Documented cause
Jokr launched ultra-fast grocery delivery (15-minute promise) in Mexico City in 2021 backed by $260M globally. The Mexico operation expanded to multiple dark stores across the city but found that order frequency was too low and basket sizes too small to cover last-mile labor and inventory costs. Parent Jokr pulled out of Mexico in 2022 to concentrate capital on the US and select LatAm markets with better unit economics.
Lesson
“Quick-commerce unit economics require minimum basket size of $25+ and 3+ orders per week per customer to reach contribution-positive — Mexico City shopping behavior delivers neither.”
