Review of Testing

Xènia has tried to place orders on test. Has identified 2 aspects to the process:

  • Accepting orders – Likely to be done by restaurant, as they will be aware of their capacity/availability of ingredients, etc.
  • Assigning to courier – Should be automatic; Xènia to trial on Cycle Coop app.

Need to clarify whether restaurant or Cycle Coop Birmingham will be responsible for 1 or/and 2. Xènia and Richard to try and clarify process on Thursday.
