We are living in the NOW economy, one where mobile-first consum-
ers can summon almost anything on-demand. As they experience
the convenience, flexibility, and personalization of getting what they
want, instantly, on-demand services are becoming a new standard
in how they consume.
It is imperative brands focus on the mobile-first customer experi-
ence as they try to meet the incredible rise in demand of Delivery
and Order for Pickup. However, according to consumers, delivery is
falling short:
The Rakuten Ready 2019 Time Study was launched to better under-
stand the impact of real-time consumer experiences on the growth
of Order for Pickup for top brands across QSR, Retail and Grocery.
The Rakuten Ready study sets out to capture:
• A detailed understanding of Order for Pickup wait time
	 experiences of the top brands
• How those brand experiences measure up to industry
	 benchmarks and consumer expectations
The study found that brands are already moving too slowly in this
NOW economy. With over 20% customers waiting at least 6 minutes
for their orders, the study highlights that Retail, QSR and Grocery
brands, of all sizes, must invest now in infrastructure, marketing,
training processes and technology to meet the incredible rise in
demand and popularity of Order for Pickup programs or risk losing
to their competition.

Methodology
SECTION 1
A total of 755 drive tests were executed in July and August 2019 to gather this data. In order to collect
this information, Rakuten Ready commissioned a group of test shoppers (aka “secret shoppers”) who
placed online orders (via mobile or web), and then visited 25 top grocers, retailers, and QSRs to pick up
their orders, all while capturing 16 data points to assess the order pickup experience.
The market data collected focused on the Order for Pickup experience at the following brands:
Grocery (8 companies):
Walmart Grocery
Kroger
Whole Foods
Meijer
HEB
Raley’s
Albertsons
Hy-Vee
Retail (7 companies):

Methodology
Data was gathered on 3 pickup methods:
Attended In-Store Pickup
Pickup is done in the store, and requires
the customer to interact with an employee
to retrieve their online order.
Unattended In-Store Pickup
Pickup is done inside the store at a
dedicated online order pickup area,
allowing customers to retrieve their
own orders without the help of an
employee (i.e. pickup shelves, lockers).
Curbside Pickup
Pickup is done outside the store.
Employees bring the online orders to the
customer in their car, generally parked
within reserved curbside pickup spots.
SECTION 1
2
The test orders took place within 7
states spread out across the US.
Across tens of millions of orders captured by
Rakuten Ready, the data very clearly shows that
customers who wait less than 2 minutes to receive
their order are 4 times more likely to reorder in the
future than customers who wait 10 minutes.
The critical 2 minute threshold serves as the
benchmark brands should strive for. For this study
the chosen benchmarks are 2 minutes, 4 minutes
and 6 minutes across Unattended, Attended and
Curbside pickup, respectively.
SECTION 1

Understanding The Big Picture
In order to capture a holistic view of the Order for Pickup experience, the study examined the data to
highlight how the experience translates across brands using two different dimensions.
Customer Satisfaction: Captures the overall
satisfaction rating for the customer experience
beyond wait times (i.e. parking, signage,
employee knowledge, etc).
% of Orders with Low Wait: Measures the % of
wait times less than the chosen benchmark for
each specific fulfillment type.
	 Unattended In-Store = % of wait times 	
	 less than 2 minutes
	 Attended In-Store = % of wait times less 	
	 than 4 minutes
	 Curbside = % of wait times less than
	 6 minutes

Order Ahead for pick up is growing because customers believe that
it is more convenient and that it can save them time over delivery.
Attended in-store pickup is not only beneficial for customers, it can
also drive incremental sales for brands.

Taco Bell led the QSR industry in wait
times under 2 minutes
Taco Bell was the top performer in efficiency across attended
in-store pickup. They had 80% of orders ready in less than 2
minutes and over 92% of orders completed within 4 minutes.
The average wait time at Taco Bell was 1:36.
“I arrived on-time at Taco Bell and 		
	when I walked in my order was ready. 	
	The line was short so they were able 	
	to hand it to me and I went on my way.”
Best Buy topped retailers in wait
time efficiency
At Best Buy, shoppers received their orders in less than
2 minutes almost 64% of the time while 92% of shoppers
got their orders in less than 4 minutes. The average wait
time at Best Buy was 1:52.
“Best Buy had a designated line for
	“online pickup” and an employee was 		
	there to help me when I arrived. My
	order was ready, so I was able to quickly 	
	sign for it and walk out.”

