Dispatch Goods Updates: Launch with Doordash, MoM Growth
Hi Planet Lovers!
We know it's been a while, and we are SO EXCITED to send along some updates that should make you smile.
1. In August, we restructured our model to integrate directly into the restaurant checkout process. Customers pay an extra fee to request our reusable packaging when ordering takeout, and Dispatch handles the collection, processing, and redistribution. Depending on the restaurant, between 5-15% of customers are selecting our packaging when available, and it's generally THE MOST selected modifier on the menu. It's beating avocado, plant-based meats, and gluten-free menu options. That's HUGE!
2. In September, we launched a single restaurant pilot with Doordash and Square Pie Guys' pizza. Since that launched, we've worked to keep up with the increasing inventory demand! The number of reusable containers purchased for Square Pie Guys are as follows:
August: 117
September: 464
October: 564
We've placed a large inventory order, and when that arrives, we will expand to a waitlist of restaurants. Amazing!
3. Our B2B partners are coming back around, and we look forward to placing our Dispatch Goods reusable bins in offices again soon!
4. We are growing nearly every week, despite the fact that we are inventory constrained so unable to quickly add restaurants. We look forward to explosive growth as soon as our next inventory shipment arrives.
Thank you all for your patience as we've navigated the "new normal." We've found that COVID has only increased the urgency of a circular solution to waste, and we are excited that we've been able to support consumers' transition to a less wasteful takeout experience!
With all of the gratitude in the world,
Lindsey + The MOTIVATED Dispatch Goods Team
