Delivery drivers from platforms are independent contractors, not your employees. But the quality of your relationship with them directly impacts customer satisfaction.
Respecting the waiting time is paramount. When a delivery arrives and the order is not ready, they lose money (no run during the wait). Aim for a maximum waiting time of 2 minutes.
Waiting areas make a difference. A clean space with a chair, access to restrooms, and a glass of water transforms the delivery driver’s experience. In return, they will treat your orders better.
Clear instructions for retrieval are essential. Clearly indicate the delivery entrance, prepare the bags with the client’s name visible, and have a system for organizing pending orders.
In case of a problem with a specific delivery person (rough handling, rudeness, theft), report it to the platform with precise details. Platforms can sanction repeat offenders.
Your loyal delivery drivers are your best allies. They know your dishes, know how to transport them, and can even recommend your restaurant to hesitant customers.
