ABSTRACT
Today’s service industries are facing their toughest competition. Every service
provider industry aims to win the customers and outperform the competitors. Service is
defined as the activities, benefits or satisfactions which are offered for the sale or are
provided in connection with the sale of goods. The characteristics of services that separate
them from products are Intangibility, Invariability, Perishability, and Inseparability.
Customer prefers some product or some service because they determined the object was best
aligned with the performance and emotive requirements as judged through the comparative
norms. Customer evaluate the performance in light of how well the product, person or
service meets their perception and expectations. Companies tend to ask their customers about
corporate performance on a predetermined set of behavioural topics which may or may not
align to the perception and expectations of those customers. It is essential, especially for
companies attempting to serve highly competitive markets with many product/service
offerings, to differentiate preference formation components and preference expectations
within “naturally forming” or emergent customer segments. Every service industry will
need to strive even harder to ensure the customer experience with every aspects of contact
with the service (through Service quality, hospitality etc) will exceed their expectations. The
increased emphasis of service providers brand and the importance of relationship with the
service users will further change the way of business. Increase the distribution of service will
push up the image of the industry. The perception of service is effectively done in the minds
of people by the observed service quality. The services are activities which are intangibles in
nature; therefore standardization is one of the major issues in services. Services are so varied
and diverse that needs to classify them to identify selected areas which need to be managed
strategically. Quality is “the totality of features and characteristics of a product or services
that bears on its ability to satisfy given needs”. Quality in service has two viewpoints: internal
and external in the service firm. Internal is all about conformance and compliance to design
standards, external quality is about the customer perception, expectation, preference,
satisfaction, attitude and delight.

The projects deals with the understanding the perception of service users with
reference to ‘Uber eats’. This gives a view of consumer’s expectations and the perceptions on
the service provided by ‘Uber eats’.

PREFACE
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

E-commerce in India is expected to grow from US $2.9 billion in 2013 to a mammoth


US $100 billion by 2020, making it the fastest growing e-commerce market in the world! E-
commerce is also witnessing a spurt in online food & restaurant service companies, which is
expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2019. This white paper explores drivers of the growth of
such online food delivery companies in India, the current competition and how this affects
the brick-and-mortar restaurant business in India. Here’s a look at the supply and demand
drivers for online quick food services.

Speaking of FoodPanda (– Which is one of the biggest food service websites, picking
up almost double the funding of that of Zomato, with $310 million) while global food chains
and QSR like McDonald's, and Pizza Hut have their own websites from where the cutomers
could order food, other businesses who want in on the food delivery business opt for websites
like FoodPanda and Zomato. There are many others cropping up who have similar food
delivery formats, with their own coupon and discounts system to get more customers - Just
Eat and TastyKhana for instance, who have just entered the market recently. These exclusive
websites earn commissions on every order and the benefit to customers is that they are able to
access a number of food websites offerings at just one stop, avail discounts and exclusive
offers to get maximum value out of their online or mobile app orders. Zomato is one of the
most popular apps and websites that not only let customers order food from multiple
restaurants, but have a rating system and an exclusive phone number using which customers
could make reservations at the restaurants. Their advantage is the access to call records, using
which they continually streamline their processes. It’s no wonder they have now picked up a
funding of more than $163 million for business development. An interesting point to be noted
here is that FoodPanda plans to extend their services and tie up with restaurants that cannot
do home-delivery. There will be logistics-related investments done by FoodPanda to simply
expand their reach and get a larger bite of the home delivery market. Regardless of who gets
the better funding, it is the ‘total recall’ of websites that would ultimately take the biggest
share of the pie. Even before Zomato or FoodPanda had made an impression on the smart
Indians, there was Burrrrp!, which is now non-existent and so are other similar websites
which mushroomed at one point, but could not stay true to their value proposition. We have
addressed various online food services that deliver ready meals at homes & workplaces.

BBA (CA) Department2


IET Report 2018

There is another service based on the food delivery model - the online grocery market. Some
of the leading names in this category include PepperTap, which recently got some
extravagant funding from Snapdeal and BigBasket.

GROWTH OF THE INDUSTRY

India’s online food ordering sector saw a strong growth rate in the number of daily
orders, growing consistently at 15 per cent on a quarterly basis from January to September
last year, according to a report from RedSeer Consulting.