“I arrived when it said my order would be ready

Lowe’s wait times are still a work in-progress
Lowe’s ranked lowest for attended in-store pickup wait time. They were
only able to deliver 16% of orders in less than 2 minutes and only 52%
of orders were ready within 4 minutes. Lowe’s also had low qualitative
scores with secret shoppers finding some of the worst
practices consistent with previous research.

Understanding More about the Unattended
In-Store Pickup Experience
The unattended pickup experience offers customers the convenience and time savings
of not having to interact directly with employees to pickup their orders. However, it
can also be a black box for brands since this type of pickup does not allow them to fully
gauge the freshness of the orders and quality of the customer experience. For example,
if orders are placed on the order pickup shelf early, food can be cold or stale by the time
the customer arrives.
Note: The Unattended Pickup option was available with only 3 brands, and all were from
the QSR industry.

Chipotle topped the study by having customer orders ready in
less than 2 minutes over 88% of the time. Their unattended
model meant that secret shoppers didn’t need to interact with
employees and headed directly to mobile order pickup racks.
While a dedicated station was very effective at lowering wait
times, shoppers noted that food was sometimes cold and quality
had suffered.
“I arrived 4 minutes early at Chipotle and 		
	when I walked in my order was already there 		
	on the mobile order pickup rack. I was able 		
	to get it without talking to anyone.”

Curbside pickup brings additional factors into play that add operational complexity for store operations teams.
Designated parking areas or fly-through lanes are needed for Curbside Pickup. Staff must be alerted to customer
arrivals to find and greet them, where they are waiting, while delivering their order quickly and efficiently.

of orders across QSR and Grocery were

H-E-B performed well across grocery
brands
H-E-B delivered 16% of Curbside orders to customers in less
than 2 minutes but fulfilled an impressive 84% of orders within 6
minutes. H-E-B offered a solid end-to-end experience with in-app
communication, priority parking spots, prominent signage and
well-trained employees.
“I enjoyed the experience at H-E-B, they 		
	were busy but I found a parking spot and

While they performed at the bottom of the study, the issues
experienced were not unique to just them.
“The overall Albertsons experience was 		
	 bad. The app was hard to use and when
	 I arrived at the store, the pickup parking 	
	 spots were in the back of the store...
	 It was dark and isolated. Not sure how

Wait Time is Not the Only Metric
The Time Study data clearly reveals that brands today have a lot of work to do to
optimize Order for Pickup programs, especially wait times. In general, there’s a lack of
understanding and sense of urgency about:
• How long their customers are waiting to pick up an order and,
• The long-term impact the customer perception has on their brand
If you’re not measuring and understanding wait times, how can you adapt to
the expectations of today’s customers? The time to focus on the efficiency of
your Order for Pickup program, is NOW.
SECTION 5
of customers rated “my order is ready on-time”
as the most important when rating in-store
pickup experiences.
Previous research from Rakuten Ready uncovered that
95%
Again, customers who waited less than the “magic mark” of 2 minutes
to pick up their order were
to order again as loyal customers.4X more likely
16
In 2019, 73% of customers point to experience
as a critical factor in their purchasing
decisions, behind value and product quality.
Nearly 80% of American consumers point to
speed, convenience, knowledgeable help
and friendly service as the most important
elements of a positive customer experience.
(source: PwC Future of Customer Experience Survey 2018).
The Expectations Gap is Widening
It is clear from the study that the speed at which the customer’s expectations are
evolving is outpacing the evolution of brand infrastructure to support them. Logistics,
training methods and standard processes are being stressed to the breaking point,
with many obviously cracking in the attempt to keep up.
Many brands would benefit from taking the time to step back, assess and re-imagine
the end-to-end customer experience, especially with Order for Pickup.
SECTION 5

