How it works

One order, three people, one screen each.

Here is the life of a single order as the customer, the kitchen and the courier each see it.

The order, stage by stage

Four stages, one record

Each stage is settled before the next begins, and everything that happens stays attached to the order - for the customer, the kitchen and the courier alike.

Order placedStage 01 · Order

Customise, then say which note you will pay with

Bread, extras and removals are asked the way the kitchen would ask. Checkout takes the note you will hand over so the change is sorted before anyone leaves.

  • Server re-prices every option
  • Promo budgets enforced server-side
  • Saved addresses pinned on the map

The cash cycle

How cash on delivery stays honest

About 95% of orders are paid in cash, which makes the courier’s satchel the payment rail. Sehteen treats it with the seriousness a bank gives a ledger.

A courier over their ceiling is offered no work until they settle. A counted shortfall stays on their float rather than being quietly forgiven. An editable cash ledger is not a ledger - so ours cannot be edited.
  1. 01Step 1 of 3

    A ceiling on the cash a courier carries

    Each courier has a float limit enforced by the server in job listing, acceptance and the online toggle alike. New couriers start at 1,500 and reach 3,000 after 30 completed deliveries.

  2. 02Step 2 of 3

    Settlement at the office, counted not declared

    Settlement is expected within 24 hours of the first unsettled collection. A clerk counts the cash; the courier is credited what was counted.

  3. 03Step 3 of 3

    An append-only ledger the console can audit

    Every collection, settlement and adjustment is a row that cannot be edited. The console shows outstanding floats, settlement previews and the full history per courier.
