Overview - Make sure your answer reflects your clarity of thinking. - Make sure your answer is structured, logical and easy to understand. - Focus on the content, there is no need for fancy slides. Context: There are four parties involved in Food Delivery: - The users who order the food - The restaurants who sell the food - The drivers who deliver the food - The platform that enables the three parties above For Food Delivery, the “Unit Economics” of the platform relate to: - The user pays for food (Food fee) and for delivery (Delivery fee). - The platform e.g. LINE MAN takes a percentage-based commission from the restaurant on the Food fee. Each restaurant has a different commission percentage, up to 30% maximum. - The platform subsidizes the Delivery fee to make it as cheap as possible as users are price-sensitive. - Drivers earn based on distance. The longer the distance, the more the platform pays. Assume the platform pays drivers: - Base price for one order: 55 baht - For every kilometer: 7.2 baht Updated on Sep 2023 Consider this arbitrary example: - A user pays 280 baht Food fee and 10 baht Delivery fee (for distances less than 4km). - LINE MAN takes 25% commission from the Food fee, or 70 baht. - LINE MAN pays drivers 77.32 baht (55 + 7.2*3.1) The “Unit Economics” for LINE MAN is 70 + 10 - 77.32 or 2.68 baht. Question 1 (Strategies): You need to improve the unit economics. What strategies can you think of to improve the unit economics? Think of as many strategies as you can but explain clearly how each strategy improves the unit economics. Question 2 (Implementation): Describe how each of the strategies should be implemented in terms of product development. Question 3 (Prioritization): Prioritize your top 2 ideas assuming that LINE MAN is looking for quick wins. Quick wins clearly improve the Unit Economics, but are lower in effort and faster in time-to-market.
