Ethnic Grocery, USA
MISO Groceries: Houston grocery delivery for Indian, Mediterranean and Persian food, with catering and ready meals running alongside the store.
MISO Groceries serves Houston's Indian, Mediterranean and Persian communities. The business is really three businesses sharing a customer base: a grocery store, a catering operation and a ready-meals kitchen, each with different lead times and fulfilment logic.
The challenge
These were the specific constraints the project had to resolve.
- Three business models, grocery, catering and ready meals, in one customer experience
- Catering orders needing quotes, lead times and deposits rather than instant checkout
- Ready meals with preparation windows and freshness constraints
- A specialist catalogue spanning three distinct regional cuisines
- Delivery logistics differing per order type
What we did
- Unified grocery, catering and ready meals into one account and one basket where possible
- Built a catering enquiry-to-quote-to-deposit workflow with lead-time rules
- Implemented preparation-window scheduling for ready meals
- Structured the catalogue so three cuisines are browsable without collapsing into one generic aisle
- Configured delivery logic per order type rather than one blanket rule

Growth model
We would rather be paid for the growth than the hours.
For ecommerce clients we can work on growth-share: an agreed baseline from your trailing performance, then a percentage of the incremental sales we create above it. No fixed retainer. If your revenue does not grow, we do not earn. It changes what we recommend, because we carry part of the risk of being wrong.

Grocery & Supermarket
Grocery is the most operationally demanding category in ecommerce. Baskets are large and low-margin, items are perishable, half the catalogue is sold by weight, and the customer expects a delivery slot they chose rather than whenever the courier arrives.
