How to close store

  1. 1Open GrubOne
  2. 2Tap the menu (top right)
  3. 3Tap Store Management
  4. 4Tap your channel — Deliveroo / Talabat / Noon
  5. 5Tap your channel — Careem Food
  6. 6Tap your channel — Keeta
  7. 7Store Open → OFF · no new orders
  8. 8Or Busy Mode → ON · fewer orders, store stays open
ℹ Note
End of shift? Do nothing — the store closes by itself (Serving Hours).
⚠ Why
Noon: use Busy Mode. Store Open does not work for Noon (unsupported).
Careem Food

Currently GrubOne toggles may not control Careem Food. If your store keeps receiving orders, open the Careem Partner app directly and toggle Store closed there.

Keeta

If Store Open in GrubOne doesn't apply, open Keeta Merchant app → Store statusClosed.

How to cancel order

⚠ Critical
GrubOne can't cancel — only the marketplace can.
Talabat

Open the talabat partner app → Help Center Get SupportLive Order(s).

Deliveroo

Call +971 4 249 0306. Press 1 = customer. Press 2 = support cancels it.

Noon Food

Call support: +971 4 522 7362.

Careem Food

Open the Careem Captain / Partner app → Help Active order → request cancel with reason. Support phone: TBC.

Keeta

Open the Keeta Merchant app → Orders → tap the order → Contact Support to request cancel. Support phone: TBC.

1 · Call the customer first

Find the number: tap on the order card → Order Details Phone No.

  • Deliveroo / Noon → number shown
  • Talabat → use chat instead
Say this

"Sorry, this item is out today. Can I swap it for another one — same price?"

Yes?

Order saved. Cook it. Skip steps 2–3.

No?

Cancel it → step 2 below.

3 · Clear your screen

Marketplace confirmed the cancel? On the order card tap Cancel Order → pick a reason → Confirm.

⚠ Why
If you skip this the kitchen still sees the order and may cook it.
SOS🚴

Courier late / not arriving

  1. 1Open the order card and check Courier status / ETA
  2. 2Significantly past ETA, or courier not moving? Call the same platform support line used for cancel
  3. 3Flag it as a courier issue when support asks — not a kitchen delay
  4. 4Message your Foodies Only manager the same shift, not end of day
⚠ Why
Why: cold food from a late courier still lands as a rating hit on the kitchen unless it's flagged as a courier issue.
ℹ Note
Support numbers are the same as in How to cancel order. Don't dial random numbers.
SOS🤝

Handed order to the wrong courier

Prevention first, recovery second — this one is expensive.
  1. 1Before handoff, check the courier's name and photo in the app
  2. 2Match the order number on the bag to the order screen
  3. 3Only hand over when both match — even if multiple riders are waiting
⚠ Critical
If it already happened: call platform support immediately (same contacts as Cancel) and notify your Foodies Only manager the same shift — not end of day.
TRB✏️

Customer wants to change the order

⚠ Needs verification
[Ops: confirm — does Talabat / Deliveroo / Careem / Noon / Keeta support editing an order in progress via chat/support, or must it always go through cancel-and-rebook? Script depends on the answer.]
  1. 1Do not change the order yourself in GrubOne
  2. 2Ask the customer to contact the marketplace app to request the change
  3. 3If the marketplace confirms the change, they'll push a new order — cook that one
Kitchen
TRB🥡

Forgot to include an item

  1. 1Do not chase the courier — the bag is gone
  2. 2Notify your Foodies Only manager immediately with the order number
  3. 3Manager handles refund / redelivery from there — you get back to the line
ℹ Note
Prevention: bag-check against the order screen before handoff, every order, no exceptions.
Tech
SOS📶

