Regional takeout delivery business has always been done by people. For example, the ordering group in a large commercial office building, or the ordering service provided by the network administrator in a street of Internet cafes, are all types of takeout delivery.
Compared with the group buying industry that focuses on in-store consumption, the takeout business pays more attention to delivery and delivery speed.
Resource integration in this area is easier to do than group buying business, and the technical content is not high.
You can unite with several surrounding restaurants to provide delivery services to you, connect with surrounding office buildings and university towns, and then hire delivery riders to designated stores.
The rider delivers the meal, the consumer pays, and a complete transaction model is formed.
But this kind of business relies heavily on riders.
How is group buying done?
Negotiate with the merchant, post the product or service information online, generate a text message code after payment, and go to the store for verification. It basically does not rely on manual labor and is not difficult.
But for takeout delivery businesses, if there are not enough delivery people, it will be difficult to continue to expand.
Even if you continue to negotiate with merchants and obtain large quantities of orders, it is useless if you cannot deliver them.
People have three meals a day, which is basically the minimum standard. If the number of delivery people cannot keep up in time, it is simply unrealistic to expand.
Therefore, if you want to start a food delivery business, the first thing you need to do is to make delivery workers a serious profession with sufficient size.
Only when there are enough delivery people can they have more ability to obtain orders.
But in this era, delivery people are actually still a part-time job. They are basically hired by businesses and are not considered a serious profession.
There are even some “people’s entrepreneurs” who don’t want to spend a penny more, so they find ways to let the kitchen apprentices work part-time as delivery persons. As a result, many apprentices have studied in a certain restaurant for two years and can’t cook, but they can’t remember anything.
Therefore, if you want to expand your delivery business, recruiting delivery personnel is a big key.
In 2011, mobile Internet speed increased again.
Domestic shipments of smartphones have exceeded 300 million.
The entire market is glowing with vitality, making countless entrepreneurs excited.
But the image of riders on the street delivering goods 24 hours a day, like a boy riding the wind, delivering hot meals to the dining table is almost tantamount to delusion.
There are so many people waiting on the roadside on electric bicycles just to deliver food to you.
This is the problem that lies ahead on the road to development.
Zhang Xuhao, the founder of Hungry, was surfing the Internet in an Internet cafe and could only eat instant noodles after being hungry for a long time, so he came up with the idea of starting a takeaway business.
So far, delivery services for three surrounding universities have been established.
