• Keep your voice on an even level
• keep a friendly tone in your voice
• Never put the customer on hold, or speakerphone, without first asking her permission and waiting for her response.
• Listen carefully to the customer and write down any pertinent information
• Ask him to repeat if necessary
• Make sure the customer is clear on the price for the item ordered to avoid the customer receiving an unpleasant surprise when she receives the bill.

Submit all extraneous context about an order or customer in the Delivery request notes. Do not leave these notes to only be voiced to driver upon arrival. The person picking up the order for delivery and the person who will actually deliver the order, are NOT always the same person, and it is not their responsibility to convey information from driver to driver. This information should be in the details for the order that they are provided with from Dispatch.
