1. Is there real demand in that city?
Look for actual enquiries and repeat customer requests, not just a large population.
Research alternatives already serving the area and what customers still find difficult.
A small paid test can reveal more than a confident guess.
2. What will each delivered order cost?
Add packaging, shipping, returns, payment fees and support time to the product cost.
Check whether the price still leaves a healthy margin after realistic delivery failures.
Do not advertise a low delivery fee that the business cannot sustain.
3. Can we meet the promise we advertise?
Test delivery time, damage risk and tracking before announcing service across the whole city.
Make the cutoff time, coverage area and return terms easy to understand.
A clear limited promise builds more trust than a fast promise that breaks.
4. Who will handle problems and customer data?
Assign someone to answer delayed-order and return questions.
Use reliable payment and order systems, and protect customer contact details.
Check local tax, product and consumer rules with a qualified adviser when the expansion changes obligations.
5. What result would justify a wider launch?
Run a time-limited pilot with a defined area, budget and target number of good orders.
Track repeat orders, delivery issues and contribution margin, not revenue alone.
Expand only when the service works for customers and the unit economics work for the business.
