| 2 | Kirana walk-in | Immediate if nearby | Fresh produce choice | Travel needed |
| 3 | Next-day apps | 24-48 hrs | Monthly staples | Not urgent |

| 5 | Zooperz (soon) | Minutes | Daily essentials | Ward rollout |
Phone-Order Kiranas: Backbone
Families have a regular kirana for phone or WhatsApp orders. Shop knows your rice brand and credit. Delivery by cycle often within an hour if nearby.
Tradeoff is consistency. Prices vary, stock is manual, time is estimate. Festivals or rain add delays and you cannot track rider on map.
- Pros: personal service, flexible payment, familiar stock
- Cons: no inventory view, no map tracking, variable timing
- Tip: kirana for urgent milk plus next-day apps for bulk rice and oil
Next-Day Apps for Monthly Stocking
Next-day apps suit planned purchases like 25 kg rice bags and oil tins with scheduled delivery. Prices are competitive with offers.
They fail for immediate needs like bread at 7 PM. Leafy greens also lose freshness versus 5 AM mandi supply.
