Uber x UCLA

New Delivery Methods

Product strategy and go-to-market design partnership exploring online ordering and campus integrations for UCLA's food delivery ecosystem.

The Opportunity

Food delivery on college campuses faces distinct operational challenges: dense building layouts, vehicle access restrictions, and high delivery volumes clustered around dormitories and campus landmarks.

In this GTM partnership project, we set out to answer a core product question:

"If Uber were to launch an online ordering product at UCLA, how should they go to market?"

The Solution & Delivery

We presented a comprehensive go-to-market strategy directly to a team of Uber PMs, directors, researchers, and stakeholders. Our proposed framework and deliverables included:

  • User Research: Synthesized dining habits, peak periods, and delivery friction points from the student body.
  • Competitive Analysis: Benchmarked existing campus delivery competitors and UCLA's internal food systems.
  • Opportunity Identification: Documented logistical access zones and routing improvements.
  • Wireframes & Mockups: Interactive concepts showing how Uber Eats could seamlessly integrate with UCLA's official campus card and university meal plans.
