The Strategic Marketing Audit has been prepared ahead of the launch of UE in Brisbane and will present two preliminary strategic objectives in order for the firm to succeed in its entry in this new market. Firstly, the two primary target segments were identified as the most profitable and sustainable in the customer analysis ­ the Young Professionals and the High­end Restaurants. The Young Professionals ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ represent the service receiving segment and the High­end Restaurants represent the service offering end ​ ​ segment. A competitor analysis also revealed two direct competitors, Deliveroo and Foodora and three indirect competitors, Menulog, Eatnow.com and Delivery Hero. Using the Competitor Strength Grid it was revealed that UberEATS was the only direct competitor to utilise drivers and vehicles for distribution. The market and submarket analysis revealed that the overall market is relatively attractive due to promising growth. More specifically the emerging submarkets that were revealed were, vegetarianism, alcohol delivery and utilising the existing app as a search and discovery tool for consumers.

Zomato and Swiggy have emerged as clear leaders in the food ordering space in India. We find Zomato’s asset light model (no delivery fleet) more sustainable. Also, Zomato’s captive user and restaurant base gives it an edge in food ordering. Valuations of listed players, after correcting for the past two years, have started to inch up again. Zomato’s valuation in its previous funding round may now appear optically high in that backdrop.

Corporate climbers and busy families living in the inner-suburbs are identified as our targeted audience, based on the segments’ size, profitability and accessibility. UberEATS’ direct competitors all receive considerable financial backing. This allows them to strongly position themselves in an Australian market which has seen recent growth, thanks largely to innovative technology. However, this will not deter UberEATS, as proven success in other major Australian cities indicates that the food delivery submarket is a healthy industry. However, there are strategic uncertainties to consider, mainly the wealth of competition that the pick-up and delivery service industries possess. This will require UberEATS to frequently assess their market position, and adapt to market changes with innovative strategies. Customers already associate Uber with superior value over competitors, through brand familiarity, accessibility and reliability. In order to maintain this value and appeal to wider audiences, UberEATS needs to consider current consumer trends, such as a healthy lifestyle and social/environmental responsibility. With these factors in mind, this plan highlights the proposed implementation of 3 objectives, which will energise and differentiate the brand, and reward customer loyalty.
