How Does Mzansi Food Work for Restaurants?

Restaurant managers have many questions to ask when partnering with a technology platform like Mzansi Food — from updating your menus, to uploading food photos and   etc. But the choice that likely has the biggest impact on the day-to-day Mzansi Food delivery process is the order management protocol that is, how restaurants receive Mzansi Food orders. 

Here, we’ll explore the journey of a Mzansi Food order to highlight how Mzansi Food works for restaurants. 

How do customers place Mzansi Food orders?

When hungry customers are ready to place a delivery order, they can browse Restaurants on Mzansi Food website www.mzansifood.com or the Mzansi Food App. Customers can search for their favourite Restaurants, or filter Restaurants by cuisine, location, delivery times, promotions and more. Customers enjoy the ease and convenience of browsing thousands of restaurants in a single app, as well as the ability to track their deliveries and get Restaurant-quality food without leaving their couches. Once the customer chooses a Restaurant, they place their order, pay for it right in the app and receive an estimated delivery time. That’s when Restaurants receive the order via their chosen order protocol. 

How do restaurants receive Mzansi Food orders?

The order protocol is the way that Restaurants receive orders from a technology partner like Mzansi Food. Restaurants can choose to receive orders on the  device of  their choice to maximize their profitable efficiency. At Mzansi Food, Restaurants have order protocol:

Use a Tablet/Laptop/Desktop or Smart Phone to receive Mzansi Food orders

If you have your own Tablet/Laptop/Desktop or Smart Phone, you can register with us and login on the Merchant Manager Application — our all-in-one tool for receiving, organizing, and tracking pickup and delivery orders. Mzansi Food can also provide a tablet for you for a small weekly fee. Just order it by info@mzansifood.com.

With the Merchant Manager Application , Restaurant managers can adjust prices and menu items in real time, including deactivating (and reactivating) specific items that are out of stock. The Merchant Manager Application  also helps Restaurant managers coordinate with Delivery Drivers, prepare for large orders, and contact both the customer and Mzansi Food support via chat communication system. 

Be sure your Tablet/Laptop/Desktop or Smart Phone is on loud and the Tablet/Laptop/Desktop or Smart Phone is placed somewhere that is easily accessible by your staff. When a customer places a Mzansi Food order, you will receive a notification on the Merchant Manager Application  allowing you to quickly and efficiently process orders.

Quick tips for successful delivery operations

 

Ensure your food items travel well

To increase the efficiency of your takeout operations, create a streamlined menu featuring a few key items. While you want to include your popular items, prioritize food that will not be a soggy mess by the time it arrives at the customer’s place. Take steps to ensure your food travels well, such as packaging sauces separately, placing hot and cold items in separate bags, and piercing hot food containers for ventilation. Mzansi Food Delivery Drivers will deliver your food with care in insulated food delivery bags that maintain both hot and cold food temperatures.

Optimize your menu for profitability

Update your menu to focus on higher-margin items, best-sellers and dishes that can be prepped in advance to ensure an efficient and profitable off-premise operation. You can also encourage upsells by offering add-ons such as protein to toppings to salads, bowls, burgers, and more.

Keep a close eye on incoming orders

You need to have staff members that monitors and accepts incoming orders from customers. That way, they can make sure new orders are quickly accepted and sent to your kitchen for preparation.

10.    Delivery orders

10.1    Service Availability

Each Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner has a prescribed delivery area. This delivery area may change at any time due to factors such as weather, or demand on our service. This is to ensure that Items reach you safely. Our Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner each decide their own operating hours. That means that the availability of our service, and the range of Restaurant Partners and/or Retail Store Partners from which you can order, depends on the Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner in your area. If you try to order a delivery to a location outside the delivery area or operating hours of a Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner, or the Application is otherwise unavailable for any reason, we will notify you that ordering will not be possible.

