For some individuals who own little food organizations in Indonesia, “everything is dealt on their own, so I extremely needed to make a framework so they can have better tasks and get greater personal satisfaction,” Shearer explained. 

His startup, Wahyoo, was established in 2017 to support little restaurants, called warung makan, digitize and computerize more undertakings, from requesting supplies to overseeing funds. 

Today, Wahyoo declared that it has brought $5 million up in Series A financing driven by Intudo Ventures, an investment firm centered around Indonesia. 

Different speculators in the round included Kinesys Group, Amatil X (the corporate endeavor program of Coca-Cola Amatil, one of the world’s five biggest Coca-Cola bottlers), Arkblu Capital, Indogen Capital, Selera Kapital, Gratyo Universal Indonesia and Isentia Hioe. 

The capital will be utilized on employing, building up Wahyoo’s tech stage, and extending past the Greater Jakarta region. 

In a press articulation about the speculation, Intudo Ventures establishing accomplice Patrick Yip stated, “Little and medium undertakings speak to one of the significant motors of financial development in Indonesia and are being changed through new inventive organizations like Wahyoo, carrying more noteworthy monetary success to entrepreneurs all through the nation. 

Through the organization’s digitization endeavors, Wahyoo’s exceptionally focused on help for warung makan organizations is making positive financial and social effects for Indonesia’s average workers.” 

Wahyoo propelled its application precisely a year back and has onboarded around 13,800 warung makan up until now. 

The organization’s prime supporters are Shearer, the CEO; head working official Daniel Cahyadi; and boss innovation official Michael Dihardja. 

With around 268 million individuals, Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s biggest markets, and there are as of now new businesses, as Warung Pintar and BakuWarung, that emphasize aiding warung, or little corner stores, digitize a greater amount of their tasks. 

Shearer said he needed to concentrate on Indonesian restaurants specifically because “my experience is in the food business and I love anything identified with food. 

Second, the potential is enormous because nobody has taken advantage of this sort of warung previously. 

Everybody centers around retail, yet nobody takes advantage of the culinary business.” 

Wahyoo as of now utilizes around 170 individuals, remembering for the-ground groups who meet with warung makan proprietors. 

The diners are “generally run by a family, from age to age,” with practically all undertakings performed physically, remembering accounting and going to business sectors right on time for the morning to purchase fixings, Shearer said. 

Wahyoo’s highlights incorporate a following day staple delivery service from its stockrooms and joining with Go Food, a well-known conveyance application. 

The startup likewise runs a training program called Wahyoo Academy, with financial courses to help warung makan proprietors increment client traffic and income, and offers publicizing and brand organizations. 

For instance, an eatery on Wahyoo’s foundation can gain cash by setting advertisement pennants or leaflets in their stores. 

That is one of the ways Wahyoo adapts. 

It is allowed to use for eatery proprietors and makes income by taking a level of brand commissions. 

Another income stream is Wahyoo’s singed chicken establishment, which gives warung makan proprietors the choice of opening a little slow down before their stores. 

It at present has around 350 slows down and minimizes expenses by banding together with one of Indonesia’s biggest poultry providers. 

Shearer said the organization will likely expand the number of slows down to 1,000 before the current year’s over. 

While restaurants on Wahyoo saw a drop in their business in April and May on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shearer said that it started to recoup in June and July, and is currently back to typical, mostly due to the stage’s Go Food coordination. 

Later on, Wahyoo may confront rivalry from other warung-centered new companies if they chose to extend their administrations to eateries too, and new businesses that need to take advantage of the business opportunity offered by the 59.3 million little to medium-sized organizations in Indonesia, a significant number of which haven’t digitized their activities yet. 

Shearer said Wahyoo’s offer is its arrangement of corresponding administrations. “We are essentially making a biological system,” he included. 

“We are concentrating on the flexible chain, yet additionally our image. We have the seared chicken brand and later on, we will take advantage of money related innovation and the providing food business also.”

Meituan’s shares hiked after it reported a smaller than expected 13% of the slide in revenue and better-than-expected sales of $2.4 billion in the three critical months during the pandemic that ended March and drove hopes that Meituan has started to recover from the pandemic effect. 

Meituan Dianping is backed by Tencent Holdings Ltd. and offers in-store dining booking and hotel booking services apart from food delivery. Its rivals, SF express, and Ant Financial, both backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., are now elbowing their way into Meituan’s core food delivery business, the best example of it is Alibaba’s food-delivery arm Ele.me which is battling with Meituan for market leadership.

