Introduction

Why Build It?

Vromo is a delivery dispatch service built for the restaurant industry. By using Vromo, the Restuarant Partner can:

  • Effectively manage delivery operations

    • Manually or automatically assign orders to an internal fleet of drivers for fulfillment

    • Communicate with drivers via a dedicated Vromo Driver app (iOS or Android)

    • Supplement internal fleet with DoorDash Drive Dashers

  • Send guests delivery updates with a live tracking link via SMS

    • Provide a link to a branded page with live delivery status updates

  • Access data about delivery operations to continuously improve the restaurant and guest experience

Limitations

  • Currently, Vromo cannot be used to manage delivery fulfillment of 3rd party orders (e.g., DoorDash, UberEats)

  • Location information (e.g., address, phone number) and delivery radii must be configured on both the Vromo Dashboard and the Lunchbox Admin Dashboard

  • To cancel an order, it must be canceled on both the Vromo Dashboard and the Lunchbox Dashboard

Restaurant Experience

NOTE: Below information is provided to our Restuarant Partners as an introduction to Vromo's functionalities. For more detailed information about each feature, please refer to the Vromo support page or reach out to your Vromo representative.

Settings Configuration & Management

Sites

  • Each Lunchbox location, a corresponding site must be created on the Vromo Dashboard

    • Detailed location information – such as address, phone number, GPS coordinates, and delivery radius – is not synced from the Lunchbox Admin Dashboard and must be manually entered into the Vromo Dashboard

  • For detailed instructions on how to create or edit sites, please refer to this Vromo support page

Teams

  • Restaurant Partners can create teams and sub-teams on the Vromo Dashbaord to manage permissions

  • Teams or sub-teams must be set up to create auto-dispatch rules. For more information on the Auto-Dispatch feature, please refer to the Auto-Dispatch section of this page

  • Typically, a Restuarant Partner creates a team for each location and sub-teams by role (e.g., Managers, In-Store Staff, and Drivers)

  • For detailed information about teams and how to set them up, please visit this Vromo support page

Blueprint & Tasks

  • Blueprints are a set of pre-defined tasks that must be completed during delivery fulfillment. An example blueprint may include:

    • Arrive at Pickup

    • Depart at Pickup

    • Arrive at Customer

    • Depart Customer

  • For each task within a blueprint, a pre-configured SMS message can be configured to be sent to the guest

    • For example, when the “Depart at Pickup” task is complete, a Restuarant Partner could send an SMS message alerting the guest that the order has been picked up from the restaurant by a driver.

Auto-Dispatch

  • Auto-dispatch feature allows Restuarant Partners to automatically offer or assign a job based on a pre-defined set of rules

    • This allows the Restaurant Partner to increase delivery efficiency by removing the need for the dispatcher to manually review and assign each incoming order

  • Settings: There are two settings that can impact how quickly an order is fulfilled

    • Jobs Go Underway immediately: When this option is ticked, jobs are automatically “started” without the driver having to swipe “Start Job” on the driver app

    • Offer vs. Dispatch: The “Offer” option allows drivers to see a list of jobs and pick which one(s) they want to accept. The “Dispatch” option automatically assigns jobs to drivers that meet the auto-dispatch criteria.

  • Teams: When creating a new auto-dispatch policy, the Restaurant Partner must select which team or sub-team the rules will apply to.

    • For example, the Restuarant Partner can create different sets of rules for drivers at the Times Square and Soho locations, as long as teams or sub-teams that contain each location’s drivers are created.

  • Rules: Restaurant Partner can select one or more of the following rules for auto-dispatching jobs
