Sounds like an interesting proposition by integrating directly with existing supermarkets like REWE and Edeka.

Any plans to jump on the < 30 min delivery services, e.g. Gorillas/Getir/Flink/Weezy etc to get me the produce for a meal now?

Great question! So far we’ve experimented with the quick commerce players mostly to cover for out of stock items from the bigger grocers. E.g. if the grocer was out of tomatoes at the point of delivery, we offer our users the option to have the out of stock item delivered by a quick commerce service around the same time of the main delivery.

The majority of our current users seem to prefer one big grocery delivery per week. Because the benefit of having the planning and shopping done a few days in advance means that it prevents decision making on the other days.

Having said that, we believe that shorter times from planning to actual delivery are still key in the user experience. So same day delivery and pickup options by the grocers help to improve the overall experience.

That's an amazing way to leverage in those awkward situations when the traditional grocery shops fail to deliver (which happens a lot from experience).

Will be def signing up to this service at some point.

p.s. I reported a bug to the email listed on your home page.

Thank you! Looking forward to serving you in the near future.
