Would you use this (i will not promote)
Hey everyone, I’ve been working on an idea and wanted to see if this is something people would actually use, either as a customer or as a small business owner.
The idea is basically a local marketplace app focused on small businesses.
Customers could:
- Discover local businesses nearby
- Order products online
- Schedule services
- Choose pickup or local delivery
- Follow businesses and get promotions/notifications
Businesses could:
- Create their own storefront/profile
- Upload products/services
- Manage inventory automatically
- Track orders and analytics
- Build an online presence without needing their own app or website
For delivery, businesses could either:
- use their own drivers
- or integrate with services like Uber Parcel
The goal is mainly to help small businesses:
- get discovered more easily
- manage inventory/orders better
- and build a customer base locally
As a customer, would you use something like this?
As a business owner:
Would this solve any real problems for you?
What features would you want most?
What would stop you from using it?
Also:
What do you not like about current platforms like DoorDash, Uber Eats, Shopify, Square, etc.?
