Couriers App Manual

Everything you need to know to accept, manage, and complete deliveries using the FlashTheSloth Couriers App.

Enable Push Notifications

Couriers receive delivery task notifications via email or text when they have a scheduled shift. You can also open the app and browse available tasks at any time.

Priority tip: Couriers with good task acceptance records and pre-scheduled shifts receive first access to new delivery assignments.

6 Steps to a Completed Delivery

Follow these steps exactly for every delivery task.

1
Step 1

Accept Available Task

When a new delivery task is dispatched, you have one minute to accept it through the app. Act fast — declining or missing the window negatively impacts your courier credit score and delays future task availability.

Keep the app open and notifications enabled during your shift.

Step 2

Pick Up the Order

After accepting, your task status changes to Assigned. Head immediately to the "Collect At" location shown in the app and arrive on time.

Use the address shown in the app — contact support if there are discrepancies.

Step 3

Confirm Order Collected

Once you have received the order from the restaurant or business, tap "Confirm Collected" in the app. This updates the task status to Collected and notifies all parties.

If collecting cash payment, request the POS machine from the restaurant.

Step 4

Drive to Customer

Tap "Drive to Customer" in the app. This notifies the recipient that their order is on its way and updates the delivery status to En Route.

Drive safely and follow the most efficient route to the delivery address.

Step 5

Wait for Acceptance

Upon arriving at the customer's location, tap "Arrive At Customer Place" to update your status. Wait for the customer to come out or buzz you in. The app will reflect your Arrived status.

Be patient and professional — great customer interactions build your rating.
Final Step

Confirm Delivered

When the customer has accepted their order, tap "Confirm Delivered". Your earnings for this delivery are instantly deposited to your account. The task is complete.

Important: If tips are collected via POS machine, take a photo of the customer receipt as proof.

Before You Start Delivering

POS Machine Required

Couriers must request a POS machine from restaurants to collect customer payments. Always confirm the POS machine supports wireless outdoor use before your shift.

Check Wireless Connectivity

Before using the POS machine outdoors, verify it has wireless capability. A non-connected POS machine cannot process payments and will delay your delivery.

Keep App Updated

Always run the latest version of the FlashTheSloth Couriers App. Updates include bug fixes, new features, and improvements to notification delivery.
