People are becoming increasingly curious about where their food comes from and how it’s prepared which means fresh food deliveries are really taking off. Now, consumers can get all their groceries delivered to their door, or even packed lunches delivered direct to their workplace.

Fresh food deliveries more popular than ever

Discerning consumers are exploring fresh food delivery options in droves because they value farm-fresh produce that hasn’t been caught up for days in supermarket distribution processes. And there are other great benefits too, such as not having to give up time for shopping, knowing your lunch will be crafted by a culinary genius – and having peace of mind that farmers are getting their fair cut!

So, whether it’s pre-prepared food or sustainable alternatives to supermarkets, there are so many opportunities in the fresh food delivery space for established businesses and new startups.

It’s a challenging game

But here at Go People, we understand the challenges these businesses are facing despite the plethora of opportunity. Profit margins on fresh produce are often slim which means high same-day delivery costs can be a real killer.

Usually, the only way to stay profitable is by making large volumes of deliveries within a small area over a short period of time. But that doesn’t give much room for growth and it’s hard to hit the ground running if you’re a new startup, right?

Stay profitable with point-to-point deliveries

Point-to-point delivery solutions like Go People are a great way to overcome the fresh food delivery challenge and stay profitable. That’s because we already have an extensive network of over 17,000 delivery runners at your disposal and the technology to get those deliveries picked up on demand and transported direct to your customer in the shortest possible time.

And the best part – our costs are low because our available runners are already on the road and ready to respond to your booking. That’s because they’re keeping extremely busy with other deliveries when you’re not using them, which means – you guessed it – the burden doesn’t fall on you to drive down costs with high delivery volumes!
