Stop Losing £1,000s to Refunds: Tactics That Work in Real Kitchens.
Fix 1: Menu Hygiene – Avoid Costly Mistakes
Problem: A single 'missing item' claim = £15-25 loss (the average meal cost). Worse, repeat refunds hurt your Deliveroo ranking.
Solution:
- —Update menus in real time: Assign staff to mark items 'Sold Out' on Deliveroo Hub during peaks
- —Add allergen icons: 25% of refunds stem from dietary errors
Pro Tip: Use Deliveroo's 'Low Stock' alerts to auto-flag near-sellout items.
Fix 2: Packaging – No More Tampering
Problem: Riders opening bags = 'missing item' claims you can't dispute.
Solution:
- —Use tamper-evident stickers with your logo
- —Attach receipts outside bags with waterproof adhesive
Fix 3: The 10-Second Staff Checklist
- —Physical tick-off system with highlighter
- —'Quality Checker' role during peaks
Fix 4: Rider Handoff Protocol
- —Confirm order numbers verbally
- —Require full zipping of thermal bags
- —Track rider ETA in Deliveroo Hub
