5. Delivery performance during peak and off-peak hours

Delivery performance changes with demand. During evening peaks and weekend surges, rider supply and dark-store throughput determine whether promises hold.

Dunzo’s model, which depends on flexible on-demand riders and merchant partners, can be either nimble or inconsistent depending on rider availability in a given neighbourhood.
