you can do 100 orders with 25 riders that do 25 each.
or you can do 100 orders with 100 riders, each doing 1.
problem is: delivery is about peak demand. so you dont really have an option at all.
uber (and tb) is just too stupid to learn and understand the business of logistics and delivery. even after billions of dollars and 10 years in the market, they havent learned anything.
the ai is just exposing how stupid of a company they have been al along.
Meal delivery has failed to make money for investors. Restaurants run on notoriously low margins and delivery platforms run on restaurants. You can’t pluck a bald chicken, and ai will not change that.
Not only will ai not make meal delivery a high margins business, it will make things worse for delivery companies like uber. Meal delivery is a highly specialized job and riders have a lot of agency over the work. Forcing riders to adhere to a manipulative ai will not work. Without adequate pay expert delivery workers will simply slow down their work effort.
It seems that the corporate delivery industry that is made up of companies like ubereats, deliveroo and takeaway has come to its logical conclusion: the end of corporate food delivery by ai.
What companies will take their place?