 

10.2    Delivery Orders

 

When you place an order through our Application, it needs to be accepted by us or the Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner before it is confirmed. We will send you a notification if your order has been accepted (the "Confirmation Notice"). The contract for the supply of any Item you have ordered comes into existence when we send the Confirmation Notice.

 

You are responsible for paying for all Items ordered using your Account, and for related delivery charges, and for complying with these Terms, even if you have ordered the Item for someone else. Some Restaurant Partners and/or Retail Store Partners operate a minimum order value policy. This will be displayed on our Application. All Items are subject to availability.

 

Restaurant Partners and/or Retail Store Partners may use nuts or other allergens in the preparation of certain Items. Many Restaurant Partners and/or Retail Store Partners will be displaying dish by dish allergens information. Where that information is not available or if you have further questions, please contact the Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner prior to ordering if you have an allergy. Mzansi Food cannot guarantee that any of the Items sold by our Restaurant Partners and/or Retail Store Partners are free of allergens.

When you place an order, you will have the choice to place it as an ASAP Delivery.

Unfortunately, despite our, and our Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner’s best efforts, things do not always go according to plan and factors such as traffic and weather conditions may prevent us from delivering your Item on time. If your order is more than 15 minutes late, and we haven’t notified you giving you the option to cancel your order, we will work with you to make things right unless you have caused the delay (e.g., because you gave us the wrong address or did not come to the door).

 

We will attempt delivery at the address you provide to Us when you place your order. If you need to change the delivery address after you have placed your order, and the order is not yet in preparation, we may be able to change to the address to an alternative one that is registered with your Account if you let Us know via live Chat system, WhatsApp or Call us before the Delivery Driver collects your order from the Restaurant Partner and/or/ Retail Store Partner to you and the new address is within the same zone as the address you originally ordered your Item to.

10.11 Our responsibility for loss or damage

We are responsible to you for any loss or damage that you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or of failing to use reasonable care and skill in relation to your use of our service. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is “foreseeable” if it is either obvious that it will happen, or if you told us that it might happen, for example if you tell us about particular circumstances that might increase the loss or damage arising from our breach of these Terms before you place an order.

We do not exclude or limit our responsibility to you for loss or damage where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes any responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our failure, or our employees’, agents’ or subcontractors’ failure, to use reasonable care and skill; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Items; or for defective Items under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. Subject to the previous paragraph, we are not responsible for any loss or damage that you suffer as a result of your own breach of these Terms, or as a result of any IT hardware or software failure other than a failure in our Applications.

When you place an order, you will have the choice to place it as Delivery, Pick-Up or Dine-In option. For Delivery and Pick-Up, we will tell you an estimated time for your Item before you place the order, but we will attempt delivery as soon as possible; you must therefore be available to accept delivery from the time you place the order.

Unfortunately, despite our, and our Restaurant Partners and/or Retail Store Partners best efforts, things do not always go according to plan and factors such as traffic and weather conditions may prevent us from delivering your Item on time. If your order is more than 15 minutes late, we will work with you to make things right unless you have caused the delay (e.g., because you gave us the wrong address or did not come to the door).

We will attempt delivery at the address you provide to us when you place your order. If you need to change the delivery address after you have placed your order, and the order is not yet in preparation, we may be able to change to the address to an alternative one that is registered with your Account if you let us know via Chat system, WhatsApp or Call Us before the Delivery Driver collects your order from the Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner to you and the new address is within the same zone as the address you originally ordered your Item to. If we cannot change the delivery address, you have the option to cancel the order, but if food preparation has started you will be charged the full price for the Item, and if the Delivery Driver has been out for delivery you will also be charged for delivery.

You will still be charged for the Item and for delivery in the event of a failed delivery if you have caused such failure for any reason.

Reasons you might cause a delivery to fail include (but are not limited to):   

§  You did not come to the door, did not pick up the phone when the Delivery Driver contacted you using the contact information you have provided us

§  You picked up the phone but then failed to provide access within a reasonable time, and the Driver is unable to find a safe location to leave the food.