18
But the Order for Pickup experience does also require
thinking beyond just wait times.
The mobile-first customer journey definitely requires an
innovative, convenient and flexible pickup strategy that
stretches beyond traditional infrastructure and includes
the ingredients that define a successful end-to-end
experience that NOW customers expect.
Based on our study results, we propose the following
pillars as best practices brands attempting to build and
nurture a world-class Order for Pickup program.
Wait Times Alone Don’t Define Success
SECTION 5
The Secrets to a
Winning Order for Pickup
Program
SECTION 6
19
Prioritize Short Customer Wait Time
“I don’t like waiting,
	especially if I’m already
	hungry. I’ll go and get it.
	I can get it quicker if i go, 		
	but they better have my
	order ready.”
Winning retailers are prioritizing wait time as a service and a quantifiable
metric in the customer experience. But, low wait times are already table
stakes in today’s Order for Pickup programs.
As we noted, even among the highest performing brands in our study, wait
times and experiences varied at different locations and even in the same
location, at different times of the day. Brands need to follow a blueprint
that evolves traditional models for an on-demand, mobile-first world that
performs consistently, regardless of location, staff or time of day.
You must make wait time analytics a priority as you embark on building
your customer journey.
SECTION 6
20
Evolve your Infrastructure
Something as simple as the location of customer pick-up, signage
or the absence of a dedicated parking spot can have a serious
impact on customers’ impression of your brand. Ensuring exclusive
parking spots or a designated parking area for mobile order custom-
ers will not only lower wait times, but will have a positive impact on
customer perception.
The customer’s expectations don’t stop once they park. If a
customer enters the premises and is unclear on where to go,
they’re likely to feel confused or anxious.
The bottom line is that the better the overall experience, the
more time you save customers and the more likely they are to
order from you again.
“The curbside pickup area was behind 	
	the store, it was dark and in the alley. 	
	It felt dangerous and not well thought 	
	out. I’m hesitant to shop here again”
SECTION 6
21
Empower your Employees
Human-to-human interaction has a direct impact on the customer’s
experience. Proper staffing and training is critical to the success of
any order for pickup program. No brand is perfect, but training and
empowering a capable frontline staff is paramount.
An engaged and knowledgeable employee who can fulfill the
order right away or fix any issues with a smile goes a long way
towards the overall perception of the experience. Those brands
who employ trained customer-facing staff in the last mile, those
who truly understand how to manage and process online orders,
will make all the difference.
“I had to ask for help as the cashier did
	not acknowledge me the first few 	 	
	minutes, she had to ask a manager for
	help as she’s not trained to handle
	online orders. I was confused why she 	
	couldn’t help me”
SECTION 6
22
Don’t Forget to Promote
Just building an Order for Pickup program and releasing it
into the market isn’t enough.
To win, brands must launch dedicated marketing campaigns
focused on capturing the growth opportunity while ensur-
ing the program is communicated it to both customers and
employees.
“I had a great experience when I
	picked up my groceries but they 	
	seemed confused. My order was 	
	ready and they were friendly, but 	
	even some of the employees told 	
	me the program was new and 		
	they didn’t even know it existed.”
SECTION 6
23
Improve your Technology
It is important to understand that leading technology is
critical to your Order for Pickup future, but technology alone
will not be enough. As the growth in adoption skyrockets,
Order for Pickup will quickly strain your infrastructure, drive
costs higher and cause serious inefficiencies without
modernization at every level.
To thrive and survive, evaluating the right technology is much
more than simply adding-on to your existing POS systems, it
must be part of your overall brand strategy.
“Because of the evolution of technology, a 		
	few years ago i had to do was call to place 		
	an order versus the luxury of ordering on my 		
	phone. With technology, it has changed how 		
	I now make any purchase.”
SECTION 6

Conclusion
The NOW economy is upon us and bringing new opportunities for brands to compete and grow. At the same time,
it’s also exposing critical areas where brands are missing opportunities to compete.
With less than 50% of all orders available in under 2 minutes and many brands struggling with the customer
experience, clearly there is room for improvement. The study has made it obvious that brands must immediately
close the gaps that shape the customer journey or risk a customer revolt.
Brands must continually evaluate the end-to-end experience at every step of the customer journey.
	 1.	 How is my experience performing against customer expectations?
	 2.	 Do I understand the future of the industry and am I prepared?
The Rakuten Ready 2019 Time Study is meant to inspire brands to continually improve. It’s recipe to succeed in
the NOW economy and a call to action to help you deliver end-to-end experiences your customers will cherish.
You must act now.

