Day-to-day operating brief

What Fast Food Courier (Deliveroo) work looks like in practice

A Fast Food Courier collects prepared orders from restaurants and delivers them promptly while protecting temperature, packaging and customer privacy. Terms should cover employment status, app allocation, insulated bags, spills, alcohol or age-restricted items where applicable, substitutions, building access, tips and proof of delivery. The courier should not open sealed food, make ingredient or allergen claims, use unsafe speed to protect metrics or retain customer contact details after the order. Pickup checks should compare order identifiers and drink count without opening sealed packaging or handling food. Where a customer cannot be located, the courier should use the platform contact window and disposal or return instruction, rather than leaving perishable food at an unsafe communal entrance.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Verify order number and packaging.
Use clean suitable insulated equipment.
Travel safely to delivery addresses.
