This edition focuses on health and safety in the workplace, and should provoke some reflection on how we can ensure that our people thrive at work. Despite what some commentators might say, franchising is a fantastic success story. As a business model, it offers the ability for enterprising people to work in their own independent, local, small business, while not being on their own. Notwithstanding the fact that franchise systems offer support and training to their franchise partners, as independent business owners they have separate responsibilities regarding health and safety in the workplace. One issue that we have consistently received feedback on has been mental health. The two key questions that have been raised are: • How do we deal with franchise partners suffering with their own mental health issues? • How do we support franchise partners who, in turn, may have to deal with their employees suffering from a mental health issue? FCA CEO Damian Paull Mental health is an area that I am passionate about, and according to Heads Up, the prevalence of mental health issues • Although anxiety and depression can be as debilitating is likely to be higher in small business. as a serious physical illness, less than half of the people experiencing these conditions seek help.

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.

  • Submission to the CMA on Deliveroo
    CCIA’s submission to the UK Competition & Markets Authority on the CMA’s provisional findings in Amazon / Deliveroo 11 May 2020 1. Introduction The Computer and Communications Industry Association (“CCIA”) is grateful for this opportunity to share its views on the Competition & Markets Authority (“CMA”) provisional findings regarding Amazon’s acquisition of a minority shareholding in Deliveroo (“the Transaction”).1 CCIA represents large, medium, and small companies in the high technology products and services sectors, including computer hardware and software, electronic commerce, telecommunications, and Internet products and services.2 CCIA is committed to protecting and advancing the interests of our members, the industry as a whole, as well as society’s beneficial interest in open markets, open systems and open networks.3 CCIA agrees with the conclusion of the Provisional Findings that the Transaction would not be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition.4 However, CCIA believes there is significant evidence of competitive constraints faced by both Amazon and Deliveroo (the “Parties”), and the dynamic nature of the markets. Accordingly, CCIA submits that, even in the absence of the current crisis,5 the Transaction would not have resulted in a substantial lessening of competition (“SLC”) and would not have harmed customers.6 2. Competitive Constraint of Potential Entry and Expansion In its 11 December 2019 Phase I decision,7 the CMA found an SLC to the detriment of customers and referred the case for an in-depth investigation. As the CMA correctly notes in its Provisional Findings, “[a]n SLC occurs when rivalry is substantially less intense after a merger than would otherwise have been the case, resulting in a worse outcome for customers (through, for example, higher prices, reduced quality or reduced choice).”8 CCIA understands that the market for online food delivery in the UK is highly competitive and likely to become more competitive in the future.

However, changes in consumer tastes and the way diners engage with restaurants, alongside increasing use of technology, provide opportunities for growth if properly harnessed The UK casual dining sector is going through a challenging period with margin pressures mounting as a result of higher labour costs, higher business rates and increased food costs. At the same time, consumer confidence is falling, with inflation and sluggish wage growth beginning to squeeze disposable incomes. Notwithstanding the challenges facing the sector, we see some key consumer trends emerging that casual dining operators can capitalise on in order to prosper in the current environment. These include a desire for more healthy eating, informal and experiential dining experiences, as well as increased consumer focus on food provenance and sustainability.