Just a few days before that, Amazon has launched its online food delivery, called Amazon Food, in India. The e-commerce giant has made an investment of more than $6.5B through Amazon Food in selected parts in the city of Bengaluru, India. 

Amazon Food has been launched in very critical timings where the established players of food delivery business in India, Zomato, and Swiggy had laid thousands of its employees off in just a month, and global giant UberEats left the country months ago. 

But the Amazon has seen the potential of the growing Asian food delivery market in the coming years. The company entered in the food delivery business through the largest Asian market, India. Let’s see what is about the Asian market that attracted Amazon to invest in it even in these adverse times. 

Why Asia is the emerging food delivery market?

The Asia-Pacific is by far the fastest-growing region globally in terms of the food delivery market with CAGR of 14% in 2020, according to an independent research firm, Euromonitor International.

Within APAC, China is dominating the market with a stunning CAGR of 55%. On the other hand, India managed to gain the 2nd position but remained so distant to that of China. Well the two markets combined total foodservice value is worth more than 28% of the global total. The other APAC markets in Southeast Asia have high growth potential despite their relatively small sizes. 

The food delivery market is already highly saturated in the developed markets of Southeast Asia, and so the companies have to look for ways to steal market share. On the other hand, companies can easily manage to gain market share in the less developed markets of Vietnam, Indonesia, or the Philippines also they are forecast to grow rapidly. 

Technology-enabled on-demand delivery of groceries, food, or meal-kit has increased dramatically in the APAC region. Rapid urbanization and comparatively low labor costs across the region are especially well suited to any business. Let dig dipper to understand more about the factors that are driving the market. 

Technology: 

Technology is highly integrated into the food delivery industry, accelerating the adoption of existing technologies, as well as a suite of emerging technologies, create immense opportunities for food delivery businesses. 

For example, data analytics offer businesses the opportunity to understand customer behavior and preferences in a way that was not possible before. 

Food technology is starting to revolutionize the way we produce food, from 3D printing to synthetic meat, and businesses are looking at smart food production. This trend may soon be seen in food delivery businesses.

IoT and blockchain are transforming supply systems and bringing more efficiency and transparency. Through these technologies, it is now possible to track the location and measure the temperature of products in real-time, providing transparency over the entire supply chain. 

AR/VR and near real-time video streaming, are creating new experiences for consumers and creating huge opportunities for both food providers and food delivery. 

Online food ordering and delivery platforms open the door in particular for home kitchens or delivery-only restaurants and make it possible to start, without the need for significant capital. 

Shifting consumer preferences:

The way we choose what, when, how, and why about food is complex and changing, and significantly affects the food delivery businesses. Interest in meat-free consumption is growing in the region, which is sparking the demand for protein substitutions, such as synthetic meat or tofu. 

Over 50% of the people in the APAC region are eating out-of-home food at least once a week, which gives rise to home delivery of ready to eat meals and meal boxes delivery businesses. 

The region is rising as an experience economy, which means visually appealing foods dominate the market, and the restaurants which are able to successfully deliver the restaurant-like dining experience at home will steal the market. 

A changing population creating higher opportunities:

It is expected that the Asia Pacific will be home to more than 10 Billion people by 2050, and almost 9/10 of them will be middle-class consumers, and 1/4 people will be over the age of 60. All these data points only towards the growing demand for food delivery in the region in the near future.

Food delivery app development: Next big hit for startups

With the online platforms for food delivery service are making inroads around the world, the food-delivery market of the APAC region is yet to explore its full potential. We’ve already seen much of that growth pattern play out in Europe, from 56% growth in Sweden to 43% growth in Austria. On the other hand, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East are at the beginning of their growth cycle in the food delivery spectrum. 

The opportunity for the startups is so high that it is possible that in the near future, even the traditional-delivery restaurants will migrate to on-demand food delivery service due to its advantages like cost-efficient, easy-to-manage logistics, etc.

The top five global players of the industry have reached a combined valuation of more than €10B, and the market has become more bullish on the sector, giving the newbie significantly higher valuations and higher levels of funding than the listed companies achieved at the same stage.

However, the coronavirus outbreak has opened up many windows of opportunities for the on-demand food delivery industry. With government authorities imposing rules to shut down cafes and restaurants, people are opting more for on-demand food delivery apps. According to CNBC, Grab’s food delivery business in Singapore has increased by 20% in the last few days as people do not prefer to go out during coronavirus outbreak.

