What is Kerbside Collect

Kerbside Collect is a new Feature within the Collect Mode, this means that customers will be able to receive their meals with making no physical contact with the FOH coordinator and runners.

Kerbside Collect will also help with in-store volume and crowd control. It is important to note that if a customer places a Kerbside Collect and your restaurant cannot facilitate it – it will require the customer being phoned and informed that this is not available and they are to collect in-store at this stage. We are aware that there will be instances that Kerbside Collect is not practical. 

The Kerbside Collect feature proved to be a valuable feature as up to 20% of collect customers opted to collect their food in this way.

However, we received feedback via restaurant operations teams that they were battling to deliver the food to the kerbside when the customer arrived for 2 main reasons:

  • There was no way for the customer to let the restaurant know that they had arrived
  • The customer had used vehicle details that did not match the vehicle they were in

Because of this, we were asked to add a feature to alert the store when the customer arrived, and supply more location information, and we obliged!

“I’m Here!” Customer Alert

The “I’m here” button allows a customer to alert the store when they have arrived. It’s available to users of all mobile platforms as well as Call Centre customers (via the link in their order confirmation SMS).

Key Features

  • “I’m here” button is shown on the customer’s order summary screen for all successful kerbside orders
  • A confirmation screen will allow the customer to confirm or change their vehicle details
  • If the phone’s location services are enabled, we’ll use that info
  • An SMS will be sent to a dedicated kerbside waiter mobile number*
*Important Note: That the "I’m here" button will only appear if this number is configured in YUMBI Dashboard! See below for more information on how to add a mobile number.
