Documented cause
Bom Prato Digital launched to bring affordable digital cafeteria-style meals to Brazilian corporate offices, competing on price against delivery platforms. When iFood and Rappi scaled their corporate meal programs and subsidized delivery aggressively through 2021, Bom Prato could not match the economics. The corporate meal market consolidated around the giants and Bom Prato quietly shut down its digital operations in 2022.
Lesson
“In food delivery, competing on price against well-funded incumbents with network advantages is a race to the bottom that undercapitalized challengers cannot win.”
