Beyond the Menu: Building a Data Lens for the Non-Restaurant Experience

With its foray into the Non-Restaurant segment (specifically grocery and retail), the client needed to ensure that users could smoothly discover, navigate, and transact within this expanded ecosystem, without compromising the restaurant-ordering experience. As this new business model required substantial investments and operational scaling, it became critical to:
01

Quantify the End-to-End Customer Experience:

Capture measurable insights from app entry to post-delivery to understand how users engage with the Non-Restaurant (grocery and retail) segment.

02

Ensure Seamless Discoverability:

Determine whether the product catalog was rich and diverse enough to meet user needs, and whether users could find the SKUs they were looking for with ease.

03

Track Behavioral Engagement Metrics:

Monitor key actions like product views, add-to-cart rates, and conversion drop-offs to understand user intent and friction points.

04

Identify Journey Bottlenecks:

Pinpoint where customers dropped off, whether during product search, cart building, checkout, or post-order to optimize these interactions.

05

Enable Real-Time, Region-Specific Insights:

Equip cross-functional teams and regional leads with data to make timely, experience-led decisions tailored to specific geographies.

06

Maintain a Positive Restaurant Order Experience:

Ensure that enhancements to the Non-Restaurant journey didn’t compromise the performance or UX of the core restaurant delivery flow.

07

Establish a Continuous Feedback Loop

Build a scalable, data-driven mechanism that supports ongoing experimentation, experience refinement, and operational efficiency.

Unpacking the Experience: A Funnel-Led, Metric-Driven Insight Engine

To ensure the success of this strategic shift, a comprehensive Customer Order Funnel Insight Generator was developed. The solution focused on dissecting and measuring the complete customer journey for the Non-Restaurant segment.

01

SKU Discoverability

The rate of items added to cart at various user touchpoints highlighted the effectiveness of product discovery and app navigation.

02

Cart and Checkout Flow

Conversion rates were tracked from browsing to checkout and final order placement to assess friction in the funnel.

03

Post-Order Experience

Metrics like delivery delays, defect rates, and complaint frequency ensured post-purchase satisfaction was also monitored.

From Metrics to Momentum: Driving Growth with Real-Time Experience Intelligence

The Customer Order Funnel Insight Generator delivered powerful outcomes across the board:

Rapid Grocery Business Growth:

We helped scale the client’s grocery business from a $1M to a $3M/month revenue stream, tripling their monthly earnings in this new vertical.

Granular Visibility

Teams gained clear visibility into how users engaged with each stage of the new Non-Restaurant order funnel.

03

Faster Issue Resolution

In Chile, the dashboard helped uncover catalog availability gaps, prompting immediate action to rectify customer drop-offs.

04