The growth has resulted in the number of orders on a daily basis clocking an average
of 400,000 during the September quarter. It has also meant players, including Swiggy,
Zomato and Foodpanda, are investing in in-sourcing deliveries.

In the September quarter, self-deliveries grew to 56 per cent of the total number of
orders done by the food-tech sector in India. In-house deliveries stood at 46 per cent in the
fourth quarter of 2016.

“It is becoming increasingly clear that food tech is more and more of a logistics play,
restaurant discovery is not a deep competitive advantage. There are clear trends on customer
and seller satisfaction supported by the better delivery speed and compliance that vouch for
superiority of the captive delivery model in Indian market,” said Anil Kumar, founder and
chief executive officer, RedSeer.

Having a better control of their deliver fleets, food ordering platforms were able to
bring down the average time taken to deliver a meal from 47 minutes in the December quarter
of 2016 to 42 minutes in the September quarter in 2017. This number is expected to grow as
food tech players look to boost customer satisfaction and have them order more meals.

The growth in 2018 is expected to continue at the same pace. However, Ola, India's
largest taxi-hailing firm, buying Foodpanda could upset the market. Ola has said it would
invest $200 million into Foodpanda over the next few years, creating a scare that there could
be a price war in the food-tech space again.

Currently, players such as Swiggy and Zomato have managed to maintain the growth
despite charging delivery fees for small-ticket deliveries. Experts and industry watchers say
the model of delivering food from restaurants, which is ordered online has been proven, even
if there’s some way to go for firms in the space to begin making profits.

Promo codes

Uber offers special promotions to provide discounts on food to Eaters. If the cutomers
have added multiple promo codes to the cutomersr account, the customer will be unable to
select the cutomersr preferred promo code from the cutomersr account. Instead, their most
recently added promo code will be applied to their current or next order. For example, if the
customer added a valid code on Tuesday and another code on Wednesday, their next order
will use the code the customer added on Wednesday. A promo code's value will only apply to
one order. Any remaining amount disappears.

Credits

Uber credits can be applied to any order. To use them, all they need to do is tap
"CREDITS" next to their account's payment method at check out. This will bring up their
payments profile, where they can use the toggle to apply Uber credits to future orders. To
check the customers credits balance, tap the profile icon at the bottom of the main screen and

3. BEST PRACTICES

Only Bike-delivery: The company will only deliver through their delivery partners who are
using the two-wheeler to deliver the order.

Tracking the progress of the delivery - Get updates as their order is prepared and watch in
real time as the meals is delivered to the customers destination

Getting Personalized Recommendations- The app picks up on ordering style as their order
from the app frequently. It predicts if their prefer healthy food, or vegetarian food on some
days of the week and gives recommendations accordingly.

4.UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION (UVP)

UBER is not just providing value propositions to its customers. It leverages its data to also provide
value to its suppliers and ecosystem, thereby strengthening its position versus competition.

Uber keeps on innovating on its core service, for instance with the introduction of
uber eats. By knowing ride needs of multiple people it can provide shared rides that only
incrementally change the route while it can reduce overall car movements with up to 50%.

The fact that UBER uses its strengths in assets is a well-known innovation route to
take to enter into and create new businesses and markets. It uses the assets like the fact that it
is already on the customer mobile, that the customer trust their brand, and that they can easily
allow the customer to make payments through a system the customer already use. It also
leverages its unique capabilities, like organizing point-to-point city transportation.

UberEATS uses the data it gets to further improve and build its ecosystem. Uber
EATS obviously, like all data based value propositions, trials every part of its app. It also
keeps track of the customers preferences so that the right types of restaurants come up. And it
uses the customers reviews to make better reviewed dishes and restaurants come up higher in
the list. Now that is all straightforward. But uber EATS also provides value to its ‘suppliers’.
It can inform restaurants when their quality is dropping. As it knows where the requests for a
particular restaurant or restaurant chain come from, it can analyze whether or not it makes
sense to open a new restaurant (or even what it calls a dark kitchen, which is just a kitchen for
takeout) and where it should be located. And it can see how far certain food can travel before
the rating goes down because of low temperature or sogginess of the food, and provide those
data to the restaurant.

5. SCOPE Model

SITUATION

The customers know what they say: get to know the customers neighbors, because the
customers never know who has the good food. The Uber Eats app features small, independent
restaurants and cafés as well as the big chains, so the customers can hunt around and find the
hidden gems in the customers area without even getting off the customers couch. It’s a great
way to support local businesses and get to know the food scene in the customers
neighborhood, and it means that the customers can try out new places and new cuisines every
time the customers order. Plus, the customers might just find a new favorite Italian restaurant
or a great little sushi place that the customers have never heard of before.

