Houston Runner Market Discovery Research

Abstract

While every market has unique challenges and opportunities, Favor’s Houston Runners exhibit strange behaviors. To uncover motivations behind these behaviors, Favor’s UX Research team tasked me with creating a research plan to learn more about this market segment. I met with internal stakeholders, gathered company-collected data on Houston Runners, and interviewed and surveyed people working in this market. I discovered that the ‘weird’ behaviors we were seeing from our runners were a result of a new feature – locking neighborhoods that have too many drivers which created a more frustrating user experience for runners who were unable to easily deliver orders.
