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.

Rider key messages:
- Follow the directions of the Restaurant Coordinator

- When your number is called, enter the Deliveroo-marked waiting area until the store staff have placed your order on the table and walked away
- The delivery tables are disinfected regularly
- If available, use hand sanitizer, or feel free to wash your hands inside
- Avoid all kinds of contact during orders, both with the restaurant and with the customer
