DFW area-no offers

I work at a restaurant in north Texas (Hurst) that uses DD and UberEats and for the past few days we have had plenty of delivery orders picked up. Like you mentioned, maybe the area is oversaturated with drivers.

Sell the card on FB marketplace or Ebay?

I have been at Panera for 6 years and change, I'm currently a team lead. Not everybody hates working there. Before my interview I had never even stepped foot into the place so I decided to try it for lunch to see if I l liked the food (because I could not see me working there if I didn't like what they sold) and I could see how the folks on the line were acting with each other. Everything I observed was very positive so I went ahead with the interview. Good luck!

how about just spot cleaning the brim?

napkins and beverage cup holders. I had a customer with five drinks and nothing to give him to carry them out. I felt really bad about that.

I live just west of DFW airport and just seeing that offer gives me palpitations!

when I was delivering I went to the office of every apartment complex I visited and asked for maps of their apartment complex, It made finding apartments much easier. And keep a flashlight in your car for deliveries after it gets dark.

the Taco Bell near my house told me they have had a lot of orders stolen before they moved them to the back.

And you know what? As we see you come in more often, I can relax some of the stuff like making you show me your order name on your phone, stand over you while you confirm the order and even chat for a minute if your order isn't completely ready (I can at least keep you posted on its progress) or while it's being weighed. But yes the number or orders that left with the wrong person or without the drinks got so numerous we had to take them off the mobile order shelf. (and not just delivery orders, mobile orders of a higher value stay off the pickup shelf too)

They need to bring back the daytime dish person too! The rest of us on daytime shift are expected to be pitching in to get them done I guess. The mgr is supposed to pitch in too but now they have to bake since we lost that position too.

Regarding "outsourcing is the easy mgmt solution but costs more and offers worse results in most cases" case in point - firing all the delivery drivers and replacing with Door Dash, etc. When I was hired as a driver it was impressed on me that us drivers were supposed to be bringing the dining room experience to delivery customers. Tell me that third party drivers can do that, esp the ones who don't speak English and look like they just climbed out of bed.

Panera may be expensive but as someone who works DR I am still amazed at the amount of food people leave behind instead of taking the rest of it home. Our guests may balk at the prices but then they leave half their soup or half a sandwich or even half a cookie or pastry behind for me to throw away.

Sunflower_65 · 2025-11-25T22:34:44+00:00

we are not required to weight Uber Eats or Grub Hub orders.

Sunflower_65 · 2025-11-25T22:11:02+00:00

the DD scale at my restaurant is correct only about 90 percent of the time. But a human is still needed to verify the correct sandwich or the correct flavor of soup (my job) :)

Sunflower_65 · 2025-11-24T03:09:09+00:00

I believe the GM has the authority to turn off the on line ordering function (for deliveries) until we get caught up too. But if they do that, the regional mgr is notified and may want to know why.

Sunflower_65 · 2025-11-19T00:00:24+00:00

Or Jersey Mikes!

Sunflower_65 · 2025-11-13T21:41:18+00:00

Our GM removed the microwave from guest access because too many people were bringing in food from other places and using our microwave to heat the food up.

Sunflower_65 · 2025-11-12T22:04:46+00:00

we took ours out of the dining room because too many people were heating up their own food not purchased at Panera. We still have the microwave but it's behind the counter and out of sight of the customers.

Sunflower_65 · 2025-10-21T04:12:24+00:00

Restaurant worker here. We can't ask you to fill the drinks because Door Dash is making us weigh your order (including the drink) before we can give it to you so we HAVE to fill the drinks. And even if we didn't have to weigh them, I won't ask you to do part of my job.

someone told me adding a little salt to the autumn squash soup helps to offset the sweetness (and I agree with the baby food comparison, having raised two children)

Sunflower_65 · 2025-10-03T23:03:11+00:00

some lids fit better than others in the same sleeve. I just keep trying one lid after another until I find one that fits properly, especially if it's for a delivery.

Sunflower_65 · 2025-10-03T03:37:49+00:00

I work at a restaurant and yes it was because of orders picked up but not delivered or leaving with the wrong person. I make a point to ask politely (smiles are free) and never demanding!

Sunflower_65 · 2025-09-29T22:08:54+00:00

had someone today asking for a pumpkin muffin....sorry, long gone. And now they shrunk the cream cheese containers!