However, not putting delivery workers and customers in direct physical contact has later emerged as the challenge. But delivery companies like Postmates have found the way to deal with that challenge by introducing a few more features in their delivery apps.

Postmates on 6th March 2020 has added a new feature in its app and initiated ‘non-contact’ delivery. The major ambition behind the introduction of ‘non-contact’ delivery was reducing the spread of the coronavirus when its contract workers are delivering ordered meals.

To actualize the ‘non-contact’ delivery, Postmates has added a new feature called Drop Off options which facilitates users to specify how they would like to receive the delivery.

Not only Postmates but Chinese food delivery platform Meituan Dianping has also introduced the same ‘non-contact’ delivery, according to Bloomberg.

So, if you also want to leverage this opportunity created by the coronavirus outbreak in the on-demand food delivery market by developing an on-demand food delivery app, you should consider extra features to deliver the food packages that are coronavirus-free.

In this blog, we will discuss the profitable and result-oriented ways to develop and run an on-demand food delivery business amid the coronavirus outbreak. We will also discuss the steps you can take to deal with any other healthcare and economic crisis in the future. But before all of these, let’s first discuss the basics of the on-demand food delivery app and business.

The on-demand food delivery business basics you should know to move advance

• The on-demand food delivery app is one of the three types of food delivery apps. These types of food delivery apps include an app for takeaways, an on-demand app for your own restaurant chain with your own delivery drivers, and an on-demand app for others’ restaurants with your delivery drivers. Among all of these, the on-demand app for others’ restaurants with your delivery drivers is the most profitable type of on-demand food delivery apps.
• You should opt for the gig economy model rather than hiring own delivery staff to reduce operating costs and resources by more than 30%.
• A single on-demand food delivery app consists of two different apps with different features for drivers and users. A dashboard for admin is also part of the on-demand food delivery app.
• On-demand food delivery apps are making a huge sum of profit by introducing premium services, taking a commission on every order from listed restaurants, enabling restaurants to give the ads by paying money, taking a rating-based commission, and giving its online space to other companies for ads.
• Top on-demand food delivery apps are offering remarkable discounts on every order to build a strong user base. But they add distance fees if the delivery distance is higher than 3-4 kilometers.
• Aligning supply (availability of drivers) with the demand (food orders placed by users) is the major challenge all on-demand food delivery businesses are facing. However, companies have started using AI technology to predict the demand and satisfy it more effectively.
• To encourage delivery drivers to serve in areas where demand is high, food delivery companies offer them a boost in their per delivery earning. They apply the same strategy even when it is raining as the number of food orders rises significantly during rainy weather.
• Big food delivery companies form many dedicated teams and build centers to process applications of delivery drivers, distribute food delivery bags, and solve any query of the delivery drivers.
• Food delivery apps track the speed of the delivery driver while he is delivering to make sure that the driver with the ‘bicycle delivery account’ is not using a car to deliver food.
• Almost all companies deposit weekly earnings of drivers and restaurants in their bank accounts on a fixed day of a week. Whereas, a few companies let drivers and restaurant owners claim their earned money any day, any time.
• All on-demand food delivery businesses are promoting transparency with an extensive rating system – delivery drivers, restaurant owners, and users can rate each other.

So, now when you know the basics of the food delivery app, let’s move ahead and discuss advance – how to build an on-demand food delivery app during the coronavirus outbreak to leverage the high demand.

The advance – how to build an on-demand food delivery app during the coronavirus outbreak?

Following is the step-by-step guide to plan, develop, and deploy an on-demand food delivery app during a pandemic.

Step 1:

Do not aim to just develop an on-demand food delivery app to earn money from it during a coronavirus outbreak. Instead, focus on long-term goals and use the surge created by the coronavirus outbreak in the on-demand industry to build a strong initial user base.

This means the first step should be all about defining your short-term and long-term requirements & goals and drafting the business plan. Your business plan must include everything from locations, business models, targeted users, app feature set, marketing campaigns, and legal concerns.

Here, you should also identify the ways to ensure the virus-free food package delivery.

Step 2:

Approach an on-demand food delivery app development company, carefully!

Amid the rising fear of coronavirus, different countries are locking down the cities and asking companies to shut down their offices or implement work-from-home policy. So, if you end up outsourcing your project to the app development company of the highly affected country, you will not get excellent output and on-time app delivery.

Moreover, you should also take app development and the delivery time into account as you only have a time window of 60 – 80 days to launch the food delivery app. If you miss this time window, you will miss the business opportunity created by a coronavirus.

