Problem:
In today’s fast paced world, young adults are increasingly having to juggle multiple things in order to stay afloat. From commuting to a demanding 9-5 in a traffic riddled city daily, to managing a side hustle and a small business, in addition to managing personal life and relationships; there’s just too much to keep up with and oftentimes eating healthy takes the backseat. Throw in the economic realities that have impacted cost of transportation and fuel, grocery shopping has increasingly become a very expensive endeavour.
Hence, there is a clear need for a technology powered solution that would enable people to cut costs, make healthy meals and save time, all from the comfort of their homes.
Unique Selling Point: Our unique selling proposition is the fact that we are operating an UBER-like model for grocery shopping where customer order is assigned to a personal shopper who lives within the same geographical location and has been carefully trained and vetted to procure and deliver the food items within the same day to ensure product is delivered fresh which is typically within 3 hours after order confirmation.
