Customer journey map for online grocery delivery

This customer journey map follows a household ordering groceries online for the first time. It begins with discovery, where customers are evaluating whether the service operates nearby and whether they can trust the produce. It then captures the choice of fees, slots and substitution policies, followed by checkout and delivery. The map does not claim that every shopper behaves the same way. Instead, it gives the team a single scenario to test through research and service data. The unavailable slot and missing-item response are useful focal points because they occur at moments when a customer can abandon the service or lose confidence after paying.

The request

In Discover, the customer searches for neighborhood delivery and worries about produce quality. In Choose, they compare delivery fees and time slots and need clear substitutions. In Order, they build a basket and check out, with unavailable delivery slots as friction. In Receive, they track the driver and check the order, with an opportunity to resolve missing items quickly.”
