If you own a local business, it has surely occurred to you to offer a home delivery service in order to expand your customer base and increase the number of your sales.

Setting up a home delivery service is not always easy. You have to proceed step by step in order to properly design your service. Today home delivery is a new market that is not only reserved for the catering sector. Why not embark on the adventure of home delivery to boost your sales ?

Establish a delivery plan:

Before you start headlong into setting up this new service, you need to think about an action plan that will allow you to organize this new offer.

For this, several avenues of reflection must be carried out:

optimizing your production
the number of delivery people needed
the optimal scope of delivery for your business

Optimization of production:

Opening a delivery service for your business can bring you a new customer segment. Therefore, it is important to anticipate the possible production overload that this may cause. For example, if you are a restaurateur, you will have to deal in addition to on-site and take-out orders, orders from home delivery.

It is a surplus of production and new additional work processes for your cooks. You then need to optimize your production by trying to keep up with the pace or to hire additional staff so as not to overload your staff already in place.

In addition, for many restaurateurs, the problem of developing "preparations" is not a difficulty because many dishes can be prepared in advance. Other dishes do not necessarily require very complex preparations.

The number of deliverers:

Of course, there is no delivery without delivery people. You must then recruit to meet the influx of your new orders. Students are generally quite fond of this type of job offer because it is often available. So don't hesitate to leave announcements on campuses or in university newspapers.

Your scope of delivery:

The scope of delivery is also an important factor to take into account when you want to make home delivery. The larger it is, the more people you will reach. However, the larger your delivery area, the more delivery people you will have to solicit because they will take longer to travel to deliver the customers furthest from your point of sale.

It is therefore advisable to take these factors into account and establish a wide scope of delivery only if you can afford to hire a lot of delivery people.

Join a home delivery app:

Nowadays, many applications such as Deliveroo , AlloResto or UberEats offer to affiliate your business to their application. These applications are well known and widely used, they give you a certain visibility and therefore allow you to increase your sales.

However, make sure you are sufficiently prepared in advance to cope with the influx that this connection will generate with these new providers.