Rakuten Ready and Brian Solis Introduce The NOW Economy - The Future of BOPIS, Curbside and Delivery Experiences

  • 1. Rakuten Ready 2019 Time Study A benchmark analysis of Order for Pickup experiences across top QSR, Retail and Grocery brands 1:10 3:16 6:20 3:25 1:15 5:47 0:39 4:03
  • 2. Executive Summary My online retail order was delivered late There was a mistake with my food order My items arrived damaged or faulty Items that I wanted weren’t in stock The driver needs a signature, but I wasn’t available to sign 17% 29% 22% 35%36% We are living in the NOW economy, one where mobile-first consum- ers can summon almost anything on-demand. As they experience the convenience, flexibility, and personalization of getting what they want, instantly, on-demand services are becoming a new standard in how they consume. It is imperative brands focus on the mobile-first customer experi- ence as they try to meet the incredible rise in demand of Delivery and Order for Pickup. However, according to consumers, delivery is falling short: The Rakuten Ready 2019 Time Study was launched to better under- stand the impact of real-time consumer experiences on the growth of Order for Pickup for top brands across QSR, Retail and Grocery. The Rakuten Ready study sets out to capture: • A detailed understanding of Order for Pickup wait time experiences of the top brands • How those brand experiences measure up to industry benchmarks and consumer expectations The study found that brands are already moving too slowly in this NOW economy. With over 20% customers waiting at least 6 minutes for their orders, the study highlights that Retail, QSR and Grocery brands, of all sizes, must invest now in infrastructure, marketing, training processes and technology to meet the incredible rise in demand and popularity of Order for Pickup programs or risk losing to their competition.

  • 4. Methodology SECTION 1 A total of 755 drive tests were executed in July and August 2019 to gather this data. In order to collect this information, Rakuten Ready commissioned a group of test shoppers (aka “secret shoppers”) who placed online orders (via mobile or web), and then visited 25 top grocers, retailers, and QSRs to pick up their orders, all while capturing 16 data points to assess the order pickup experience. The market data collected focused on the Order for Pickup experience at the following brands: Grocery (8 companies): Walmart Grocery Kroger Whole Foods Meijer HEB Raley’s Albertsons Hy-Vee Retail (7 companies): Walmart Home Depot Lowe’s Ulta Target Best Buy Nordstrom 1 QSR (10 companies): Burger King Chick-fil-A Chipotle Dunkin’ Five Guys McDonald’s Panera Pizza Hut Starbucks Taco Bell
  • 5. CA TX KS IL OH GA VA Methodology Data was gathered on 3 pickup methods: Attended In-Store Pickup Pickup is done in the store, and requires the customer to interact with an employee to retrieve their online order. Unattended In-Store Pickup Pickup is done inside the store at a dedicated online order pickup area, allowing customers to retrieve their own orders without the help of an employee (i.e. pickup shelves, lockers). Curbside Pickup Pickup is done outside the store. Employees bring the online orders to the customer in their car, generally parked within reserved curbside pickup spots. SECTION 1 2 The test orders took place within 7 states spread out across the US.
  • 6. Across tens of millions of orders captured by Rakuten Ready, the data very clearly shows that customers who wait less than 2 minutes to receive their order are 4 times more likely to reorder in the future than customers who wait 10 minutes. The critical 2 minute threshold serves as the benchmark brands should strive for. For this study the chosen benchmarks are 2 minutes, 4 minutes and 6 minutes across Unattended, Attended and Curbside pickup, respectively. SECTION 1 3
  • 7. Understanding The Big Picture In order to capture a holistic view of the Order for Pickup experience, the study examined the data to highlight how the experience translates across brands using two different dimensions. Customer Satisfaction: Captures the overall satisfaction rating for the customer experience beyond wait times (i.e. parking, signage, employee knowledge, etc). % of Orders with Low Wait: Measures the % of wait times less than the chosen benchmark for each specific fulfillment type. Unattended In-Store = % of wait times less than 2 minutes Attended In-Store = % of wait times less than 4 minutes Curbside = % of wait times less than 6 minutes SECTION 2 4 % OF ORDERS WITH LOW WAIT CUSTOMERSATISFACTION Excellent Poor 50% 100% Chipotle Panera Nordstrom Chick-Fil-A H-E-B Starbucks PizzaHut McDonald’s Meijer Kroger TacoBell BestBuy WholeFoods Target FiveGuys Hyvee HomeDepot Walmart BurgerKing UltaAlbertsons Raley’s Lowe’s Dunkin’

