Ways to drive
A restaurant takes an order on the phone, on their own site, through whatever they already use — and then has nobody to carry it. A partner pickup is that run: the shop keeps the order, Cyca brings the driver.
The merchant's own system already knows where it is going. Making them type it again into a second app is how a delivery gets sent to the wrong street at the worst possible moment.
So the shop pastes the order — the ticket, the confirmation email, the message the customer sent — into one box, or photographs the ticket coming off the kitchen printer. The address, the customer's name, their phone and the order number are read out of it.
One box, with a camera in its corner. The photo is read on our own machines; it is not handed to anyone else's service.
The fields come back as a card to glance at and fix with one tap. Nothing is assumed quietly — one wrong address costs more than ten "check this" prompts.
The distance from the shop's own pin to the door, priced, before anybody is called.
It goes out as a run on the same system every other Cyca delivery uses.
Exactly like every other job, which is the point. A partner pickup is not a different app, a different login or a different set of rules — it is the same offer ring, the same map, the same proof at the door, the same rating at the end.
The one difference is where it came from: the shop handed it over the counter instead of a buyer placing it inside Cyca.
You do not need to sell on Cyca to use this. If your orders arrive somewhere else — the phone, your own site, a message — this is the door: you keep the order and the customer, and you borrow the driver.
It lives in your shop's Delivery tab, as Request a pickup. Your shop needs a pin on the map first, because that pin is the pickup and it is also what makes "Main St" mean your Main St.
A name, an address and a pin. That is all a partner pickup needs from you.
