Ours is about the same sizePretty big. About a 5 mile radius.
Do you ever run into situations where the driver arrives and they aren’t there waiting for the order?We strive for 30. Quote 45 to 60. Average at the door time is 37 minutes
It does happen from time to time. Not enough to worry about. I used to put a lot of energy into quoting a more accurate delivery time but I have found the customer preferred getting the order delivered quicker than the quoted time. We have days when we quote 3 hours and people are surprisingly fine with it. [emoji2]Do you ever run into situations where the driver arrives and they aren’t there waiting for the order?
How many drivers do you have on at one time?We normally quote 1/2 hr to 45 min. On busy night we say 45 min to an hour. In bad weather (I’m in Buffalo, NY) we say “we’ll have it there as soon as we can”.
