In the current scenario of coronavirus spread and curfew by the government of KSA to ensure the safety of Riyadians, one of the major issues that people in Riyadh are facing traveling to supermarkets to buy groceries. The trend of online grocery has increased during this time but Riyadians are facing lots of issues for example delays in the delivery, missing products, and others.
- Create online surveys (Using Survey Monkey or Google Forms) and collect information from people in Riyadh about their current experience of online grocery shopping.
- Write a detailed finding based on the data collected
- Identify which online grocery retailers are doing good and which are not doing good and why?
- Suggest effective marketing distribution strategies for the companies not doing good
- Please note that the first one to two paragraphs of your project should include details about Corona, its history, effects and its entry into KSA affecting various circles of lives, and finally the increasing demand for grocery and its impact on the quality of online services.

Examples of supermarkets in Riyadh are AlTamimi, Danube, Panda , AlOthaim, Lulu Hypermarket and Carrefour
Examples of applications that deliver Jahez (delivery for panda but the problem is that they offer baskets of specific products you can’t buy what you want individually) other application is wassel (they deliver alothaim and lulu hypermarket you can choose the products individually but you only can order from alothaim between 3-11 and lulu hypermarket from 2-11:30) other application is Hungerstation (they deliver for Panda not baskets like jahez, you can choose products individually but they have limited products only the essentials). Other example is Khodar and more app (they send someone to the supermarket to collect your order and deliver it for you but the problem is that they take the payment from the initial order bill, when the driver go to the supermarket and didn’t find specific things you ordered, he cancel it from the bill and when he deliver the order to your home he gives you CASH which must be prevented in corona situation and also he does not contact you to ask you if you want alternative). other example is Nana which i prefer and recommend (they deliver for Tamimi, panda and carrefour. they don’t deliver on the same day they give you a date depending on availability maybe tomorrow or after tomorrow or a week. but what make them unique is that they send a person to the supermarket to collect your order and if there is anything sold out he contact you and ask you if you want to cancel it or put any alternatives, and if you want to add something you missed or remove something you can. and after he finishes he issue the bill and take the payment from your card.
All the supermarkets have applications but not all deliver to your home. Tamimi they have a service where they prepare your basket depending on your order and then you have to come to the supermarket and take your groceries or send someone to take it they don’t deliver only prepare. Panda application they deliver to your home but you can’t order what you want individually they offer several baskets each basket contains different products. Carrefour also deliver. Alothaim and Danube application i didn’t used them search about them.
Also there are applications like Mrasool and Shgardi they don’t have specific supermarkets you hire a driver and tell him to go anywhere you want whether a restaurant a supermarket…. I prefer them because you send a driver on the same time you ordered him. he go directly to the supermarket you don’t have to wait for delivery time. he contact you directly on your phone and you give him the orders if there are anything sold out he tell you. And they take the payment via credit card not cash.
In Riyadh you have to use these apps because of the quarantine, people can’t go out if they go out they pay 10000SAR financial penalty only the drivers of these apps can go out because they have declaration.