Step 3:

After you approach an on-demand app development company, share your business plan or business requirements so that their team of business experts can validate your idea and identify the scope.

Since consultation from experts plays a crucial role, talk to their business experts proactively and discuss everything from the business model, app design, feature set, legality, and marketing campaigns.

Step 4:

Most of the app development companies give you an update on the ongoing app development process daily or weekly. So, whenever they give you the update or show you the basic design and working of the app, do not turn blind eye to it. Ask them straightaway to change the design or feature if you do not like it.

Moreover, keep an eagle eye on the coronavirus outbreak and with the evolving scenario, make necessary changes in your app features, business model, and marketing campaign. After all,  you have to utilize the business opportunity created by the coronavirus outbreak to give an initial boost to your food delivery business.

Step 5:

At last, when your hired app development company delivers you the developed app, make sure it does not have any bugs. Because if there are many bugs in your app and you deploy it without solving them, it affects the user experience. And if your IT partner solves those bugs, it delays the app deployment. Meaning, none of the options is helping you here, except a bug-free app straight from the app development company!

Step 6:

When it comes to running the marketing campaign, be very precise. Do not promote all of your app features. Instead, identify the 2-3 most unique features which can attract more users amid coronavirus outbreak and promote those features only.

Moreover, focus on short-term goals, try to build an initial user base, and do not pay much heed to long-term goals as of now. For instance, you should focus on ‘non-contact’ delivery as it is trending right now rather than focusing on any other common features of the mobile app.

The future – how to sustain the on-demand food delivery app?

The coronavirus isn’t going to stay here forever. But your app will! Thus, it is a vitally important step to adopt the new changes of the on-demand app market in the upcoming future. If you fail to put your app parallel to the market changes,  your app won’t simply survive long.

The following are the top two ways to sustain the on-demand food delivery app.

• First of all, you should understand the fact that on-demand app development isn’t the one time process. With every new trend and market change, you have to update your app by adding new features. Not only this, but you have to change the feature set of your on-demand app when you introduce a new business model. Thus, you should always hire an on-demand app development company that stands beside you as long as you continue running your food delivery business. Having an on-demand food delivery company always ready for you makes you act quickly to the market change. They make you seize the new business opportunity way before your competitors.
• Your goals should not be limited to build an initial user base. You should also work on the strategies to keep those initial users into your business sales life cycle even after the end of the coronavirus outbreak. For that, you have to promote transparency, solve their queries quickly, offer remarkable user experience, understand their requirements, and level up the feature set.

Two major players of Indian food delivery market are Zomato and Swiggy. Both unicorn status earned companies process more than 13 million orders in the month. However, due to low-margin business, poor supply-demand ratio, over-reliance on gig workers and cutthroat competition, they both are losing a heap of money. Thus, they are trying many ways to cut the operation cost and to have enough drivers to satisfy the demand.

In the second month of this year, Zomato tied up with many e-bike manufacturers of India to convert 40% of the fleet to power-assisted bikes. At present, Zomato has a fleet of more than 5000 e-bikes and delivery partners are delivering food on e-bikes in over 12 cities of India. In his official statement, Zomato spokesperson said that e-bikes enable drivers to deliver the food on time and earn more.

Is it feasible for Indian food delivery startups to do food delivery with electric bikes?

 
So, if you are a food delivery startup from India and eager to know whether it is really feasible to introduce e-bikes for food delivery purpose, continue reading this feasible study report. In this FSR, we will discuss all factors affecting conventional food delivery method as well as food delivery with e-bikes method. Using the evaluation criteria such as cost, technology, distribution, legal, and operation, we will evaluate the possible use of e-bikes in food delivery segment and come to a conclusion which will surely change the way you are running food delivery startup.

Problems Indian food delivery startups are facing

 
Following are the top problems Indian food delivery startups are facing while delivering food using the conventional delivery method.

Delivery drivers are earning less amid rising fuel price

 
Though food delivery companies are offering very good employment opportunity to delivery executives, they are claiming that they cannot earn enough money to survive effortlessly. They have to spend a major percentage of their earning on the fuel and since they are independent contractors, food delivery companies cannot pay them the fuel price. This whole situation restricts more delivery executives from joining the company which eventually decreases the order fill rate (percentage of orders satisfied) and so does the user satisfaction rate.

➯ An inefficient driver tracking method

As of now, a user can track the delivery driver who is on his way to deliver the food, in the mobile app. But many users complain that they can’t track delivery drivers properly and it is true. Delivery drivers are tracked using their phone’s location. If they keep GPS on their phones off, there is no other way to track them.

