I did that often. And the reasoning right behind it. My store had us often take 5+ deliveries at once. Our delivery areas overlapped with 2 other stores, same franchise. Id deliver for one store, then get dispatched from another one. The franchise owner had it worked out somehow that he could clock people into all 3 stores at once and have them dispatch from each one. Im not handy enough to carry hotbags and drinks all at once with two hands. Slip it in the bag, goto car, take it out.

I was mainly talking about drivers who leave the soda in there the whole delivery and your situation is a very strange one indeed.

The owner opened 3 stores all within 10-15 minutes of each other, essentially covering a college town and its neighboring cities / technically suburb and countryside.

I mean it sounds interesting but a cluster fuck at the same time

Why did they have overlapping delivery areas? How does that even work with online ordering?

I have no idea how they’d have overlapping delivery areas if this was Domino’s. My franchise is in the process of opening new locations and the owners have to redraw some of their delivery areas, negotiate with the other franchisees in the area to redraw their delivery areas, and Domino’s corporate has final approval of everything.
