To reduce or eliminate failed orders at your restaurant, it's important to understand why these failures occur. Please review our Failed Orders article located here to identify the causes of your failed orders. Once you've identified the reasons, you can address them in-store or contact our YUMBI Support Team for further assistance. 

Cancelled/Rejected Orders

• Could Not Contact Store
  

• It is important that your cashiers and managers ensure that they process all incoming orders on the printer correctly.  How to capture an order? follow the steps in our article that apply to the type of YUMBI Printer at your restaurant How do I operate the YUMBI Printer? or How do I operate the Android Touch Screen YUMBI Printer? article.

• Unable to Deliver
  

• Should you need to deactivate your deliveries, you can use our “Delivery Zone Management” self-service feature. This will allow you to turn off deliveries either entirely or for specific delivery zones configured on the YUMBI platform but still allow customers to order for collection. View our knowledge base article, and video tutorial located here.
• You may want to consider activating the Kerbside Collect feature for your restaurant, which allows customers to receive their meals without making physical contact with the FOH coordinator and runners. Our What is 'no contact Kerbside Collect'? article will provide you with more information on what this feature is, and how to activate this for your restaurant.
  

• Too Busy
  

• Should you need to pause online orders for a short period of time, you can do so by toggling your restaurant settings on or off. This gives you the ability to change your store status to online or offline. Note that if you set your restaurant offline, you’re disabling the ability for customers to order online or via your YUMBI Powered Call Centre. In order to do this, please follow the instructions outlined here.
  

• Don’t Deliver to Area
  

•       Consider reviewing your delivery areas. YUMBI allows for three types of delivery zones set up for a restaurant:
• Standard radii zones, 
  
• Specific polygon zones, and 
• Driving Distance Delivery Areas.
• For more information on the types of delivery zones can you configure for your restaurant, click here.
  

• Food Unavailable
  

• Through the Dashboard, you can temporarily remove a product from your online menu without having to reach out to our support team! By marking an item out of stock, you “hide” the item/s from the menu preventing people from ordering it while it's unavailable. Have a look at the How do I add or remove a product from my online menu? article to see how.
  

• Load Shedding
  

• If you cannot receive orders during loadshedding, toggle your restaurant to ‘Off’ on YUMBI Dashboard just before you lose power. By doing this, no online orders or call-in orders can be placed at your restaurant during this time. Remember to toggle your restaurant back ‘On’ again after loadshedding has ended to start receiving orders again.
• If you are unable to prepare certain menu items during load shedding, e.g. Milkshakes, it’s important to make use of the ‘Out of Stock’ feature on YUMBI Dashboard. Have a look at the How do I add or remove a product from my online menu? article to see how.
  

• Time Unavailable
  

• Please follow the instructions outlined on our How do I deactivate deliveries? article.
  

• JAM - Please Reorder
  

• The YUMBI GSM printer uses thermal credit card rolls. These can be found at any stationery shop if needed. It’s best to ensure that the correct rolls are purchased and utilized in the printer. Furthermore, it is advised that the printer roll is checked to ensure that it has been inserted correctly, the black pin is in place and secure, and that there is sufficient paper left in the printer to receive orders.
