Nairobi traffic (along arterial routes like Mombasa Road, Ngong Road, or Thika Superhighway) and weather conditions can occasionally impact courier travel times. Here is how to check your delivery:
- Live GPS Map: The live tracking screen updates courier coordinates in real time. If the rider is at the restaurant, they are waiting for the kitchen to seal your hot food.
- In-App Call: Once the driver is en route, tap the Phone icon next to the courier's profile in the app to call them directly with masked phone security.
- Delivery Notes: Ensure you added your apartment number, estate gate code, or landmark to help the courier locate you without delays.
Because restaurant partners begin food preparation immediately to guarantee freshness, cancellation windows depend on the order status:
- Before Kitchen Confirmation: You can cancel directly from the order status screen with a 100% full refund.
- After Food Preparation Begins: Orders cannot be cancelled via the app once food cooking has begun. If you entered the wrong delivery address, call your assigned courier immediately through the app to update the delivery drop-off point.
