Why Alternate Contacts Improve Order Accuracy
John
Last Update 25 days ago
Many delivery orders fail when customers don't answer their phones. An alternate contact number ensures:
Driver coordination for precise drop-off instructions
Real-time updates about delays or changes
Smooth handoff when primary number is unavailable
📞 Fewer missed orders - Drivers reach someone every time
🎯 Accuracy - Correct addresses and special instructions confirmed
⭐ Higher satisfaction - Orders arrive correctly and on time
Encourage customers to provide backup numbers during checkout
Train staff to request alternate contacts for phone orders
Add field for alternate contact in your online ordering form
Pro Tip: Make alternate contacts optional rather than required to maintain conversion rates.