➯ Congested cities causing a delay

Indian cities are among the most congested cities in the world and to deliver food in such cities, delivery drivers require 20-30% more time. Because of this undesirable delay, customers get the food late and delivery drivers earn below average. So, both customer satisfaction and driver satisfaction get affected, very badly.

➯ Possible solutions to problems food delivery startups are facing

After discussing the problems food delivery startups are facing, let’s discover some solutions to decode those problems.

➯ Don’t work with gig workers

The most proposed solution is hiring delivery executives rather than relying on gig workers. They claim that hired delivery drivers get all employee benefits and satisfactory wage which can double their satisfaction rate. Having full control on delivery drivers is another advantage they are quoting as the benefit of hiring delivery drivers. However, this is not a feasible solution at all. If you choose to hire delivery executives and not to rely on gig workers, your company’s internal cost will increase significantly which you really can’t afford.

➯ Filter delivery jobs based on distance and account type

Delivery job filtration based on distance and account type is another proposed solution. Here is how it works.

When a user registers himself to be a delivery driver for your food delivery startup, give him the choice to select an account type from available two options – motorbike account and car account. If he selects motorbike account, you should allocate him deliveries only within 2.5 kilometres and if he selects car account, allocate him deliveries beyond 2.5 kilometres. Car account holder delivery driver who has to drive more distance to deliver the food, gets more per kilometre rate after completing the first 2.5 kilometres which means he does not have the option to complain.

Same way, a motorbike account holder who receives delivery requests to deliver food within 2.5 kilometres does not have the option to complain as he does not need to work hard and spend more time and fuel to deliver food within 2.5 kilometres only!

However, this is just a hack, not an ethical solution (to let drivers earn based on account type).

» Distribute e-bikes to delivery partners

And the last solution is distributing e-bikes like you distribute delivery bags to delivery partners. In case you don’t know, all food delivery companies give delivery bags to the drivers as the welcome kit and deduct the money of the delivery bag from the first week earning of the drivers. And when the delivery driver returns the bag, companies deposit the deducted money back to the driver’s account. Same way, give e-bikes to some selected delivery drivers and deduct the 50% of the price of an e-bike from their earning. When they return it, check the condition of the e-bike and deposit the deducted money back to the drivers’ accounts. This is a very revolutionary, practical and ethical idea which alone can solve all problems of food delivery startups.

We will now evaluate this idea by taking a few important factors into account.

 
➯ Evaluation – why delivering food with e-bikes is the feasible solution?

We haven’t reached the ultimate solution yet. But after this evaluation process, we will firmly say that an e-bike is the guardian angel for food delivery startups!

➯ Cost

To buy an e-bike, you have to spend somewhere between $300 to $500. However, as we have discussed, after giving it to a driver, deduct 50% of the price of an e-bike from his earnings and when he returns it to you, refund him the deducted amount (after checking the bike’s condition) and give that e-bike to some other driver and deduct the 50% of the price of an e-bike from that driver’s earnings. Keep doing this and you will never feel that you have purchased e-bikes by spending huge.

➯ Technology

Generally, the latest generation of e-bikes is coming with inbuilt IoT features. One of the most prominent features is the tracking feature. A driver who delivers the food using e-bike is tracked via his e-bike and not via his phone. Meaning, users can track the location of the driver even when his phone or its GPS is off. But to actualize it, the connection between the mobile app of a driver, admin panel and IoT controller of the e-bike is the fundamental need.

➯ Distribution

You can distribute the e-bikes to those drivers who do not afford fuel and own motorbike to deliver the food. For that, you can allow them to ask for e-bike when they register themselves to be delivery executives.

➯ Legal

In India, there is no strict rule regarding e-bike. In fact, the government is appreciating it as it is environment-friendly.

➯ Operation

Once you give an e-bike to a delivery driver, you are not responsible for day-to-day operation (battery charging) of the e-bike. However, you can offer free maintenance service to those drivers whose rating is high.

Conclusion

 
Buying a fleet of e-bikes is undoubtedly the best investment you can make as the food delivery startup. It helps you to sustain a high user and delivery driver satisfaction rate while spending very less. However, to deliver food using e-bike you should integrate a different module into your food delivery app. This module establishes the connection between the driver app, admin panel and e-bike and enables admin to know the status of the e-bike.

We, being the top e-scooter app development company and on-demand food delivery company, accommodate clever designers and develops who can develop your food delivery app with all necessary features as well as features which need to be integrated if you wish to deliver food using e-bikes.
