How This Pizza Chain Scaled to 50 Million by Fixing Delivery Radius
Description
Lucas and Luna unpack the story of a regional pizza chain that broke through the $50 million revenue mark by tightening its delivery radius from five miles to two point five. They walk through the counterintuitive math: fewer deliveries per driver but higher ticket sizes, lower food waste, and a 22 percent increase in same-store profits. The episode dives into the operational metrics—average delivery time dropping from 38 minutes to 19, driver turnover halving—and why most restaurants get radius wrong. Lucas shares the specific threshold the company used: any address with a projected delivery time over 20 minutes got cut. Luna pushes back on customer loss, and Lucas shows how the data proved that the customers who mattered actually increased their order frequency. A concrete look at how narrowing your market can actually grow your business.
