Need honest advice from founders/operators.
We’re building a hyperlocal delivery platform in a smaller Pakistani market, delivering food, groceries, medicines, bakery items, and daily essentials.
One thing we strongly believe in:
Customers should pay actual shop prices, while delivery charges remain transparent separately.
The challenge now is scaling sustainably.
Not every vendor is willing to give commission, WhatsApp operations create leakage issues, and building proper systems without major funding is difficult.
I genuinely want to understand:
What options do I have to take this business to the next level and move it in the right direction?
Would really appreciate guidance regarding:
• Scaling strategies
• Revenue models
• Vendor systems
• Customer retention
• Moving beyond WhatsApp
• Mentorship opportunities
Would love to learn from people who’ve built marketplaces, logistics, or service businesses.
