Food Delivery Analytics: What Food Delivery Analytics Tells Us About Upcoming Trends

Our client owns a very popular food delivery business that connects consumers to local restaurants and enables them to order meals in Florida, USA. They focus on the best food delivery experience through an easy mobile app and website. It presents cuisines from a significant number of partner restaurants, granting customers easy access to food choices. The business aims to mark its presence in the growing market of online consumers ordering and purchasing online through user-friendly technology, efficient logistics, and supporting local eateries. With the collaboration with FoodSpark.io, the client wanted to acquire more profound insights into market dynamics and consumer preferences, all backed by advanced food delivery analytics.

Client Requirement

Through data analytics, the client hoped to gain a competitive advantage with detailed insights into food ordering trends and customer tastes and preferences. They also needed region-wise restaurant listings to find new potential partners and optimize the service area for expansion in high-demand locations. The client wanted the partner & competitor restaurant menus to be scraped to find gaps in their menu vis-à-vis competitors and to launch new items that go in line with the existing trends of consumers. This client also required competitor price monitoring so that they could make real-time adjustments to pricing strategies since even marginal changes could dramatically impact customer acquisition and retention.

 

The client also wanted mobile app scraping to fetch seasonal trends and consumer preferences so they could know what and how much is being demanded and ordered. They desired reviews and ratings across several platforms to understand the current customer sentiment. By assessing the feedback, they wish to find out the pros and cons of their services so that they can identify exactly where to improve to increase customer satisfaction further.
