First insights in days

01 · The problem

Site planning ran on screenshots and a marker

Every new location started the same way: a map screenshot, a hand-drawn circle where the delivery area “probably” was, and population numbers stitched together from open sources.

It took days per site. And the hardest question — how much would a new store steal from the ones nearby? — stayed a guess until months after opening.

An actual workflow: zone drawn by hand, reach unknown

“Estimating a new site meant screenshots, spreadsheets and a marker. It took days — and we still weren’t sure.”

Cannibalisation, forecast before the lease

  1. 1

    Pick a candidate address

    Any address on the map — a vacant unit, a rumored competitor site, a dark-kitchen slot.

  2. 2

    Model its delivery area

    Getplace predicts the real coverage the new store would get on each platform.

  3. 3

    Forecast the overlap

    See how many people the new zone shares with every existing store — and how many orders move.

  4. 4

    Decide with numbers

    Net network gain, per-store impact, population coverage — on one screen before the lease.
