Frequently asked questions by Food Producers

How does Metrobi help food producers with their deliveries?

Building a food business means juggling production, sourcing, customer relationships, and growth — all at once. Managing deliveries on top of that pulls your attention away from every one of those things.

If you’re doing deliveries yourself, every run is time away from production. Every hour spent driving is an hour not spent improving your product, fulfilling more orders, or finding new accounts. Metrobi connects you with a network of highly rated local drivers so you can stay focused on what you do best.

If your kitchen or production staff are covering deliveries, that’s a risk to your output. Delivery management is a job in itself — routing, customer notifications, tracking, handling complaints. When your team is split between production and logistics, both suffer. Metrobi takes the entire delivery operation off your plate.

If you already have your own drivers, Metrobi gives them better tools. Route optimization, live GPS tracking, proof-of-delivery photos, and automated customer notifications, all in one platform. Use the Metrobi driver network to cover overflow orders, new account additions, or volume spikes without adding permanent headcount.

Either way, you stay in control. Set your own delivery rate. Build a preferred team of drivers who know your product and your customers. Ban anyone who doesn’t meet your standards. Get a support rep on every delivery, responding in 76 seconds, day or night.

How does Metrobi work for food producers?

Getting your first delivery out takes minutes. Here is how it works:

  • Post a delivery. Add your pickup address, drop-off locations, vehicle type, delivery window, and what you’re willing to pay.
  • Drivers are alerted instantly. Nearby drivers get a push and SMS notification and can apply immediately.
  • The best driver gets the job. Applicants are ranked by rating, experience, and reliability. The top fit gets the job.
  • Track in real time. Follow your driver’s GPS location and receive delivery confirmations with photos at each stop.
  • Your customers stay informed automatically. Notifications go out at dispatch, en route, and on delivery. No manual check-ins needed.

Most jobs are confirmed within minutes of posting. No phone calls, no manual dispatch, no chasing drivers. The time you used to spend coordinating deliveries goes back to production.

How does Metrobi handle routing for my delivery orders?

Manual routing is one of the biggest time drains for food producers managing their own deliveries. Working out the most efficient order for a dozen stops across a city can easily take 30 to 60 minutes per run. Metrobi eliminates that entirely.

When you post a multi-stop delivery, Metrobi’s route optimizer automatically sequences your stops for the shortest, most efficient path. It accounts for distance, stop density, and delivery windows. You don’t plan the route. The platform does it for you.

Food producers using Metrobi typically save up to 30% on mileage compared to manually planned routes. That means less time in transit, lower delivery costs, and fresher product at the door.

Once a route is confirmed, all stop details are sent directly to your driver’s mobile app. No printed sheets. No phone calls with directions. The driver has everything they need before they leave your facility.

How does Metrobi notify my customers about their deliveries?

Manually texting or calling customers to confirm delivery times is a significant operational burden — especially when you’re managing multiple orders across a city on the same day. Metrobi automates this entirely.

Metrobi’s Receiver Platform sends automated notifications to your customers at every stage of the delivery.

SMS and email notifications go out when the order is dispatched, while the driver is en route, and once delivery is confirmed. Your customer knows their order is on the way without you making a single call.

Live tracking link lets your customer follow the driver on a map in real time. They can see exactly when to expect arrival. No “where is my order?” messages to your kitchen while you’re mid-production.

Proof-of-delivery photos are captured at every drop. Documentation that the order arrived, at the right address, at the right time.

The result is a professional, transparent delivery experience for your customers — without any manual effort from your team.

Is Metrobi better than using traditional couriers or gig apps for food deliveries?

Traditional couriers and gig delivery apps create more operational overhead than they remove. They hand you a rate card, take control of the delivery, and leave you with limited visibility and no recourse when something goes wrong.

You control who handles your product. On Metrobi, you build a preferred team of drivers who know your product, your customers, and your standards. Not whoever a third party dispatches on a given morning.

You control what you pay. Many courier services use complex rate structures with fuel surcharges and hidden fees. Metrobi works differently. You set the delivery price. Metrobi suggests a competitive rate based on the market, but the final decision is always yours. No surprises on your invoice.

You get full visibility. Live GPS tracking, proof-of-delivery photos, and automated customer notifications are standard on every Metrobi delivery. Not add-ons. Not upgrades. Part of every job.

You get real support. If something goes wrong during a delivery, a support rep is available in 76 seconds. Someone who can actually resolve the issue while your driver is still on the road.

How do I get started with Metrobi for my food business?

Getting started is simple. Book a call with our team and we’ll walk you through everything step by step.

We’ve helped food producers at every stage get their delivery operations running reliably. From small-batch producers handling their first customer orders to larger food businesses managing daily multi-stop routes across an entire city. The goal is always the same: get logistics off your plate so you can focus on building your business.

Book a call with our team and get started as early as tomorrow morning.

How much does food delivery cost with Metrobi?

You set the price upfront. Drivers apply based on your rate, so there are no surprise fees. Cost varies by distance, vehicle type, and number of stops.

Typical ranges for food producers:

  • Wholesale multi-stop delivery routes (4 to 6 drops across a city): $10 to $20 per stop depending on distance.
  • Catering deliveries: $20 to $35 based on mileage and vehicle size.
  • One-off deliveries: priced based on distance and mileage.

Use the Metrobi pricing calculator for an instant estimate on your specific route. No commitment required.

Can I control what I pay per delivery?

Yes, completely. You set the rate when posting a job. Drivers see it and choose whether to apply. You pick from qualified applicants. No minimum rates are imposed and no fees are added without your knowledge.

