Fulfilled Sales - The total value of sales that were “Completed” or “Active Canceled”. The categories that can get filtered (pie chart filtering) in the pie chart are “Completed” and “Active Cancel”

  • “Completed” orders were fulfilled and delivered to/picked up by the customer

  • “Active Cancels” are orders where a merchant interacted with and likely fulfilled the order, however, it was canceled by the customer or DSP (Delivery Service Provider) before it made it to the customer

Lost Sales - The total value of sales that were “Denied” or “Inactive Canceled”. The filterable categories (pie chart filtering) in the pie chart are “Denied” and “Inactive Cancel”

  • “Denied” orders are driven by the in-store merchant who cannot fulfill the order for some reason

  • “Inactive Cancels” occur when an order is never acknowledged and thus likely lead to a cancelation from the customer or DSP (Delivery Service Provider)

Prep Time - The average time it takes from an order arriving to it being delivered. The data can be further filtered (pie chart filtering) based on “Bagging Time” vs “Pickup Time”

  • “Bagging Time” is the recorded time between an order arriving and an in-store merchant marking the order as “Ready for pickup”

  • The “Pickup Time” is the recorded time between an order being set “Ready for Pickup” and the order being “Picked up by driver”
