Limiting contact when delivering orders will help to keep everyone healthy. We've enabled a new feature which allows customers to select 'contact-free delivery' when they order.
This means the rider will leave the food at the door, rather than handing over directly. The rider will then step back at least 2 metres and wait nearby for you to collect it
We've prepared guidelines for in-house handover too. We hope that this new tool provides you and our riders with greater safety during this time.
Contact-free collection
There must be no physical contact between the restaurant staff and riders when they pick up the bags.
Create dedicated tables/areas for collection for each platform (one table per platform, at least 2 meters apart from each other).
Staff should place the sealed bag on a counter/table, move away from it, and allow the rider to approach the table and pick it up while maintaining safe distances.
When a rider collects food from your restaurant, ensure that they put the food straight into a thermal bag before they leave the restaurant.
It's vital that food is protected from any potentially infectious material.