They had 80% of orders ready in less than 2 minutes and over 92% of orders completed within 4 minutes. The average wait time at Taco Bell was 1:36. “I arrived on-time at Taco Bell and when I walked in my order was ready. The line was short so they were able to hand it to me and I went on my way.” Best Buy topped retailers in wait time efficiency At Best Buy, shoppers received their orders in less than 2 minutes almost 64% of the time while 92% of shoppers got their orders in less than 4 minutes. The average wait time at Best Buy was 1:52. “Best Buy had a designated line for “online pickup” and an employee was there to help me when I arrived. My order was ready, so I was able to quickly sign for it and walk out.” SECTION 3 7

They were only able to deliver 16% of orders in less than 2 minutes and only 52% of orders were ready within 4 minutes.

  • 12. Understanding More about the Unattended In-Store Pickup Experience The unattended pickup experience offers customers the convenience and time savings of not having to interact directly with employees to pickup their orders. However, it can also be a black box for brands since this type of pickup does not allow them to fully gauge the freshness of the orders and quality of the customer experience. For example, if orders are placed on the order pickup shelf early, food can be cold or stale by the time the customer arrives. Note: The Unattended Pickup option was available with only 3 brands, and all were from the QSR industry.

  • 13. Chipotle topped the study by having customer orders ready in less than 2 minutes over 88% of the time. Their unattended model meant that secret shoppers didn’t need to interact with employees and headed directly to mobile order pickup racks. While a dedicated station was very effective at lowering wait times, shoppers noted that food was sometimes cold and quality had suffered. “I arrived 4 minutes early at Chipotle and when I walked in my order was already there on the mobile order pickup rack. I was able to get it without talking to anyone.” Chipotle leads in orders ready under 2 minutes 80% orders ready in less than 2 min 0%orders ready in less than 2 min Target topped the list of curbside wait times Curbside dynamics impact the Albertsons experience orders ready in less than 2 min orders ready in less than 2 min 64% orders ready in less than 4 min 93% orders ready in less than 4 min 52% 16% orders ready in less than 2 min 88% SECTION 4 10
  • 14. Curbside pickup brings additional factors into play that add operational complexity for store operations teams. Designated parking areas or fly-through lanes are needed for Curbside Pickup. Staff must be alerted to customer arrivals to find and greet them, where they are waiting, while delivering their order quickly and efficiently.

  • 19. Wait Time is Not the Only Metric The Time Study data clearly reveals that brands today have a lot of work to do to optimize Order for Pickup programs, especially wait times. In general, there’s a lack of understanding and sense of urgency about: • How long their customers are waiting to pick up an order and, • The long-term impact the customer perception has on their brand If you’re not measuring and understanding wait times, how can you adapt to the expectations of today’s customers? The time to focus on the efficiency of your Order for Pickup program, is NOW. SECTION 5 of customers rated “my order is ready on-time” as the most important when rating in-store pickup experiences. Previous research from Rakuten Ready uncovered that 95% Again, customers who waited less than the “magic mark” of 2 minutes to pick up their order were to order again as loyal customers.4X more likely 16
  • 20. In 2019, 73% of customers point to experience as a critical factor in their purchasing decisions, behind value and product quality. Nearly 80% of American consumers point to speed, convenience, knowledgeable help and friendly service as the most important elements of a positive customer experience. (source: PwC Future of Customer Experience Survey 2018). The Expectations Gap is Widening It is clear from the study that the speed at which the customer’s expectations are evolving is outpacing the evolution of brand infrastructure to support them. Logistics, training methods and standard processes are being stressed to the breaking point, with many obviously cracking in the attempt to keep up. Many brands would benefit from taking the time to step back, assess and re-imagine the end-to-end customer experience, especially with Order for Pickup. SECTION 5 17
  • 21. 18 But the Order for Pickup experience does also require thinking beyond just wait times. The mobile-first customer journey definitely requires an innovative, convenient and flexible pickup strategy that stretches beyond traditional infrastructure and includes the ingredients that define a successful end-to-end experience that NOW customers expect. Based on our study results, we propose the following pillars as best practices brands attempting to build and nurture a world-class Order for Pickup program.

