There is a new feature in your Deliveroo Rider app: orders can be paid in cash by customers.
During this kind of delivery you should pay the restaurant in advance on behalf of the customer when you pick the order up and then collect the cash from the customer once you deliver the order.
Have a look here to check how it works: click here.
You’ll see the cash order proposal in your app, and you can accept it or reject it through the “Accept cash order” or “Reject” button.
If you accept the cash order proposal, remember to pay the restaurant in advance on behalf of the customer by one of the payment methods accepted by the restaurant (electronic or cash).
For this reason, when you are at the restaurant you should tick the order to continue (as you usually do!) and then confirm the payment in your app.
Once you reach your destination you can finally collect the cash you paid in advance from the customer. You'll also receive the service fee and the delivery fee on behalf of Deliveroo. These, will will be deducted (post-tax) from the next payment.
Insert how much the customer gave you into the calculator and it will also show you the change you have to give him, if needed.
If the customer wants to give a lower amount than the one shown on the calculator, please contact us via the Live Chat and do not finalize the delivery and please do not leave the order. Don't worry, the amount paid in advance will be refunded in any case.
After that, you can finalize your delivery: just click on “Confirm payment”!
As you already know, Deliveroo operates a "Challenge 25" policy when delivering age-restricted items.
Normally, when the customer has ordered age-restricted products (such as alcohol) and looks younger than 25 years of age, you are required to ask him/her for a form of ID (valid ID card or passport or driver's license).
This also applies during a delivery where the order is paid in cash.
If the customer looks younger than 25 years of age, we encourage you to ask him/her for an ID even if your Deliveroo Rider app does not reminds you to do so.
If the customer does not have a valid ID, you can safely deliver non-restricted items and contact the Rider Support Team to finalize your delivery.
