Problem
Consumers often lack convenient access to a wide selection of alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages delivered directly to their homes, and returning empty bottles or crates can be cumbersome and unrewarded.
Solution
Andy operates an online drink‑delivery service that lets customers browse a curated catalog of beers, wines, soft drinks, and water and place orders for home delivery. Orders can be scheduled in 2‑, 4‑ or 7‑hour time windows, with next‑day service in major cities and thrice‑weekly service elsewhere. Delivered crates are left at the door (or garage/basement) and can be returned on the next delivery; the value of the empty crates is credited to the customer’s account as “Andy Credits” for future purchases. A small delivery fee applies to orders under €80, while orders above that threshold qualify for free delivery. The platform handles deposit collection, crediting, and inventory of a broad range of beverage brands.
Target Audience
Primary customers are urban households and apartment residents who want regular, hassle‑free delivery of beverages, as well as small event organizers and parties needing bulk crates of drinks.
