After you order
Once your order is placed, RoomDrop is watching for the notification from your delivery service. It can take up to 10 minutes for DoorDash or Uber Eats to send the “on the way” text — this is normal and depends on the delivery platform, not RoomDrop.
When we receive it, a drop is automatically created and posted to runners on your campus. You’ll get an in-app notification when a runner accepts. You don’t need to do anything — just wait for the knock.
Tips
Add any delivery notes (gate code, specific entrance, etc.) to your address in RoomDrop. Your runner sees these notes when they accept the drop.
Don’t forget to switch the contact number back to your personal number on future orders if you’re not using RoomDrop. DoorDash and Uber Eats may save it as your default.
