Our take
The online food delivery business is a huge market and many companies are looking to cash in on this trend. goPuff are no different. The convenience of ordering food and having it delivered in less than 30 minutes has seen massive growth, especially in the last few years.
With goPuff, customers can order snacks, essentials, alcohol and more through the app or website. Once a customer enters their delivery address, they are able to see all the items available from the closest Gopuff facility. Gopuff then allows customers to add items to their bag and pay online.
With competition from the likes of Instacart, Burpy and Shipt, what makes goPuff unique is that unlike other mobile delivery services, goPuff does not rely on delivery fees to make a profit. Because of this, delivery prices never surge based on times of high demand.
After initially being valued at $15 billion, goPuff is struggling to raise up to a $1 billion, with investors backing out. As a result, hundreds of staff members were laid off. This is part of the companys realignment aimed at improving the company’s financial performance. As a global company with businesses in both North America and Europe, its ultimate aspiration is to operate across thousands of cities on multiple continents, and continue to widen how it satisfies instant needs for its customers.
