Frequently Asked Questions
Setup
What do I need to start receiving Drivu orders?
You need a dedicated iPad/Tablet to receive Drivu orders, given that the device will only be used for Drivu and no other apps.
Drivu app will be installed from the App Store or Play Store & has to be open all the time. You will login into Drivu App using the same credentials at time of signup from the website.
Can I use Drivu in the same iPad/Tablet used for the POS or the one used for menus?
The Device should be dedicated & only used for drivu orders. This will cause delays in receiving customer orders, thereby receiving customer complaints. Using the iPad/Tablet for things other than Drivu causes issues & will affect the customer experience.
What are the iPad/Tablet specifications?
Any iPad would work with iOS 10 or above.
A stand with the iPad as it is operationally better to view orders.
For Android tablets, Lenovo 8 inch with 2GB memory is mostly used.
Can we use an iPhone instead of an iPad?
Drivu for shops is currently compatible with iPads/tablets only.
Can we use HotSpot instead of WiFi?
HotSpot from a mobile phone will lead to connection issues, thereby delays in receiving orders & affecting customers experience.
How long does it take to set up the account? & When can we go live?

When will the Drivu team come to the shop for training?
Our training is done remotely only. A 3-minute video is available to watch once logged into the Order’s dashboard. After the staff watches the video, our training team will be giving a “quality assurance” call to make sure all points are covered; after which the account can be live.
Payment
What are the customers' payment options on Drivu?
- Cash paid directly to the store. For cash orders, the cash change due will be mentioned in the order if the customer mentioned it, so the staff can bring it out along with the order. Customers can pay using their physical credit card as well directly to the store.
- If the customers decide to use their credit cards on the shop’s device, then Drivu considers it as a cash order, not online.
- Online payments through Drivu, which makes the experience even more magical as the staff will focus on preparing the order & the customer doesn't need to check his wallet.
When do we get our money from online payments sales?
Invoices are sent monthly along with the detailed sales report & statement of account to the management & accounts.
Account settlements happen on a monthly basis. We transfer the net balance amount to your shop bank account the first week of every month when it’s above AED100 or equivalent in other currencies. There is a AED 30 charge for international transfers.
We will calculate all the fees for both cash and online orders. Drivu fees & online payment fees will be deducted from online payments.

What’s the digital loyalty stamp feature on Drivu? We don't have loyalty cards yet?
That’s fine. Digital loyalty stamps is a free feature we provide to the shops even if they don’t have loyalty cards. The system has a maximum of 10 stamps and it will give a free loyalty drink/item from the shop. It will appear once the customer opens your shop menu. It is automatically recorded so the staff doesn’t need to stamp or remember. When customers use the full stamps, it’ll appear in the iPad/Tablet that the order is paid by loyalty stamps.
What if the pickup point location is far from the coffee shop?
Drivu resolves that easily. The pickup point will appear on the customers map as a green circle. They will know where to stop to get their order.
How to sign the contract?
With your business sign up & online registration, you’ll automatically agree to the terms & conditions which will appear to you at the time of signing up with your details, they can be found here.
Do you have delivery?
No, Drivu is a drive-thru service, customers send their Drive-thru orders & don't like to call, wait or go through the traditional way of ordering. It’s faster, convenient & delightful.
Can we know the average waiting time for the cars waiting?
Average waiting time will be also shown in the order’s dashboard for the shop’s management to see how long the customers are waiting outside. The magical experience is to have the staff waiting for the customer upon arrival based on the time shown in the dashboard.
Can we apply offers and discounts to customers?
Yes, discounts can be applied to certain categories of the menu or the full menu for a specific period of time.
