Is a new city ready for delivery?
People and restaurant supply in a new city, as a launch memo.
What it does
When you look at a new city: its people and its restaurants and grocery stores, compared by xMap AI with a city you already serve, as a launch readiness memo.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Tashkent, count who lives around, find restaurants, fast food restaurants and grocery stores in the area, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Launching where there are not enough restaurants burns money. The memo checks supply before the launch.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 180 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.

How to set it up
- Build your first flow in ten minutes: From a blank page to a flow that emails you a ranked list every morning.
- Ask the map a question: How many of a kind of place, how many people for each, and where the gaps are, answered on the spot.
- Count what is around each of your places: Competitors, footfall magnets or services within a distance of each site.
- Compare sites side by side: Two or three spots measured the same way, one column each, the best of every row marked and the best site and why.
- Location intelligence: Using where things are, and what is around them, to make business decisions.
- Site selection: Choosing where to open a store, branch, clinic or facility.
- How to score candidate store sites: Compare sites on residents, competitors and neighbours, with an AI score and a reason.
