Start by clarifying the goal of improving OpenTable (e.g., increase diner engagement, restaurant retention, or revenue) and then segment users (diners and restaurants) to identify pain points. Prioritize one high-impact opportunity, propose a concrete solution with success metrics, and tie it back to DoorDash's ecosystem.
Pro tip: Acknowledge OpenTable's two-sided marketplace and show how your improvement benefits both diners and restaurants, while leveraging DoorDash's strengths in logistics and local commerce.
Ask clarifying questions to define the improvement goal (e.g., grow bookings, reduce no-shows, increase restaurant ROI) and confirm which user segment to focus on.
Break down the ecosystem into diners and restaurants, and map their key pain points (e.g., discovery, booking friction, no-shows, table management, demand forecasting).
Use a prioritization framework (e.g., impact vs. effort, RICE) to select one high-impact pain point that aligns with DoorDash's strategic goals.
Outline a specific feature or improvement, explain how it works, and define success metrics (e.g., booking conversion, no-show rate, restaurant retention).
Explain how the improvement leverages DoorDash's assets (e.g., delivery network, user base, logistics) to create a competitive advantage.
