Quickstart

​

Step 1: Download the app

​

Step 2: Create your account

Sign in with your phone number. RoomDrop uses phone-based authentication — no password needed.

​

Step 3: Add your delivery address

1. Open Account → Delivery Preferences
2. Add your dorm building and room number
3. Set it as your primary address

This is the address your runner will deliver to. You can save multiple addresses and switch between them.

​

Step 4: Start a drop and get your number

When you’re ready to order food, open the RoomDrop app and start a drop. We’ll generate a phone number for this order — it’s unique every time. Copy that number. You’ll use it in the next step.

​

Step 5: Place your food order

1. Open DoorDash or Uber Eats
2. Build your cart and go to checkout
3. Before confirming, find the Send as gift option
4. Enter the RoomDrop number we gave you as the recipient’s phone number
5. Confirm your order

That’s it — you’re done with your part.

​

Step 6: Sit back

RoomDrop starts a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and will send you push notifications as your drop moves through each stage. You don’t need to open the app — we’ll keep you in the loop automatically. It can take up to 10 minutes after you place the order for your delivery service to send us the notification. That’s normal.
