Abantu abaqhelene nalo mbandela bathi i-Gopuff, i-15 yeebhiliyoni zeedola yokuqalisa ukuhanjiswa, ayikhange igqibe nje ukuthoba imivuzo yabaqhubi bayo, kodwa ikwabhatala abaqhubi abahlala bephantsi kunomvuzo wabo. Olu luphawu lokungasebenzi kakuhle kwaye kwenza abantu bathandabuze isakhono senkampani sokwandisa ishishini layo. .
Umqhubi kwindawo exakekileyo yenkampani yasePhiladelphia uqikelele ukuba malunga nesinye kwisithathu somvuzo wakhe osuka eGopuff ubungaphantsi kunomvuzo wakhe obaliweyo wokugoduka. Wathi le nkampani yakha yamtyala imali emalunga nama-R800. Abaqhubi kwezinye iidolophu bathi lo mkhuba uxhaphakile nakwindawo yasekuhlaleni. Bacele ukuba baxoxe ngemiba entununtunu yangaphakathi bengaziwa.
IGopuff inenkqubo yokuba abaqhubi bakhuphisane nabameli benkampani kwimivuzo yabo, kwaye xa kuvela ingxabano, uGopuff udla ngokuhlawula umahluko. Kodwa abaqhubi bathi kungathatha iiveki ezininzi ukuba intlawulo yokutshintsha ibonakale kwiiakhawunti zabo zebhanki.
Inkampani inqumle umvuzo omncinci oqinisekisiweyo wabaqhubi kungekudala emva kokunyusa i-1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kubatyali-mali abanjengoBlackstone, ngoko sele ijongene nenkcaso eqinile. Iimpazamo zentlawulo zisisikhalazo esixhaphake kakhulu phakathi kwabaqhubi, enokuba yingxaki kwiGopuff njengoko izama ukwandisa ishishini layo kwihlabathi jikelele.
Umanejala wovimba oye wajongana nezi zikhalazo zembuyekezo uthe ukulungisa isikhalazo ngasinye yinkqubo ethatha ixesha kwaye luphawu lwemisebenzi engasebenziyo kaGopuff. Le ngxaki inokuba mbi njengoko isikali sikhula, kwaye sithintele iinzame zokwenza ishishini lizinze-kwaye liphazamise ubudlelwane kunye neekontraka kunye nabanye abasebenzi.
"I-Gopuff izibophelele ekudaleni awona mava angcono okuhambisa iqabane," utshilo isithethi senkampani. "Njengoko sikhula, siyaqhubeka nokutyala imali kumajelo ethu onxibelelwano kunye namaqabane okuhambisa, kwaye sisebenza ngokukhutheleyo ukomeleza unxibelelwano lwabalingane bokuhambisa, izicelo, inkxaso yabathengi, iiwebhusayithi, njl.
UGopuff uthe ikwazile ukwandisa ishishini layo kwiindawo zokugcina iimpahla ezingaphezu kwama-500 kulo lonke elase-United States, kwaye le nkampani iyayiphikisa imbono yokuba umba wembuyekezo yabaqhubi ube ngumqobo.
Kwezinye iindawo kuqoqosho lwegig, kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukubonelela ngentlawulo eyongezelelweyo kubaqhubi kunye nabanye abasebenzi. Abaqhubi abasuka kwiinkampani ezikhwelayo ezifana ne-Uber kunye neLyft ngamanye amaxesha bayayiphikisa imivuzo yabo, kodwa oku kuqhelekile ngenxa yokuba ukusilela kobugcisa kunqabile.
Ingxaki ngeGopuff kukuba, ngokungafaniyo nenkonzo yokukhwela, ehlawula abaqhubi ikakhulu ngokudibanisa umgama kunye nexesha elichithwe emotweni, inkqubo yayo inzima kakhulu. Inkampani ihlawula abaqhubi ngemirhumo ehlawulwayo kwisiqwenga ngasinye somthwalo esizisiweyo, iimali zokuthengisa ezihlawulwe ngaphezulu kwezi ntlawulo, kunye nebhonasi yexesha elinye lomthwalo oziswe ngexesha elixakekileyo.
Ukongeza, ukuba umqhubi usayinela utshintsho oluthile, iGopuff iyakuqinisekisa owona mvuzo uphantsi womqhubi weyure. Inkampani ibiza ezi nkxaso-mali zincinci kwaye yi-fuse yengxabano phakathi komqhubi kunye nenkampani. UGopuff usandula ukusika ezi nkxaso-mali kwiindawo zokugcina iimpahla kwilizwe liphela.
Ngenxa yale nkqubo intsonkothileyo, abaqhubi badla ngokunikela ingqalelo engakumbi ekuhanjisweni kwabo baze bathintele iiodolo zabo ezigqityiweyo. Ukuba umvuzo wabo weveki okanye imali kwi-akhawunti yabo iphantsi kunomvuzo wabo obalwayo, umqhubi unokufaka inkcaso.
Umanejala osebenza kwindawo yokugcina impahla yakwaGopuff uthe inkqubo yokujongana nala mabango yayimaxongo. Owayesakuba ngumphathi wendawo yokugcina impahla wathi kwiimeko ezininzi, umvuzo womqhubi ngamnye okwindawo yokugcina impahla wawuphosakele, yaye inkampani kwakufuneka imbuyekeze ngomvuzo olandelayo. Umntu ocele ukuba igama lakhe lingachazwa, uthe inkampani izamile ukuhlawula imali eyongezelelweyo kwintlawulo elandelayo, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha ithatha ixesha elide.
