NEW INTERVIEW: UberEats, SkipTheDishes, & Food Delivery Business Models

This was one of our favourite interviews on food delivery

$TKWY $DASH $UBER
In logistics markets (US, Canada, Aus), platforms are moving to parity in terms of selection, pricing, delivery time, etc.

How can $UBER or $DASH differentiate? Image
3 potential areas:

1) Building brand equity
2) Subscriptions (eg. Dashpass)
3) New product categories (eg. convenience, grocery, meds, etc) ImageImage
One core insight was that marketplace network effects are different.

Restos are family run, with huge volume from $tkwy or $grub driving stickiness.

PLUS: family members typically run delivery. This is not a 'true' variable cost for them. Image
''I think there are actually really strong network effects in core marketplace areas, like New York and Chicago.''

If you're doing 40% of your sales through $tkwy, how risky is it to switch to a diff platform? Image
A big question for the industry is:

'if you do your own in-house delivery today, will you switch to logistics?' Image
We discuss unit economics, tipping, $TKWY strategy, and a lot more.

Naked Wines is 'arming the rebels' just as Shopify is in e-commerce

This can be explained by the income statement of Willamette Valley Vineyards, a small US-listed winery

$WINE.LN Image
COGS = $9.5m or 38% of sales

This is expenditure on the actual fruit and wine production which arguably defines the quality of the product
S&M = $7.5m = 30% of sales
G&A = $4m = 16% of sales

= ~46% of sales spent on cost items NOT directly related to product quality.

The unit economics of low cost gyms are amazing

I've been playing with some numbers for The Gym Group

$GYM.LN Image
Gyms require high fixed costs to build and equip the facilities.

A core driver of the high returns = asset utilisation

The more your asset turns, the higher your ROIC.
Low cost gyms maximise asset utilisation in three core ways:

1) 24/7 open times
2) 1-3 FTE per gym
3) Bare essentials; no pool, sauna, 'fluffy towels'

This maximises revenue and reduces opex per sqft

The history of Just Eat in Canada highlights the importance of understanding whether a market is a 'marketplace' or 'logistics' market

$TKWY $UBER $DASH
Just Eat completely folded their marketplace as $uber entered and gobbled up mkt share
It's a mix of culture and density that determines if restaurants do own delivery

Own delivery = 'marketplace' market
No-delivery = 'logistics' market

NEW INTERVIEW: Intuitive Surgical: Selling $2m da Vinci Robots

''you have to sit surgeons on the technology. Nine out of 10 times, if you can get them on a robot, it blows their mind''

$ISRG
Hospitals mainly buy da Vinci's to keep their best surgeons

Surgeons happy = hospital keeps the procedures = revenue retention
The major economic benefit for the hospital using da Vinci's is the reduction in patient bed days = huge cost savings.

$CDON vs other marketplaces globally:

the highest GMV growth
lowest take rate
lowest penetration of core markets
AND lowest fwd EV / GMV multiple which is <1
However, it's unclear if slowdown in $CDON 3P GMV was $amzn or more the supply issues quoted by mgmt
Also, if you're $AMZN EMEA VP - what do you focus on?

Nordics - difficult geog / logistics, much further from Ger AMZN stronghold, v diff language / culture

OR

Poland: bigger market, faster and larger GMV growth, existing warehouses, close to Ger?
