EasyRoutes for catering

Catering gets exactly one delivery window, and it's the one the event starts in. EasyRoutes plans around prep and setup times with optimized routes that leave room to unload.

Dispatch drivers with venue access notes, task checklists, and directions to the service entrance. Clients follow the van with live tracking and arrival updates.

Photo confirmations and signatures close out every drop with a record. Fewer frantic calls from the venue and events that start with the food already in place.

Frequently asked questions

What is EasyRoutes and who is it for?

EasyRoutes is a delivery management and route optimization platform for merchants, local delivery teams, and logistics operators. It helps you plan routes, dispatch to drivers, track progress in real time, and notify customers. Works with Shopify and integrates with other e-commerce platforms via EasyRoutes for Web.

See: Getting Started with EasyRoutes

How does EasyRoutes optimize my delivery routes?

EasyRoutes optimizes deliveries using your selected orders, start & end locations, stop time intervals, time windows, and route limits. You can balance routes, respect capacities, and re‑optimize as plans change.

See: Route Options · EasyRoutes 101

Can I schedule routes in advance to share ETAs?

Yes. Schedule routes for specific dates/times, and ETAs will be calculated for each stop on a route. These ETAs can be shared via customer tracking links and email/SMS delivery notifications.

See: Route Scheduling & ETAs

Can I edit routes after they’ve been created?

Yes. Add/remove stops, drag‑and‑drop stops to reorder them, change drivers or schedules, and re‑optimize at any time.

See: Edit Routes

Does EasyRoutes support time windows for deliveries?

Yes. You can set delivery time windows per stop or import them from supported third‑party date/time apps. EasyRoutes optimizes routes to meet these windows and calculates ETAs accordingly.

See: Time Windows · Supported third-party apps

Can drivers see customer notes?

Yes. Delivery and customer notes from the order can be shown in the driver app; enable these fields in Route/Driver display settings.

See: Viewing Delivery & Customer Notes

What are the digital inventory/loading checklists and how do drivers use them?

EasyRoutes auto-builds a route inventory drivers use as a loading checklist, with Summary, Items, and Orders views in the app. See: Using the Delivery Driver app

Can I show my driver’s real-time location to customers?

Yes. On Premium/Enterprise plans you can display a live driver pin on tracking pages when the driver is 1–10 stops away.

See: Real‑Time Driver Location Tracking

What kinds of proof of delivery can EasyRoutes capture?

EasyRoutes supports delivery photos, e‑signature, driver notes, and automatic timestamps (with GPS location when available) to provide a complete delivery record.

See: Proof of Delivery

Can I set how much time a driver spends at each stop?

Yes. Use the Time per stop route option to add a service-time buffer at every stop, factored into your ETAs and route length.

How do I reschedule or redeliver a failed delivery?

Mark the stop Attempted with a reason, then use Send to another route to move it onto a new or upcoming route for redelivery.

How do I give drivers cold-chain or cooler-handling instructions for temperature-sensitive orders?

Add handling instructions as stop or customer notes, and use required Driver Tasks (e.g., "placed in cooler") so drivers confirm each step.
