RSG 180: Grocery x Convenience Wars (Instacart, Doordash, Cornershop, Shipt)

The convenience delivery space is growing and in this Episode of The Rideshare Guy Podcast, we will discuss just that! Companies like Instacart, Doordash, Cornershop, Shipt and Amazon offer integrated and offer ultra-fast delivery – but who’s in the best position to dominate? Today Harry Campbell chats with Matt Newberg, the founder of HNGRY, to talk about the grocery and convenience delivery spaces. We’ll talk about the traditional grocery players, convenience companies, and who could come out ahead.

Intro to Matt Newberg

Founder of HNGRY
Analyzes trends related to food delivery, technology and more
Been on RSG several times about cloud kitchens, pandemic growth, etc.

Major Players in the Grocery Delivery Space

Mass retailers (Walmart)
Amazon
Instacart
Best position right now? Amazon!

Convenience Delivery

1-2 hour delivery – or even 30 minutes!
Vertically integrated – helps get companies to profitability
Not necessarily impressed by some of the newer companies!
Can be a tough and competitive space

Convenience vs Delivery

Convenience historically has been planned – not a stock up, but a run out to grab X
GoPuff, DoorDash, newer services
Space is hot right now
Need to expand to succeed though, like grocery delivery – remaining in big cities won’t be sufficient

Full Integration Model – Can it Be Profitable?

GoPuff already profitable
Basket sizes significantly higher!
Success will depend on building an emotional connection with the customer, not so much speed
Selection will be important, also entering smaller markets (not NYC!)

Future for Convenience Delivery

GoPuff trending toward success
Focus on high AOVs
Brick and mortar may help foster that emotional connection
