Examples of fraud include deliberately increasing the time or distance of a trip or delivery for fraudulent purposes; confirming order or delivery requests without the intention to complete them, including provoking customers to cancel for fraudulent purposes; creating dummy accounts for fraudulent purposes; claiming fraudulent fees or charges; intentionally requesting, confirming or completing fraudulent or falsified deliveries; claiming to complete a delivery without ever picking up the delivery item; picking up a delivery item but retaining all or a portion of the item, and not delivering the entire order; abusing promotions and/or not using them for their intended purpose; disputing charges for fraudulent or illegitimate reasons; or creating improper duplicate accounts.
  • Providing inaccurate delivery information, which can create confusion and diminish trust and customer experience.
  • Sexual assault and misconduct. Foodmama prohibits sexual assault and sexual misconduct of any kind.
  • Unwanted contact with customers after a delivery. Contact should end when the delivery is complete. For example, texting, calling, visiting or trying to visit someone in person after completing a delivery is not allowed.

We deliver all orders in insulated box/bag to ensure a better customer experience and protect the food from movement and weather conditions. Customers expect us to deliver their orders safely and in accordance with relevant safety standards. For example, opening packaging during delivery can lead to foreign matter in food, which may pose a significant food safety risk for customers.

The kitchen team may outline certain delivery guidelines that promote food safety. All delivery persons must adhere to the regulatory guidance and specific kitchen instructions including customer dietary restrictions to ensure better customer experience.

Foodmama policy is to Treat everyone with respect. The following list provides examples of inappropriate conduct.

 

  • Behaviour and comments that could make people feel uncomfortable are not acceptable. Examples include nudges, whistles and winks. Don’t touch or flirt with people you don’t know.
  • Certain conversations that could be perceived as harmless can be offensive. Don’t comment on appearance, perceived gender identity or sexual orientation. Refrain from asking unrelated personal questions.
  • Aggressive, confrontational and harassing behaviour is not allowed. Don’t use language or make gestures that could be disrespectful or threatening. It may be a good idea to stay away from personal topics that can potentially be divisive, such as religion and political beliefs.
  • Keep conversations casual and friendly with Foodmama users or delivery persons. Don’t ask personal questions.
