An analysis of the curbside pickup experience in retail reveals that optimizing customer acquisition costs, reducing shopper wait times, and right-sizing in-store staffing can lead to significant savings and efficiency improvements. By integrating with a Mapbox-powered system, retailers can decrease customer wait time from eight to two minutes through automation and alerts, and reduce staffing requirements from five to 3.8 employees per store for 40 pickups per day. The study emphasizes that curbside pickup should be viewed not just as a cost-saving measure but as an extension of the brand experience, ensuring the same level of service and product quality as in-store purchases. The Mapbox curbside architecture aims to maintain this brand consistency by automating processes such as timing the preparation of orders to align precisely with customer arrival. Additionally, the architecture is designed to be accessible for business owners, allowing them to tailor the service to their specific "fry drop moments"—critical points in the customer experience that need to be preserved. The release of a curbside architecture guide and source code aims to assist businesses in implementing an efficient curbside service, with support available for further customization or troubleshooting.