23.    Coupons and account credit terms

 

Mzansi Food makes available from time to time:

Coupons are promotional credits that may be offered by us or our Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner on our Platform. Account Credit is credit that may be applied to a Customer’s Account at Mzansi Food ’s discretion). Coupons and Account Credits both operate as credits applying to a Mzansi Food Customer’s Account, redeemable (subject to Terms, as set out below) against the cost of Items. Coupons and Account Credits are referred to collectively in these terms (the Credit Terms) as Credits. These Credit Terms apply to your use of any Credits to pay for Items using the Mzansi Food Service. These Credit Terms apply together with the Mzansi Food Terms of Use, which continue to apply unless they conflict with these Credit Terms, in which case these Credit Terms have priority.

 

You can “apply” a Coupon to your account by (i) entering the Coupons code (if any) at the point you place an order, or (ii) by adding any reward that we make available to you in the “Your discounts and offers” section of your account page. Unless otherwise stated, a Coupon that has been applied to your account will remain there until it is “redeemed” against an eligible order or expires (whichever is sooner).  Account Credits are Credits that we apply to your account ourselves. In either case, once any Credit has been applied to your account, the amount of the Credit remains on your account until redeemed as payment for Items, unless it is lost, or, in the case of Coupons, it expires in accordance with the terms of that Coupon. The reasons why Credits may be lost, or Coupons may expire are set out in these Credit Terms.

 

 

Terms that apply to Coupons only

§  Coupons are usually offered subject to Terms, such as time limits, geographic limits, limits to categories of Customer (e.g., new Customers), or

§  use only at a particular Restaurant Partner and/or Retail Store Partner or for a particular menu item.

§  If Terms apply, they will be stated when we offer the Coupon.

§  Some Coupons are only available to new Mzansi Food Customers ("New Customer Coupons ").

§  That means that the Coupon is applied (subject to any other applicable Terms) automatically when the Customer registers a new Mzansi Food Account

§  And will be redeemed when the Customer places their first eligible order.

§  Mzansi Food reserves the right to refuse to allow you to redeem a new Customer Coupon if you are registering a new account using credit card details.

§  Use of a Coupon in payment or part-payment may also be subject to specific Terms applicable to that Coupon only,

§  Such as a specific minimum order value or that the Coupon may only be redeemed at specific Restaurants and/or Retail Store Partners or on specific Items. If the order placed does not comply with the applicable Terms, the Credit may not be redeemed against that order.

§  The payment page on our Site where you confirm your order for Items will show the total order value and the applicable Coupon, if any.

§  If there is a Coupon credit on your Account which does not apply to your order, it will not appear on the payment page.

§  At that point you will have the choice of paying in another way or cancelling the order.

§  Unless we tell you otherwise, all Coupons must be redeemed within one calendar month of the date they are applied.

§  Only one Coupon can be redeemed per order. Each Coupon can only be used once per Customer.  

§  If you have more than one eligible Coupon applied to your Account when you place an order, the Coupons are redeemed in order of expiry date,

§  Coupons cannot be redeemed in conjunction with any other Mzansi Food offer.

§  If you cancel an order made using a Coupon, the Coupon credit will not be restored to the Account and the Coupon cannot be re-used.

§  If the Coupon was a New Customer Coupon, you will no longer be a new Customer and will not be eligible for any subsequent new Customer Coupons.

 

Terms that apply to Coupons and Account Credit

§  Item orders are generally subject to minimum order values, which continue to apply regardless of whether payment or part-payment is by way of a Credit.

§  Credits cannot be exchanged for cash or any other alternatives and have no monetary value.

§  Any attempt to manipulate our Site and our offers of Credits by use of bulk entry via Third Parties, ‘brute force’, masking identity by manipulating IP addresses,

§  Using identities other than their own or any other automated means (including systems which can be programmed to enter), will render the order.

§  Mzansi Food is entitled to take all reasonable steps to protect itself against fraudulent or invalid Credit redemptions.
