Which restaurant performs well on Glovo?
Here are some concepts that work well:
- La simplicité: Keep it straightforward and easy to understand.
- La cohérence: Maintain a consistent tone and style.
- L'authenticité: Be genuine and true to your brand.
- L'interaction: Encourage engagement with your audience.
- La narration: Tell stories that resonate with your audience.
Cuisine snacking and quick
Burgers, sandwiches, salads, bowls: these concepts fit the "quick craving" logic of the Glovo audience.
Ethnic cuisine popular. Tacos, pizzas, Asian: the culinary diversity corresponds to Glovo’s urban public.
Photogenic concepts Glovo emphasizes the visual. A modern concept with a strong identity performs better than a traditional cuisine that is less “Instagrammable”.
Less suitable concepts
Gastronomic restoration The Glovo audience is not the target. Prefer Deliveroo for this positioning.
Very local, traditional cuisine. Except for a specific community clientele, Glovo’s multi-category approach dilutes the message of authenticity.
High tickets (>40 €) The public is looking for snacking. Difficult to sell high baskets.
Optimize your Glovo profile
Eye-catching photos
Even more than on other platforms, visuals matter on Glovo. Invest in professional, modern photos, not just appetizing ones.
Short and impactful descriptions
The Glovo audience scrolls quickly. A concise description of 2 lines maximum is better than a detailed paragraph.
Adapted pricing
The lowest average ticket implies more accessible unit prices. Adjust your offer to propose items at €8-15 that correspond to a quick individual meal.
Active Promotions
Glovo’s audience is very responsive to promotions. -20% on a dish, free delivery over 20€: these levers work particularly well.

Glovo has some peculiarities in its management:
Short turnaround times
Glovo customers expect to receive their orders quickly (often less than 30 minutes). Your kitchen must be able to handle this pace.
Erratic volumes
Glovo peaks are often more intense than on Uber/Deliveroo: lunchtime, late afternoon (snacking), dinner. Anticipate these peaks with appropriate preparation.
Client communication
Glovo allows customers to communicate directly through the app. Responsiveness is required to answer questions and confirm changes.
Conditions commerciales
Commission marketplace: 25-35% generally. Slightly higher than the competition on average.
Promotional co-funding: Glovo offers co-funded campaigns during certain periods (back-to-school, summer, holidays). Take advantage of them when they are available.
Installation fees: generally modest or included in onboarding.
Glovo vs Uber Eats vs Deliveroo
Glovo is a Spanish company that operates in several countries across Europe, Latin America, and Africa. It distinguishes itself by offering a broader range of services beyond just food delivery, including grocery shopping, pharmacy deliveries, and even package delivery. Think of it as a "everything delivery" platform.
Uber Eats, as the name suggests, is part of the Uber ecosystem. It focuses primarily on food delivery, partnering with restaurants to bring their meals to customers. While it’s expanding into other areas like groceries in some markets, its core remains food.
Deliveroo is a British company that initially focused heavily on restaurant delivery. It has since expanded its offerings to include grocery delivery and other convenience services, but still maintains a strong emphasis on restaurant partnerships.
Here's a quick comparison table:
| Feature | Glovo | Uber Eats | Deliveroo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Service | Everything Delivery | Food Delivery | Food Delivery |
| Scope | Broad (groceries, pharmacy, etc.) | Primarily Food | Primarily Food |
| Geographic Reach | Extensive (Europe, Latin America, Africa) | Growing (Global) | Strong in Europe |
| Pricing | Can vary significantly by location | Competitive | Competitive |
Which is best?
It really depends on your needs and location.
- Glovo is a good choice if you want a single app for a wide variety of delivery needs.
- Uber Eats is a solid option for convenient food delivery, especially if you already use Uber for transportation.
- Deliveroo is a strong contender, particularly in Europe, and offers a good selection of restaurants.
Ultimately, it's worth checking which service is available in your area and comparing their menus and delivery fees.
If you need to prioritize between the three, here is our recommendation:
| Profile | Preferred Platforms |
|---|---|
| Snacking, young, urban | Glovo + Uber Eats |
| Family, general public | Uber Eats + Deliveroo |
| High-end, CSP+ | Deliveroo + Uber Eats |
| Fast food, large city | All three |
| City restaurant, medium-sized city | Uber Eats primarily |
The interest of being on the three
If your profile allows it (cuisine delivery-friendly, experienced team), being on all three platforms simultaneously maximizes your overall visibility. With an aggregator like Pepprio, the additional operational cost is very low.
