Basic Delivery Communication · 基础外卖沟通
basicHey, this is your DoorDash driver. I'm outside your building but I can't get in. Is there a gate code?
嗨,我是你的DoorDash骑手。我在你楼外面但进不去。有门禁码吗?
Hi! Yes, the gate code is 4523. Then take the elevator to the 3rd floor, apartment 312.
你好!门禁码是4523。然后坐电梯到3楼,312号房间。
💡 在美国用外卖App点餐时,最好在备注里提前写好门禁码和具体指引。这样可以减少电话沟通。
Got it. 4523, elevator, third floor, 312. I'll be up in a minute.
收到。4523,电梯,三楼,312。马上就到。
Great, I'll leave the door open. Oh wait — actually, can you just leave it at the door? I'm in a meeting.
好的,我把门打开。等等——其实你能放在门口吗?我在开会。
💡 美国外卖App都支持 'Leave at door'(放在门口)选项。骑手放下后拍照确认。这在疫情后变得非常普遍。
No problem! I'll leave it right by your door and send you a photo. Enjoy your meal!
没问题!我放在你门口,给你发张照片。享用美食!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I left you a tip on the app.
太感谢了!真的很感激。我在App上给你留了小费。
💡 外卖小费在美国通常是15-20%或至少3-5美元。可以提前在App上设置,也可以送达后追加。提前给小费可以让骑手更积极。
Intermediate Delivery Issues · 进阶外卖问题处理
intermediateHi, I'm having trouble finding your place. The GPS is showing me a parking lot. Can you give me more specific directions?
你好,我找不到你的地方。GPS导到了一个停车场。能给我更具体的路线吗?
Oh, that happens a lot with our address. You're probably at the back of the complex. Turn around and exit the parking lot. You'll see a blue sign that says 'Sunset Apartments.' My building is the second one on the right — Building B.
哦,我们的地址经常这样。你可能在小区后面。掉头出停车场。你会看到一个蓝色的牌子写着 'Sunset Apartments'。我的楼是右边第二栋——B栋。
💡 美国公寓小区(apartment complex)往往有多栋楼,GPS容易导到错误的入口。在App的送餐备注里写清楚 'Enter from Main Street, Building B' 之类的信息会很有帮助。
Okay, I see the sign now. Building B, second on the right. I'm pulling up. What floor?
好的,我看到牌子了。B栋,右边第二栋。我开过来了。几楼?
Second floor, unit 204. The stairs are right inside the entrance on the left.
二楼,204号。楼梯在入口左边。
💡 美国的楼层编号和中国一样,1st floor 是一楼。但英国的 ground floor 是一楼,first floor 是二楼。在美国不用担心这个差异。
I'm here at 204. Heads up though — the restaurant didn't include napkins or utensils. Sorry about that. And it looks like one of the drink lids came loose in the bag.
到204了。不过跟你说一声——餐厅没有放餐巾纸和餐具。抱歉。还有一个饮料盖在袋子里松了。
No worries, that's not your fault. Thanks for letting me know. I'll report the missing items through the app. I appreciate you finding the place despite the GPS trouble!
没关系,不是你的问题。谢谢你告诉我。我在App上报告缺少的东西。感谢你虽然GPS有问题还是找到了!
💡 外卖少东西可以在App上报告,通常会退款或补发。这不是骑手的责任,是餐厅的问题。不要因此给差评或减少小费。
Thanks for understanding! Good idea to report it — they usually give you credit for missing stuff. Have a good night!
感谢理解!报告是个好办法——他们通常会给你积分补偿少的东西。晚安!
