Product Management Trade-Off Question: Prioritizing restaurant expansion or delivery speed for Baemin food delivery app

Introduction

The trade-off between expanding Baemin's restaurant selection and improving delivery speed for existing partners is a critical decision for Woowa Brothers. This scenario involves balancing growth with operational efficiency in the competitive food delivery market. I'll analyze this trade-off by examining the business context, user impact, technical feasibility, and resource implications to provide a strategic recommendation.

Analysis Approach

I'd like to start by asking a few clarifying questions to ensure we're aligned on the key aspects of this trade-off. Then, I'll walk you through my analysis framework, covering product understanding, hypothesis formation, metrics identification, experiment design, and decision-making process.

Step 1

Clarifying Questions (3 minutes)

  • Context: I'm assuming Baemin is facing increased competition. Is this driving the need to choose between expansion and speed improvement?

Why it matters: Helps prioritize based on market pressures Expected answer: Yes, competition is intensifying Impact on approach: Would lean towards expansion if competition is aggressively growing

  • Business Context: How does our current revenue split between new user acquisition and existing user retention?

Why it matters: Informs whether to focus on growth or loyalty Expected answer: 60% from existing users, 40% from new users Impact on approach: Higher existing user revenue would prioritize speed improvement

  • User Impact: What's our current user satisfaction score for delivery speed versus restaurant variety?

Why it matters: Identifies the most pressing user need Expected answer: Speed satisfaction is lower than variety satisfaction Impact on approach: Would prioritize speed improvement if it's a significant pain point

  • Technical: What's our current delivery time and how much improvement do we believe is technically feasible?

Why it matters: Determines the potential impact of speed improvements Expected answer: Current average is 45 minutes, can potentially reduce to 35 minutes Impact on approach: Significant potential improvement would favor speed focus

  • Resources: Do we have more capacity in our partner onboarding team or our logistics optimization team?

Why it matters: Helps align the strategy with our current capabilities Expected answer: More capacity in partner onboarding Impact on approach: Would lean towards expansion if we have the team to support it
