Where the drop-off actually is

The single highest-yield change for most stores in this market is showing the delivery date before checkout rather than after. It removes the reason people leave to go and check.

Winning a customer costs money and selling to them again costs almost nothing, and most budgets are spent as though the reverse were true. For a grocery or food store in the UAE, the answer turns on one thing in particular: Grocery margins are thin and baskets are large, so the whole model lives or dies on delivery cost per order.