  • You stay within your delivery budget on every order.
  • During quieter periods, adjust your rate to match tighter margins.
  • During peak periods, new product launches, holiday demand, or high-volume weeks, offer more to secure drivers faster.

 

Are there contracts or minimum delivery commitments?

No contracts, no minimums. Metrobi works on a pay-per-delivery model. Use it when you need it, whether that’s a handful of orders a week or daily multi-stop routes across a city. No lock-in period, no cancellation fees.

A small food producer handling their first customer deliveries gets the same platform access as a larger operation managing recurring routes to dozens of accounts every day.

How can Metrobi help reduce my overall delivery costs?

Beyond transparent pricing, Metrobi reduces costs in three concrete ways.

Route optimization cuts miles, time, and fuel. Metrobi sequences your stops for the most efficient path automatically. No manual planning. Food producers typically save up to 30% on mileage compared to manually planned routes. That saving compounds quickly across weekly delivery runs.

You decide what you pay, not a platform. Many courier services charge flat rates or percentage fees that don’t reflect your actual route. Metrobi works differently. You set the delivery price. Metrobi suggests a competitive rate based on the market, but the final decision is always yours. The only platform fee is a flat driver pool access charge, regardless of order size or order value.

Logistics time is a hidden cost. Every hour your team spends on routing, driver coordination, and customer notifications is an hour not spent on production or growing your customer base. Metrobi automates all of it. The time savings translate directly into output and revenue capacity.

How does Metrobi ensure food orders are delivered on time?

For food producers, a late delivery is never just a logistics problem. It’s a food quality problem, and a customer trust problem. Product that sits in a vehicle too long loses freshness. Hot meals go cold. An order that arrives outside a customer’s expected window creates a complaint, a refund request, or a lost repeat buyer.

93% on-time delivery rate. Drivers arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled window. That consistency matters when your product’s quality depends on when it arrives, not just whether it arrives.

Temperature-controlled transport when needed. If your product needs to arrive hot or stay within a safe temperature range during transit, specify it when posting your job. Only drivers with the right vehicle setup can apply. Your meals reach recipients at the right temperature, not just at the right address.

Route optimization reduces time in transit. The more efficiently your route is sequenced, the less time your product spends in the vehicle. Metrobi does this automatically for every multi-stop run.

99.3% reliability rate. Only 7 out of every 1,000 delivery requests go unfulfilled. Backup drivers are always in the pool. A last-minute cancellation doesn’t mean your customers go without.

Real-time GPS tracking lets you monitor every delivery from your facility. If a driver is running behind, you know before your customer does. Your support rep is available in 76 seconds to help resolve it.

What vehicle types are available for food deliveries?

Metrobi’s driver network covers the full range of vehicles needed for food delivery. When posting a job, you specify the type and any handling requirements. Only drivers with the right vehicle can apply.

  • SUVs: suitable for smaller orders, a few stops, or compact product formats.
  • Minivans: a practical option for medium-volume runs carrying multiple orders or mixed product formats across several stops.
  • Cargo vans: the most common choice for multi-stop routes with volume orders across multiple accounts or customers.

You’re never matched with a driver who shows up in a vehicle that can’t carry your product safely.

How are food delivery drivers rated and selected on Metrobi?

Every driver is reviewed by the businesses they deliver for after each job. Metrobi tracks three metrics to surface the best performers:

  • Star rating: current platform average is 4.97 out of 5 stars.
  • On-time score: how consistently drivers hit their scheduled windows. Platform average is 93%.
  • Reliability score: whether drivers complete the jobs they accept. Platform average is 99.3%.

When multiple drivers apply for your job, Metrobi connects you with the best fit based on these metrics. Higher-rated drivers get priority access to jobs. They’re motivated to perform on every delivery, including yours.

What happens if a driver cancels last minute?

A last-minute driver cancellation when you have a full day of orders packed and ready is one of the most disruptive situations a food producer can face. Product is prepped. Customers are expecting delivery. A driver who drops out at the last moment puts the entire run at risk.

A last-minute driver cancellation when you have a full day of orders packed and ready is one of the most disruptive situations a food producer can face. Product is prepped. Customers are expecting delivery. A driver who drops out at the last moment puts the entire run at risk.

Metrobi is built around reliability for exactly this reason.

99.3% reliability rate. Only 7 out of every 1,000 delivery requests go unfulfilled. That’s across all routes, including same-day and high-volume runs.

Backup drivers are always in the pool. If your primary driver cancels, the job is immediately available to other qualified drivers in your area. Your orders don’t go undelivered because one person had an issue.

Support available in 76 seconds. If a cancellation does happen, a support rep picks up immediately. Not a voicemail. Not an email queue. Someone who can find you a replacement driver while your product is still in the cooler.

Can Metrobi handle multi-stop delivery routes for food producers?

Yes. Multi-stop delivery is one of the core use cases Metrobi is built for. Add as many drops as your route requires. The route optimizer automatically sequences them for the shortest, most efficient path.

Works well for food producers delivering to:

  • Direct-to-consumer customers with individual order windows
  • Meal subscription or weekly box customers across a city
  • Retail accounts, specialty grocery stores, and delis with recurring restocking schedules
  • Corporate or office accounts with regular standing orders

One driver, one optimized route, all stops covered. With proof-of-delivery photos at each location.

What is the delivery radius for food orders on Metrobi?

Metrobi covers up to 100 miles from your production facility or kitchen. Enough to reach customers, retail partners, and wholesale accounts across any major metro area and into surrounding suburbs.

Expanding your customer base or adding new retail accounts doesn’t require hiring more drivers. Drivers on the platform can cover the distance. You just post the job.

Metrobi currently operates in 15+ cities across the US, with new markets launching regularly.