CORE COMPETENCIES

First mover advantage – One of the best competitive advantages of UberEats is that it is the
first mover in many of the nations where it is establishing itself. Directories and other forms
of restaurant ratings might exist. But as an app UberEats is excellent and many countries (like
India) have loved the usability of the UberEats app.

Evergreen industry – The restaurant industry is an evergreen industry. Sure, there may be
recessions and other downturns which might affect the industry. But overall, this industry is
going to stick around at all times and is only going to grow with rising disposable income.

Fast Expansion – It is appreciative that UberEats has expanded so fast. It is already in 24


countries and is expanding year on year.

Fantastic design of the app – UberEats has regularly won awards for its app design and for its
user-friendliness. The App design is fantastic and it helps you discover restaurants nearby as
well as in an area you are going to visit.

Number of users – UberEats has a huge number of users using their app. At the same time,
the site also has 90 million visitors a month approximately. With so many users following the
app and site, there are more reviews and hence more chances to find better restaurants.

Focused approach – The brand has a very focused approach and has always tried to bring the
most of out of its unique offering. It is well connected with restaurants and regularly takes

IET Report 2018

feedback from customers as well as restaurants. This focused approach has also helped the
brand image and reputation of the firm.

Excellent funding available – UberEats has picked multiple rounds of funding over the years
and because it is now so well established in many countries, there is a lot of funding available
for the app.

Multiple acquisitions – UberEats has acquired multiple companies most of which are
software or technology related.

PROSPECTS

More acquisitions – There are and were many small players in this space. UberEats can
acquire several of its competitors and at the same time, it has to keep an eye on the tech
industry and acquire any tech innovation it can get its hands on to keep on rising.

Cloud restaurants – UberEats is coming up with the concept of Cloud restaurants wherein
restaurants will not have to get a physical space to actually sell their food products. Instead,
they can sell from UberEats.

Creating a community – UberEats does have a huge following but the users do not interact
with each other. Creating a forum and a community out of the users already following
UberEats can be a huge benefit for the brand.

Adoption of the internet and Smartphones – There is a huge increase in the adoption of
Internet across developing and underdeveloped countries as well. Similarly, adoption of
smartphone has also increased. Thus more and more orders and research about restaurants
can happen online instead of through physical visits.

OBSTACLES

Security issues for the app – A major issue for UberEats in the past has been some security
issues due to which the app was hacked and at least 17 million users data was copied. Such
security issues are a nightmare for internet companies.

Still a lot of expansion required – Considering that the app has established in 24 countries,
there is good expansion. But at the same time, the app has been started 7 years back and with
the amount of funding available for UberEats, the expansion can be much faster. It is
allowing other services to establish themselves in this niche before it reaches their country.

IET Report 2018

Word of mouth and Facebook check-ins – Besides such apps, in many places word of mouth
still trumps apps and at the same time, Facebook check-ins are a strong competitor wherein
people might not need UberEats. Thus, it is an app for early adopters but definitely not for
laggards.

EXPECTATIONS

Further expansion – The number 1 opportunity for UberEats is to expand to more countries
and establish its base faster. Service industry has a major problem that services can be copied
very fast and very easily. As a result, it is critical for UberEats to establish and expand itself
faster.

7. CASE ANALYSIS

7.1 Problem Statement

The problem is lack of customers due to many reasons. The main drawback of the
company is advertisement. There is no proper advertisement about the company and due to
this, many people does not know about the company in Coimbatore. The next problem is
some people think, the cost will be more because of door delivery may and hesitate to order
online foods, this is also due to poor advertisement. If there is only few customers, then the
payment of the delivery partners will also be in trouble as they can gain money only if they
go for delivering foods . This service is done only for particular places(mainly for peak areas)
now in Coimbatore.
They don’t spend more money for advertisements. And marketing is done mainly
through delivery partners itself in Coimatore. Advertisements can reach to many people
easily than personal selling. Many of the people does not know whether UberEats is
functioning or not. Personal selling can give more information than advertisements but it
reaches only few people

The another problem is providing fake products. The fake products are more in case of
online booking through the app and the foods are not verified before delivery.
