$3,400 x 55%Delivery= $1870
$1870/ $17ticket average= 110 Deliveries
110 Deliveries x 12 min. Delivery time= 1320mins. of drive time
1320/60mins. in an hour= 22 hours of delivery time
Hmmmm. It’s possible… maybe dave was open 24 hours on Friday. :lol:
Not quite on the mark there, td_VP192
Opened from 5pm to 11pm with driver knocking off at 10pm (end of school party he had to attend).
Deliveries = driver 15 plus I did about 7 = 22. Only did close local area due to lack of drivers and explained to customers from other areas why we couldn’t deliver to them that night. Only lost 2 sales from this all night with the thers converting to pick up.
Average delivery ticket about price $32 (hey we don’t do cheapo prices
) = $704 = 21% of total sales
Average delivery time about 20 - 25 minutes (each time a double delivery)
Our aveage delivery to total orders is about 25 - 30% as we have turned a lot of customers from getting deliveries to store pick up. Did this due to long running problem with getting drivers. Most customers now know and understand the situation especially as it has been in the papers so much and Domino’s have been taking full page newspaper adverts for drivers as well as rodaside signs etc.
As a side note Eagle Boy’s Pizzas, an Australian based franchise is having a meeting this week and number 1 item on the agenda is delivery driver shortage and the future viability of deliveries. Apparently the driver shortage is not only confined to Western Australia with our mining and resources boom, but now right across Australia. One local operator (close competitor) who I am talking with about buying his equipment from a second store he is closing said he can’t get drivers for the love of money. No-one is interested at any level of pay he is offering. His good store is about 5 km from mine.
Anyway I didn’t need the small bus after this weekend of half my staff away - just a shot of valium, a straight jacket, two bottles of fine Western Australian wine and a nice padded cell at the local police station.
I think they may have sent me home in the small bus, though :? Geethe driver looked like Nick.