No internet / can't see orders

More dangerous than "no sound" — nothing rings, nothing shows, and it looks like a quiet day.
  1. 1Check the router / wifi icon — one bar or crossed = no connection
  2. 2If down, open the marketplace's own partner app on a personal or backup phone and check for pending orders manually
  3. 3Tether the tablet to your phone hotspot as a stopgap — orders resume in about a minute
  4. 4Notify your Foodies Only manager right away — this is not "just a slow night"
⚠ Critical
Why: an outage of even 20 minutes during peak can mean a dozen missed orders with no visible warning.
06🚨

Red banner

Red banner = Order injection failed. The order is stuck between the marketplace and GrubOne.
  1. 1Tap Resync on the red banner — up to 3 tries
  2. 2Still red? Call the marketplace, then your Foodies Only manager
ℹ Note
You'll see "Order injection failed · Resync" at the top of the order. Resync usually clears it in a few seconds.
07🔇

No sound, no order

  1. 1Open GrubOne, tap Settings
  2. 2Tab Notification — turn everything ON: Full-Screen Alert, Alert Sound, Continuous (plays until you tap the screen)
  3. 3Scroll down to Grubcenter Notifications → tick your brand
  4. 4Tab DeviceBackground Order Alerts → ON
  5. 5Tap Save
⚠ Why
Why: the tablet didn't ring. Fix it once — done.
ℹ Note
Also: tablet volume all the way up (hardware button) and Do Not Disturb off.
08🛠

Tablet & app issues

Quick fixes when the hardware or app misbehaves. Try in order.

App frozen or won't load

  1. 1Force-close the app: swipe up from bottom, swipe GrubOne card away
  2. 2Reopen GrubOne — wait 10 seconds for sync
  3. 3Still frozen? Hold power → Restart the tablet
  4. 4Log back in with the shift PIN if asked
ℹ Note
Never uninstall the app — you'll lose the login. Call your Foodies Only manager first.

Tablet not charging

  1. 1Try a different USB-C cable — cables die faster than chargers
  2. 2Swap to a known-good wall socket
  3. 3Clean the port gently with a dry toothpick — kitchen dust kills the connection
  4. 4Still nothing after 15 min? Message ops — we ship replacements same-day in-region

Wifi dropped — no orders coming through at all

  1. 1Check the wifi icon top-right — one bar or crossed = no connection
  2. 2Swipe down → toggle wifi off, wait 5 sec, back on
  3. 3Restart the router (plug out 10 sec, plug back in)
  4. 4Tether the tablet to your phone hotspot as a backup — orders resume in about a minute
  5. 5Call marketplaces to pause your store until wifi is back — see How to close store
⚠ Why
Why: no wifi = no orders arrive but your store still looks open — rating drop.
⚠ Needs verification
[Ops: confirm whether kitchens print tickets before publishing this section]

After the order
TRB

Customer says an item was missing or wrong

⚠ Needs verification
[Ops: confirm the exact line kitchen staff should say — e.g. apologize, do not admit fault, forward to CX/manager with order number. Needs a short approved script per the same pattern as the cancel-call script.]
  1. 1Do not promise a refund or replacement on the phone/chat
  2. 2Take the order number and any photo the customer sent
  3. 3Forward immediately to your Foodies Only manager — they handle the customer

Which brand am I cooking?

Multi-brand kitchens run several delivery brands from the same line. This card is restaurant-specific — ask your Foodies Only manager to fill it in during onboarding.

Ask your Foodies Only manager for your kitchen's brand card if this table is empty.

Feedback
TIP💡

System feels hard to use / I have an idea

Not a bug to fix yourself.
  1. 1Tell your Foodies Only manager — a text message is fine
  2. 2Give the exact screen or step that felt slow / confusing
  3. 3If it's a dish/combo idea, describe it in one line — we'll take it from there
ℹ Note
We listen. Always. You are family — that's the whole point.
From us, with love

We are one team. For us you are family, and this is more than business.

Got an idea? A dish, a combo, anything you think will sell like crazy? Tell your Foodies Only manager. We listen. Always :)
