Orders locked from Rider assignment after manual interference 🤚

Some actions on the Hub portal Orders dashboard might cause significant delays in sending orders out for delivery, as they lose priority for automatic assignment. To minimize this, please avoid the following actions unless absolutely necessary:

  • Unstacking orders from the dashboard

  • Unassigning orders from the dashboard

  • Riders rejecting trips

If you must intervene manually due to critical issues with orders, stacking, or assignments, monitor the orders that you manually interfered with closely to ensure they don’t remain unassigned for too long.

For stacks containing JET orders, manual assignment is currently not available. If you need help with the manual assignment for these stacks:

  1. Report the orders’ numbers in the #tech-hub-service_de channel.

  2. Include the Rider ID of the Rider you want to take these orders.

    1. Consider setting them to Temporary Offline to prevent them from receiving other offers while you coordinate the assignment.


​
The product team is actively working on a solution to address order delays caused by manual interference. Some measures have already been implemented to minimize the impact.

Product replacements resulting in negative customer feedback šŸ—Æļø

We frequently receive customer complaints about hubs replacing missing products with similar ones. This practice also slows down the picking process. To prevent these issues, do not replace missing products. If a product is unavailable, always issue a refund instead.

Reminder: redelivery guidelines šŸ”„

Please keep in mind that all redelivery requests must be validated with Customer Care via their Slack workflow:

Orders are eligible for redelivery when all of the following requirements are fulfilled:

  • The entire order or full bag is missing/wrong

  • Total value of the missing/wrong items exceeds 10 Euros

  • Enough operational room to accomplish the redelivery

Important: orders below 10 Euros are automatically refunded after customer complaints.

Delays in reply time from Workforce Support Team šŸ“±

Given unplanned absences, we are experiencing an increase in reply and full resolution time this week.

As such, please create escalations correctly and only for urgent requests. We are working on solving tickets, especially payroll, visa and contract changes tickets, as fast as we can with our current resources. Please submit the ticket IDs in the escalation forms.

We also kindly ask you to remind employees to not open multiple tickets and to choose the most suitable option in the contact form, so their issues can be solved quicker.

Refer-a-friend Christmas Special: new flyers coming in the hub šŸŽ„

This Christmas, we will have a special edition of Refer-a-Friend flyers coming to the hubs!

Throughout December, please ensure these flyers are placed in all Flink orders except external Lieferando orders until the stock is finished. After that, please switch back to using the usual version (Ding Dong). Ideally, you should only place the Christmas version this month.

Let’s spread the holiday cheer and make this season extra special for everyone! ✨

Here’s what the Christmas special flyers look like:

And the flyers to put in all Flink orders after December 31st:

In the google drive folder you will find the G-sheet files for all the hubs that are affected in the shelf change.

Please only follow the ones that have exactly the same naming of your hubs and also be careful with following the same hub code while downloading the files.

Please find the file here {LINK}

Some notes on the sheets:

  • The sheets are, as mentioned above, Hub specific. So only the sheet named with your hub code is valid for your hub.

  • "SKU" you can find a the SKU which needs to be moved to another shelf space;

  • "shelf" - 3rd column: If the cell is empty, we just assigned this product to your Hub, so please just store it in the shelf mentioned in "new shelf";

  • "newShelf" - 5th column: If the cell is empty, you can get rid of the product (same process like delisting);

  • if both "shelf" and "newShelf" have a shelf number, it's a normal shelf change.

  • The changes will go live tonight between 01 am and 07 am, please reorder the products tonight/ tomorrow morning.

If you have any questions, please contact feel free to reach out to Muhammad Al Zabir Rakin.

Thank you!
