The job

One route, step by step

The numbers and times shown in the screens are examples.

  1. Before setting off

    Check your route before setting off

    Check tonight’s route, stops and times in the app. Contact the team if your location is not showing. Vehicle and refrigeration checks will be explained before a trial run.

  2. At the restaurant

    Collect the meals from the restaurant

    Count the meals with restaurant staff, then record the number collected, the loading temperature and photos. Enter the actual number if it differs from the estimate, and select the stops where the meals will be available. How to handle temperature or food-condition problems will be confirmed before a trial run.

  3. At each stop

    Give customers their meals at each stop

    Scan the customer’s QR code and check their order and quantity before giving them their meals. You can also record purchases by customers without a reservation. When pickup at that stop is finished, let the app know you are leaving.

  4. End of the route

    Count what is left and finish your route

    After visiting every stop, record missed pickups and the number of meals left. Before donating food, check its condition and what the recipient can accept. Expired food is not simply donated. Using leftovers as animal feed is still at the stage of looking for a partner.
