This weekend we finally pulled everything together and got the Grocery Station website up, running, and functional after some major glitches. I lost a few shoppers now that it's really time to ramp up, so I've been having to go through more interviews this week, which is only painful because it takes up my time I'd rather be at home! But I've picked up a handful so I think we're right at around 10 shoppers or so. I still need more, so more interviews next week for me!
But TODAY we got our first official order! We'd had customers create accounts, which is very cool, but today was the first time we actually got an order. And not from a friend, from a total stranger who says she saw the advertisement in Kroger. Her order was huge! The end results is a take-home of $30 for me, and $22 for my shopper (after a nice tip!). Not a bad deal :) I am $30 in the black now. HAHA!
It's really exciting to see other people I don't even know put their faith in us. WOW. I'm meeting my shopper tomorrow to help her out since we've never actually done this end-to-end yet! Good thing my calendar at work is pretty empty tomorrow. Here's hoping for a nice flow!