Aggregation to manage Glovo + others
Glovo, Uber Eats and Deliveroo each have their own app, their dashboard, and their logic. Without an aggregator, managing the three simultaneously is heavy.
Pepprio centralizes orders from three (and other) platforms onto a single interface. You immediately see which platform generates the most orders, the average basket per channel, and your profitability per platform.
Measuring Glovo Performance
1. Introduction
Glovo is a global platform offering a wide range of services – from food delivery to grocery shopping and pharmacy orders – all within a single app. Understanding how effectively Glovo is performing is crucial for its continued growth and success. This document outlines key metrics and methodologies for measuring Glovo’s performance across various dimensions.
2. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Order Volume: The total number of orders placed through the Glovo platform. This provides a basic indication of user demand.
- Order Completion Rate: The percentage of orders successfully delivered to the customer. A low completion rate indicates issues with logistics, rider availability, or order accuracy.
- Average Delivery Time: The average time taken to deliver an order from placement to customer receipt. This is a critical factor in customer satisfaction.
- Customer Satisfaction (CSAT): Measured through post-delivery surveys, assessing customer happiness with the entire experience.
- Net Promoter Score (NPS): Gauges customer loyalty and willingness to recommend Glovo to others.
- Rider Performance: Metrics like deliveries per hour, acceptance rate of orders, and average delivery time per rider.
- Restaurant Performance: Metrics such as order volume, average order value, and customer ratings for restaurants on the platform.
- Cost per Delivery: The total cost associated with fulfilling a single delivery, including rider compensation, logistics, and platform fees.
- Revenue per User: The average revenue generated by each Glovo user.
- Churn Rate: The rate at which users stop using the Glovo app.
3. Data Sources
- Glovo Platform Database: Contains detailed information on all orders, deliveries, and user activity.
- Customer Surveys: Collected through in-app surveys and email campaigns.
- Rider Apps: Track rider performance and delivery times.
- Restaurant POS Systems: Provide data on order volume and revenue.
- Third-Party Analytics Tools: Used for tracking website traffic, app usage, and user behavior.
4. Analysis and Reporting
Data collected from these sources will be analyzed to identify trends, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement. Regular reports will be generated to track KPIs and provide insights to Glovo’s management team. These reports will include visualizations (charts and graphs) to effectively communicate key findings.
5. Future Considerations
- A/B Testing: Conducting experiments to test different features and strategies to optimize performance.
- Machine Learning: Utilizing machine learning algorithms to predict demand, optimize delivery routes, and personalize the user experience.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Implementing a system for real-time monitoring of key metrics to quickly identify and address issues.
Key metrics to track:
- Monthly order volume
- Average basket (often 15-22 € on Glovo)
- Average rating (target > 4.3)
- Cancellation rate (target < 3 %)
- Net margin (after commission)
If after 3 months Glovo generates less than 30 orders/month, its relevance is questionable. Beyond 100 orders/month, it’s a relevant channel.
Voici la conclusion :
Il est donc clair que l'intégration de l'IA dans le secteur de la santé présente à la fois des opportunités et des défis. Si l'IA peut améliorer le diagnostic, personnaliser les traitements et optimiser les soins aux patients, elle soulève également des questions éthiques importantes concernant la confidentialité des données, la responsabilité et l'équité.
Il est crucial de développer des réglementations et des directives claires pour garantir que l'IA est utilisée de manière responsable et éthique dans le secteur de la santé. Cela implique de garantir la transparence des algorithmes, de protéger la vie privée des patients et de veiller à ce que les bénéfices de l'IA soient accessibles à tous, indépendamment de leur origine ou de leur statut socio-économique.
De plus, il est essentiel de former les professionnels de la santé à l'utilisation de l'IA et de les impliquer dans le processus de développement et de déploiement de ces technologies. L'IA ne doit pas remplacer les médecins, mais plutôt les aider à prendre des décisions plus éclairées et à fournir des soins de meilleure qualité.
En fin de compte, l'avenir de la santé sera façonné par la collaboration entre l'homme et la machine. En abordant les défis et en exploitant les opportunités de l'IA de manière responsable, nous pouvons créer un système de santé plus efficace, plus équitable et plus centré sur le patient.
Glovo has a place in the French delivery stack for certain restaurant profiles. The good match between your concept and the Glovo audience determines profitability.
If you decide to activate Glovo in addition to Uber Eats and Deliveroo, equip yourself with an aggregator like Pepprio from the start. Otherwise, the operational complexity will quickly outweigh the benefits.
