and employees no longer have to worry about expensing their meals.<\/p>\n What can Foodora do going forward?<\/em><\/p>\n Foodora should consider using its data in a better manner, they have accumulated extremely valuable information about eating patterns, restaurant choices, demographics, etc\u2026 Foodora can better leverage this information and e.g. sell it to research firms or to people interested in opening a restaurant\/improving their operations. Although outside their core expertise, they could also help restaurants improving their inventory management and supply chain, using the data.<\/p>\n (795 words)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n http:\/\/www.zeit.de\/wirtschaft\/2016-06\/foodora-lieferdienst-essen-geschaeftsmodell<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.gruenderszene.de\/allgemein\/foodora-vs-deliveroo-test<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.sueddeutsche.de\/muenchen\/lieferdienste-fuenf-minuten-laufen-fuer-ein-essen-wirklich-nicht-1.3100473<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.wiwo.de\/unternehmen\/dienstleister\/lieferando-lieferheld-foodora-beissen-lieferdienste-die-hand-die-sie-fuettert\/14625238.html<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.spiegel.de\/spiegel\/lieferdienste-foodora-und-deliveroo-a-1098935.html<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.horizont.net\/marketing\/nachrichten\/Lieferdienst-Studie-Nur-13-Prozent-der-Deutschen-kennen-Foodora-und-Deliveroo-143527<\/p>\n http:\/\/www1.wdr.de\/verbraucher\/ernaehrung\/lieferdienste-essen-100.html<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.foodora.de\/en\/<\/p>\n Investor presentation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have your favorite food delivered in 30 minutes!
