Driver statuses
Open an order from the Orders page to see its delivery status.- Assigning: Atlas is finding a driver. No driver is matched yet.
- Assigned: a driver is booked. You can see the driver’s contact details and track them on the map.
Hand the right order to the right driver
You are responsible for handing each driver the correct order. Mixing up orders between drivers is a common delivery problem. When a driver arrives, check the order against the driver and order details before you hand it over. A wrong handover sends the wrong food to the wrong customer, and it can’t be undone once the driver leaves.Book a new driver
By default, Atlas auto-books a vehicle by order value:
- $175 and under: motorbike
- $175 to $500: car
- Over $500: van
Cancel a delivery
You can only cancel a delivery while it’s Assigning (no driver yet). Once it’s Assigned, you can’t cancel it yourself. Reach out to the Atlas support team in your shared WhatsApp group and we’ll assist.When matching takes longer
On rainy days or at peak hours, matching can take longer. Our team books several drivers at once to speed up matching when this happens, which can add a priority fee to the order.Problems with a driver
If a driver won’t accept or collect the order, or behaves badly, reach out to the Atlas support team in your shared WhatsApp group and we’ll handle a reassignment.Diner updates
- Diners automatically get an SMS with a live tracking link, so they can see where the driver is.
- If there’s a delay, our support team gets in touch with the diner directly.
