  • To those who place internet pizza delivery orders...

    PLEASE remember that if things change (like youir fucking address) PLEASE remember to update your internet information.

    Around 1:30 am we received a call from a sister store in the village just south of my town (about 6 miles away).

    A old (as in has ordered before) customer had placed an delivery internet order. Said order was prepared and sent out. The driver arrives at the the address specified on the ticket and knocks on the door. A very sleepy person answers the door (OHHH not a good sign). The driver inquires if they ordered pizza. Now annoyed person answers in the negative.

    The driver then calls the phone number listed on the ticket. The correct customer answers the phone. The driver askes the customer to verify their address. Revelation upon revelation, the customer gives an entirely different address (way way up in my area).

    Now since this store (by franchise mandate) only runs one closing driver (mine runs 2), and in the fact that both stores are a bit busy, the sister store driver could not make the trek up the customers NEW address (add in another mile or so to the distance between stores) to deliver the order.

    Our store contacts the customer to get the order and to get the CC information.

    I get the delivery. I arrive at the residence and the guy is waiting at the door.

    "WELL IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU GOT HERE!!!!!" <trying to be angry but failing>

    Unaffected I read back the order and hand him the CC slip ($25.06 total) for signiture.

    "IS this gonna be half price?????"

    "Not that I am aware of sir" <fronting ignorance of the situation and trying to make this just another delivery> "The order total is $25.06."

    "Can I make the CC slip say $20???"

    "No I am sorry sir but the order total is $25.06. Could you sign the CC slip please???"

    Customer signs the slip (no surprise straight stiff), I hand him the order and I am off back into the darkness.

    Sorry your (meaning the customer's screw up or forgetfullness or drunkenness) "mistake" does not equal a discount. NEXT time remember to update your internet information.
    I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

      I once had a customer who tried to blame House of Crap for shipping to her old address when she placed the order online. That was a fun call.

          I'm always amazed (okay, not really, but if I don't pretend to be amazed, I might lose my grip on sanity) at people who really do believe they are owed compensation for their own screwups.........

              I hate Internet Orders so much.

              The system is confusing, so often people will try to order something like a half Hawaiian/Half Peperoni Sauasage, but then order a full Hawaiian and remove the Ham and Pinapple while adding Peperoni and Sausage as extra toppings (thus getting charged more than they needed to be), and if they Paid Online, there's not a darn thing I can do about it.

              Literally our only options for online are 'Add Tip' and 'Cancel Order'. I accidentally added a tip to the wrong order online (slip of the hand, easy enough to make), and I had to go through hell trying to get the online company to remove it. Lots of calls were made, lots of stubborness from the online company and I'm not sure that tip ever got removed.

              ANd that's just problems on our end. On the customers end, well, there's no end of problems. THe worst are people who (unitentionally or not) tell us to add on things we have to charge for in the 'comments' section (IE, Extra Cheese...) THe worst was a guy who wanted a three topping, and put all three toppings in the comments section and purchased a Cheese. THAT was fun to deal with.

              In short, Online Ordering BLOWS.

                Oo, I have so much fun with online ordering. I have 1 favorite pizza store (on the grounds they can 99% of the time actually _find_ my home, unlike the other local places - not like I live in town centre or anything...)
                Their website doesn't recognise my postcode (zip), so I have to order from a third party website, and although they have an 'add ingredients' option, there's no 'remove ingredients' option, so I have to put my preferences in the comments box. Which may or may not get read before delivery.

                  I love online ordering from an ordering perspective, but then again I know how to use it properly

                    Yikes! I thought it was frustrating when my favorite pizza place's website wouldn't let me change my address, forcing me to pick up the darned phone! I can't imagine ordering without changing my address.

                      I don't even know if any of the pizza places here have online ordering. Our favorite place doesn't, although they do have a website. I'd love to order online...at least I wouldn't have to yell and repeat myself because it's so noisy there that the order taker can hardly hear me.

                      Their food's really good, though.

                        I started ordering pizza on-line in the last year and it's been going okay for the most part. I print screen the order number and save it so I can check the orders against my bank statement. Found two charges three days apart and only had one saved order screen. Called the bank to dispute it, told the lady that it's possible we did order three days apart but I don't remember doing so and I don't have a screen shot of the receipt so if the pizza place could prove the second order was ours that would be great. Received a letter from the bank saying the restaraunt couldn't prove the charge was ours so we got the money back.
                        Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.

                        I'm a case study.

                          You would have loved to have worked at my store (note heavy scarasm) when my franchise decided to "try an experiment" with my store. The "experiment" was all call center all the time. The in-store phones would not even ring uless the call was purposely transfered to our store or the call came in (direct dialed) on the unpublished store line.

                          OHHHHH the fun we had. The call center reps created soooo many "interesting" situations such as putting entire products into the customer instruction field (like sandwiches, pasta, or soup), totally messing up orders, being VERY pushy with upselling, and pushing through timed orders with the time of delivery in the instruction field (not to mention those with CC which could not be voided and re-entered so our ontime delivery % got totally screwed).

                          At the end of every night, we literally had a stack of screwed up and customer complaint tickets. These were passed along to the franchise "call center liason" person who promptly did NOTHING about them. He seemed overjoyed at the mess he was creating and the bad reputation this experiment was creating.

                          Thius little expeiment lasted 8 excruciating weeks til I assume the complaints to more than overwelming. I know they franchise does not even know how much business we lost during that time.

                            I have no problem with online ordering for pick up... however, it's apparent the place I order from has problems reading the order. Super Supreme, no Italian Sausage, no sauce. What do I get? Supreme, sometimes with sauce. Yes, there is a difference. I want the ham and black olives that come with a super supreme.

                            Last three times I ordered, they screwed it up and on one order, they screwed it up twice.. on a freebie that I got because they screwed up the first two times! I wish there was a comment section on the online order for me to politely remind them to read the bleeping ticket.
                            If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

                              I used to order pizza over the internet when I lived in another town, and it wasn't a problem. Now I just call in because I don't know if my order will even be in the system.

                              Geez, people will demand a discount for anything. I hate the way things are going in retail.
