BUSINESS OBJECTIVE

Why Reducing In-Accurate Deliveries is Critical

Our current online food delivery business is very cost-intensive, low-margin, and scale driven with one of our goals for this year to be to drive operation costs down to become profitable. And one of the key contributors to our operation costs is financial and time investments made in refunds and customer service due to inaccurate deliveries. In fact in 2020 over 25% of orders were inaccurate and incorrect with a majority these being due to the wrong order being picked up at the restaurant by the driver.
Keeping this in mind we believe it is imperative we invest into reducing inaccurate deliveries at GrubHub.

FEATURE OBJECTIVE

An Intro to GrubQR

GrubQR is a QR Code feature aimed at ensuring the correct meal reaches the correct customer. With new feature, when an order is placed by a customer, the restaurant prepares the order, and places the order into a delivery bag with a printed receipt on it which as a QR code (unique to that order). This QR Code is then scanned twice, once by the GrubHub driver to verify they are picking up the correct order, and then by the customer to verify they are accepting the correct order from the delivery driver.

It will help our stakeholders in the following ways:

Customers:
Increase Accurate Orders Received
Reduce Occurrences of Having to Request Customer Support
Reduce Occurrences of Having to Wait for an Order to Replaced and ReDelivered
Drivers:
Reduce Orders Re-Delivered (after a delivery error)
Reduce Poor Ratings received (after a delivery error )
to Replaced and ReDelivered
Restaurants:
Reduce Orders Re-Prepared (after a delivery error)
Reduce Poor Ratings received (after a delivery error)

And it will help Ourselves (GrubHub) in the following ways:

Increase Delivery Accuracy (and make GrubHub the leading platform for accurate orders)
Reduce Refunds Issued for Inaccurate Deliveries
Reduce Customer Support (provided to customers receiving inaccurate deliveries)
Increase in Driver, Restaurant, and Customer Happiness (and brand reputation)
Reduce Negative App Ratings

In the grand scheme of things what we expect to see is:

In 1 month: GrubQR will be introduced to the top 10 restaurants in local markets for testing and we will validate that our delivery accurate rate increases within 2 weeks of this. We will initially prioritize building GrubQR for drivers and restaurants only.
In 3 Months: GrubQR will be in the top 10 cities with us expecting a 20% reduction rate in incorrect orders reported.
In 6 months: GrubQR will be deployed in all cities and will be now be available to customers as well. We expect us to see a further 10% reduction rate in incorrect orders reported.
Beyond 6 Months: GrubQR will be able to allow customers to avail of customer rewards such as discounts and free meals (to be further explored)

SWOT ANALYSIS

How Will We Implement GrubQR?

The following is a breakdown of the identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of our product feature. Assumptions are made on the operational effectiveness of the product.

SOLUTION

How Will We Implement GrubQR?

GrubQR will be implemented over the course of 2 quarters, with us requiring to build solutions for 3 platforms:
The GrubHub Restaurant App (used by restaurants preparing orders)
The GrubHub Driver App (used by drivers delivering orders)
The GrubHub Customer App (used by customers placing orders)
As part of our initial launch of GrubQR:
In-Scope
QR code verification system for an order and its contents. This can be implemented within the existing application to optimize order delivery operations.
QR code system for customer to provide driver and restaurant ratings.
QR code system for customer to view restaurant information and menu.
Out-of-Scope
Providing Reminders to Restaurants to know they have kept all meals into the order bag
Providing Rewards to Drivers for delivering accurate orders

QUARTER 1

GrubHub Restaurant Application

Our User / GrubHub Restaurant Staff and Owner

GrubHub Restaurant Staff are those who use the GrubHub Restaurant tablet application who are responsible for accepting and preparing the orders at the restaurant and handing over the order to the driver. In our current state as a service, they sometimes unintentionally hand over the wrong order to the driver thus increasing our total inaccurate orders.

QUARTER 2 & 3

GrubHub Customer Application & Website

Our User / GrubHub Customers

GrubHub Customers are those who have download the GrubHub customer facing application or are accessing the GrubHub customer facing website through which they can place orders for meals to be delivered to them from neighborhood restaurants (listed on GrubHub). In our current state as a service they tend to receive an inaccurate order 1 out of 4 times (25%) which leads to them being hungry for longer and having to spend time with our customer service team to resolve the issue. This happens due to 2 key issues:
The wrong order was picked up at the restaurant by the driver
The wrong order was received by them due to a driver unintentionally (dropping the parcel at the wrong address)

Issue 1 is already being resolved by the GrubQR feature being added by the GrubHub Driver and Restaurant Application. However Issue 2 needs to be resolved from the customer end as they need to first-hand verify that they are receiving the correct order.

Epic

As a user I want to use the GrubHub Customer App to scan the QR Code of a parcel and verify I am accepting the correct order from the Driver at my doorstep.

DESIGN

How will the design look?

Currently we have created the following mockups which can be seen below. These are just representative of what we expect the feature to look and work like and will be worked on further by the UX Design team. gma
Group 8.png

IMPROVEMENTS

Revenue Impact

Increase in Delivery Efficiency means Drivers can deliver more orders and hence collecting more revenue (as they are not redelivering order corrections)

Bottom Line Impact

Lesser investment in customer support and refunds means more revenue is retained

Metrics Impact

Increase in Daily Active Users, Monthly Active Users due to increase in delivery accuracy. These will be measured by total unique customers placing orders daily and monthly.
Increase in Engagement as our brand reputation increases due to increase in delivery accuracy. These will be measured by total unique orders placed in a day.
Increase in App Store rating as our brand reputation increases

LAUNCH PLAN

How will this project be launched?

Who needs to be notified of this launch (internal/external)?
All Users Will be informed of this feature internally and externally through the following mediums:
Onboarding Tutorial After App Update
Online Advertisement showing GrubHubs commitment to Delivery accuracy
