Few notes on Cat Rock presentation on Just Eat & Online Food Delivery

$JET.LN
Network effects = high margins and winner takes all dynamics
Logistics players hoovered up supply to widen selection and disrupted fat marketplace margins

Similar to how $amzn disrupted $ebay by owning more of customer journey
CR argue incumbent marketplaces have comp advantage in offering what customers want:

selection + low fees + good UX

This leads to higher mkt share for incumbents with high marketplace penetration
One thing is clear = these are very local markets

You can't generalise due to density, mkt structure / history, culture
It's harder for logistics players to enter marketplace versus incumbent marketplaces entering logistics

It's HARD to recruit restaurants already on $JET $GRUB
The stickiness and loyalty of restaurants to their incumbent marketplace seems very high due to operational complexity

inpractise.com/articles/uber-…
Online food customers are STICKY

Higher CAC to recruit new customers
TEV/GMV or TEV/Rev are both incorrect measures to use

Not every $1 revenue is equal if $UBER and DoorDosh are selling bills at 50c

Gross Profit or EBITDA per order is better indicator
CR sees a HUGE runway for $JET

'simple math' implies 35% of population can afford $20 AOV 2.5x per month?

Seems like this would have to be much lower to compete with grocery
Interesting chart on how $JET is cheap relative to other fast growing businesses and relative history
10x return with 35% penetration and 35% margins = 135bn equity value

9.5x MOIC in 10 years

Great deck and fascinating industry.

It will be interesting to see how aggressive $uber / dd will be in recruiting incumbent incumbents on $jet $grub

Another point to add that CR didn't mention was that for this to 10x at 35% penetration there needs to be real mkt share won from grocery

this likely requires higher density, lower fees, lower total AOV

NEW INTERVIEW: Accenture: Culture of Client-Centricity

"The only way you can consistently bring clients value is by self-disrupting and subordinating your own peace of mind and internal stability to the well-being of your client."

Accenture's revenue mix has shifted mainly from application mgmt and development to platform integration today
Accenture has the DNA and ability to self-destruct to reinvent the business and stay close to customers

NEW INTERVIEW: New Relic vs Datadog

Datadog used to partner with New Relic. Before riding the cloud migration wave and bypassing New Relic to become the largest competitor

Image
Datadog started at the infrastructure layer which underpins the whole tech stack.

It's easier for Datadog to bolt on APM and logs than add infrastructure monitoring. Image
Enterprises prefer to use one devops vendor, especially in a multi-cloud or hybrid world.

The industry will consolidate to a few large bundled solutions. Image

Great essay from @BlasMoros on some fundamentals of organisational behaviour and hierarchies. Something interesting starts to happen to businesses that flip the hierarchy - where senior leadership acts to support and serve front-line employees.

secureservercdn.net/166.62.107.55/…Λ.pdf Image
“Hierarchies are nature’s fundamental organizing structure – robust and efficient => See the foundation of the pyramid for what it is – the most important”
“If you are looking to change a system, a helpful tool in this process is to observe its long-term behavior.” Image
