Are third-party delivery partners helping or hindering your bottom line? When multiple retailers are aggregated within a single platform, competition is based on margins rather than service or quality. This is especially damaging for grocers in our current economic climate. Some recent initiatives — like the partnership between UberEats and Instacart — are making things even more difficult for grocers to appeal to consumers on a service or convenience basis. The increased competition for high-convenience and high-margin grocery items like meal kits, ready-to-go foods, and prepared meals is taking away an area of sales that have traditionally been lucrative for grocers.

E-Food & Quick Commerce: Just Eat Takeaway.com UK 🇬🇧 profits jumped in the first half of 2024 as the rapid delivery firm continued to scale its grocery business, schreibt die Grocery Gazette: Adjusted EBITDA in the UK and Ireland, which made up over a quarter (27%) of Just Eat orders, improved by 64% to £77.6m (€92m) from £47.2m (€56m) in the first half of 2023.
