Food delivery support team: 10 agents for 65,000 tickets/month

Food delivery support is real-time and location-aware: a late order refund must arrive before the customer finishes their meal.

Verdict: Not worth buying at your volume

  • At 65,000 tickets/month, the platform costs more than the headcount it lets you avoid. That is the honest answer for your volume.
  • Headcount spans 22-37 agents across your industry's handle-time range. Measure your real AHT for two weeks before you budget - the band is usually wider than anyone expects.
