How to work with Glovo

Here is how the delivery app Glovo works:

The partner receives the order through the GoDroid (for restaurants) or the Pelican app (for groceries and retail businesses).
Glovo’s algorithm assigns the most suitable courier.
The partner prepares or collects the order.
The courier arrives at the store to pick up the order.
The courier picks up the order.
The courier delivers the order to the customer’s address.
The customer receives the order.

How to log in to the Glovo tools

There are three tools that Glovo partners should use. Let’s go over them one by one to understand their differences and how you can log into them.

Manager Portal is a platform for the business owners that serves two main purposes:

To set up your store at the beginning of your journey with Glovo.
To manage your business performance and implement actions to make it grow.

After your store is created in our system, we will send you an email with your login email and a temporary password inviting you to access the Manager Portal.

GoDroid is the Android application used by Glovo food partners to manage orders and their daily activities.

If you use Glovo’s Sunmi device, the GoDroid app will appear automatically. You need to click on the app, and you will be logged in.

If you use other Android devices, you will receive an email with your login email address and a temporary password. Download the app by following this link, set a new password, and log in to the app.

Pelican is also an Android application to manage orders and their daily activities. However, it is only available for Glovo’s groceries and retail partners.

During your registration process, you will receive an email with your login email address and a temporary password. The app will appear on your Sunmi device. However, if you use other Android devices, download the app using this link, set a new password, and log in to the app.

How to ensure the quality of your menu

High-quality product images can significantly increase your orders because customers are three times more likely to order products with appealing photos.

To ensure the quality of your menu, follow the next steps:

Deactivate unavailable products in the “Menu” section (for restaurants) or “Store Management” section (for groceries or retail partners) of your Manager Portal or GoDroid/Pelican.
Upload high-quality images for each item, captivating customers with visually appealing photos of your products.
Edit each product listed on your menu by adding or modifying descriptions and prices, ensuring accuracy and enticing details.

🚨Please ensure to add a photo to every product in your menu. You will not be able to edit or add a product without a photo.

How to successfully deliver an order

Correct usage of GoDroid or Pelican is key to your success in Glovo. Make sure you have read our how-to guides for your specific app:

If you follow these general instructions, your customers will be satisfied and come back for more orders.

Ensure the device you use to connect to GoDroid or Pelican is connected to the internet, fully charged, at high volume, and stocked with paper.
Open your store at the beginning of each shift to start receiving orders from Glovo customers.
If your store has high-demand hours, you can set a different availability status so your customers can’t order from your store until you are ready to receive orders again. Choose between “Set to busy (30 mins)” (or “Busy for 30 minutes” in Pelican) and “Close for the day”.
If you ran out of a product that was just ordered, call the customer to offer an alternative. If they agree, modify the order in the app. If they want to cancel, cancel the order in the app (if the app allows you to do it) or contact our support team.
To prevent an unavailable product from being ordered again, deactivate it in GoDroid or Pelican.
Go through the order details and the ticket very thoroughly to make sure all products are included.
