Customer guide

Which order updates are sent by text message?

SMS updates can be sent when an order is confirmed, accepted, ready, dispatched, delivered, or cancelled.

When a valid mobile number is provided and SMS notifications are enabled, Orderly attempts to send a text after confirmation and when the restaurant accepts the order. Pickup customers can receive a text when the order is ready; Orderly does not send a separate picked-up or completed SMS for pickup orders. Delivery customers can receive updates when the order is ready, out for delivery, and marked delivered. A text may also be sent if the order is cancelled. SMS delivery depends on the customer notification preference, valid phone information, and provider availability; the live confirmation page remains the main place to check current status.
