At Omacart, we’re focused on making grocery shopping as painless as possible. To help improve the Omacart experience, we conduct user research with both customers and shoppers to better understand what works and what doesn’t.
Feedback from both customers and shoppers directly inform our decisions. On top of contributing to the future of Omacart, we offer rewards to those who participate in user research studies. Customers will receive discounts off future order(s) and shoppers will get a shopper bump deposited directly to the Omacart Shopper app. We know your time is valuable and appreciate you spending it with us to improve Omacart.
Types of user research
- Surveys
- Video interviews
- Unmoderated studies where we ask you to record your screen as you complete certain tasks on Omacart.
- In-person shop-alongs where we accompany shoppers as you pick Everyday essentials and complete deliveries.

What's the time commitment?
Our surveys usually take around 5 minutes, and a video interview may take an hour. It all depends on the research initiative and how we’d like to get your feedback.
Who works on the research team?
We have a number of people on the Research at Omacart team, but you can generally expect to receive research invitations from research@omacart.com.
I signed up to participate in a video interview. Now what?
Please find a quiet, private place with stable internet to respond to the questions. Interviews normally take between 30 - 90 minutes, depending on the research study.
Am I allowed to discuss user research with others?
Shopper participants sign an NDA prior to the study. We may share proprietary information during the sessions (e.g. unreleased designs) it’s important not to discuss the specifics of your study with others.
