Virtual Dispatch

There are different types of deliveries. Some deliveries are for household goods. Some deliveries are grocery deliveries. Additionally, there are the hot fresh food deliveries. Furthermore, there are also different types of hot fresh food deliveries.

With this in mind, the purpose of this article is to briefly look at the differences between two hot fresh food delivery types. These differences are similar, whether it is the crew courier or the solo courier. Additionally, these comparisons are from the solo courier point of view.

One of the most involved delivery types is the catering delivery. Not only can it be time consuming but also resource intensive. The delivery itself is larger with more items every time. Furthermore, the added cargo needs additional thermal protection.

Catering delivery

This is when delivery equipment comes into play. For example, thermal heat bags and small portable carts. Heat bags come in many shapes and sizes. They are also made for different types of carryout food. Such as pizza. Small portable carts are the same way. They come in many shapes and sizes.

Some are best at assisting the courier with extreme amounts of cargo. In other words, the cart saves trips to and from the ride. This saves the courier time. Especially when setting up the delivery.

The catering delivery is still fundamentally the same as any other delivery. There is the pickup, the transport, and then the drop-off. With this in mind, there is still extra time needed and used at both the pickup, and the drop-off. Respectively.

The cash delivery is another type altogether. It is all about the financial side of the delivery pickup and drop-off. So to speak. Furthermore, the courier must opt in to get a cash delivery offer. However, once the courier opts in, the cash delivery is in the queue. It should be noted the cash delivery is rare.

A special comparison

The delivery itself is the same. However, when the courier meets the customer at the door, it will be to make the drop off. Then collect the cash for the delivery. It is important for the courier to collect the appropriate amount. Furthermore, the courier pockets the money.

Subsequently, the cash is deducted from the next series of deliveries. Until it is paid back. Through the app. This is an added delivery type. The courier can opt into it, or out of it. There are couriers that prefer not to carry cash. If this is the case, it is best to choose the opt out option. It’s available when logging into the app. Stay safe out there.