  • 23. Prioritize Short Customer Wait Time “I don’t like waiting, especially if I’m already hungry. I’ll go and get it. I can get it quicker if i go, but they better have my order ready.” Winning retailers are prioritizing wait time as a service and a quantifiable metric in the customer experience. But, low wait times are already table stakes in today’s Order for Pickup programs. As we noted, even among the highest performing brands in our study, wait times and experiences varied at different locations and even in the same location, at different times of the day. Brands need to follow a blueprint that evolves traditional models for an on-demand, mobile-first world that performs consistently, regardless of location, staff or time of day. You must make wait time analytics a priority as you embark on building your customer journey. SECTION 6 20
  • 24. Evolve your Infrastructure Something as simple as the location of customer pick-up, signage or the absence of a dedicated parking spot can have a serious impact on customers’ impression of your brand. Ensuring exclusive parking spots or a designated parking area for mobile order custom- ers will not only lower wait times, but will have a positive impact on customer perception. The customer’s expectations don’t stop once they park. If a customer enters the premises and is unclear on where to go, they’re likely to feel confused or anxious. The bottom line is that the better the overall experience, the more time you save customers and the more likely they are to order from you again. “The curbside pickup area was behind the store, it was dark and in the alley. It felt dangerous and not well thought out. I’m hesitant to shop here again” SECTION 6 21
  • 25. Empower your Employees Human-to-human interaction has a direct impact on the customer’s experience. Proper staffing and training is critical to the success of any order for pickup program. No brand is perfect, but training and empowering a capable frontline staff is paramount. An engaged and knowledgeable employee who can fulfill the order right away or fix any issues with a smile goes a long way towards the overall perception of the experience. Those brands who employ trained customer-facing staff in the last mile, those who truly understand how to manage and process online orders, will make all the difference. “I had to ask for help as the cashier did not acknowledge me the first few minutes, she had to ask a manager for help as she’s not trained to handle online orders. I was confused why she couldn’t help me” SECTION 6 22
  • 26. Don’t Forget to Promote Just building an Order for Pickup program and releasing it into the market isn’t enough. To win, brands must launch dedicated marketing campaigns focused on capturing the growth opportunity while ensur- ing the program is communicated it to both customers and employees. “I had a great experience when I picked up my groceries but they seemed confused. My order was ready and they were friendly, but even some of the employees told me the program was new and they didn’t even know it existed.” SECTION 6 23
  • 27. Improve your Technology It is important to understand that leading technology is critical to your Order for Pickup future, but technology alone will not be enough. As the growth in adoption skyrockets, Order for Pickup will quickly strain your infrastructure, drive costs higher and cause serious inefficiencies without modernization at every level. To thrive and survive, evaluating the right technology is much more than simply adding-on to your existing POS systems, it must be part of your overall brand strategy. “Because of the evolution of technology, a few years ago i had to do was call to place an order versus the luxury of ordering on my phone. With technology, it has changed how I now make any purchase.” SECTION 6 24
  • 28. Conclusion The NOW economy is upon us and bringing new opportunities for brands to compete and grow. At the same time, it’s also exposing critical areas where brands are missing opportunities to compete. With less than 50% of all orders available in under 2 minutes and many brands struggling with the customer experience, clearly there is room for improvement. The study has made it obvious that brands must immediately close the gaps that shape the customer journey or risk a customer revolt. Brands must continually evaluate the end-to-end experience at every step of the customer journey. 1. How is my experience performing against customer expectations? 2. Do I understand the future of the industry and am I prepared? The Rakuten Ready 2019 Time Study is meant to inspire brands to continually improve.
