A few questions at pickup can save a second trip from the loading zone.
Before pickup
Check the requested delivery time, business entrance, parking instructions, and order size. Confirm whether the job includes setup. If the instructions give a room name but no entrance, ask for the entrance while you still have time to adjust.
At the counter
Match the package count against the order and ask the restaurant to identify hot, cold, and fragile items. Keep sealed packages closed. Ask about drinks, serving utensils, and labeled special meals before you load the vehicle.
At the venue
Use the agreed loading area and contact method. Confirm the recipient and setup location before moving the whole order. Keep the path clear for other staff and use the venue’s instructions for any restricted access.
After handoff
Confirm receipt using the platform’s required method. Record the actual unloading time and any parking cost. A private note such as “service entrance on Oak” is useful for next time. Leave customer names, phone numbers, and order photos out of public comments.
