Selling Alcohol via Deliverect (North America)

Each North American delivery channel has specific menu requirements for selling alcohol on a Deliverect. On each platform, contact the delivery partner directly first, to ensure that you are legally able to deliver alcohol in your licensing jurisdiction, and sign any relevant paperwork with the delivery partner.

When adding Alcohol Item names on your Deliverect integration menu, there are certain requirements. To be universally accepted on all channels Alcohol Item names can follow the UberEats Alcohol Item name format:

[Alcohol Title], [optional: quantity]-[volume] [optional: container type] [category] [[xx.x%] ABV]

• Example #1: White Claw Black Cherry, 6pk-12oz can hard seltzer (5.0% ABV)
• Example #2: Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, 750mL red wine (13.5% ABV)
• Example #3: Budweiser, 16oz can beer (5.0% ABV)\

In order to sell alcohol on UberEats via Deliverect, work with your UberEats account manager to ensure the integration is properly configured and approved before adding alcohol to their menu

In Deliverect, tag each alcohol item with the 'Alcohol' tag in the menu builder. If your liquor licensing jurisdiction requires that food be served with any alcohol purchase, tag every food item on the menu with the 'can serve alone' tag in the menu builder.

The hours that alcohol can be sold on UberEats are determined by the merchant's liquor license and local regulations; however, Uber also requires alcohol items to be turned off one hour before the store closes (even if liquor license hours are longer) to give a delivery person time to complete a return if there’s a failed delivery.

Do not add alcohol to a menu without first working with Uber Eats support to sign the Uber Eats alcohol sales terms and conditions. Alcohol items listed on accounts that have not signed the Uber Eats alcohol terms will be removed and the account could be subject to termination from the UberEats platform.

Contact DoorDash directly, and inform them that you would like to serve alcohol via a POS integration. DoorDash will guide you through the paperwork.

DoorDash will reject menu pushes containing alcohol from partners who have not set their accounts up for alcohol service or who have not tagged their alcoholic items with 'alcohol' tags in the Deliverect menu builder.

Contact Postmates support and inform them that you would like to sell alcohol. The Postmates support team or your account representative will guide you through the relevant paperwork.

In Deliverect, tag each alcohol item with the 'Alcohol' tag in the menu builder.

SkipTheDishes

If you already sell alcohol on SkipTheDishes, and are integrating your existing alcohol sales to your Deliverect menu, let your Deliverect CS agent know you would like to sell alcohol upon integration. If you are adding alcohol after you are already integrated, reach out first to your SkipTheDishes account manager. Either way, you will need to fil out the appropriate SkipTheDishes alcohol sales paperwork before starting to sell.

In Deliverect, tag each alcohol item with the 'Alcohol' tag in the menu builder & tag every food item on the menu with the 'can serve alone' tag in the menu builder.

For each category that contains Alcohol on SkipTheDishes, add the following disclaimer to the category description field (adjusting the age to be appropriate for your jurisdiction):

"Age Verification 19+: If the order contains alcohol items, the recipient of this order is required to present valid governent ID to the courier at the time of delivery. This ID must match the name on the order. If the courier is unable to safely verify you ID, or if this condition or any other condition in the SkipTheDishes Terms of Service is not met, the order will not be delivered and will be subject to a $20 fee."

If you will be integrating on multiple platforms, you can use Deliverect's Fine-Tune Menu editing feature to add this category only for your SkipTheDishes menu.

Check with your SkipTheDishes account manager what hours you can legally sell alcohol in your jurisdiction, and if that doesn't match exactly with your store hours, you can adjust your Alcohol category availability on the Deliverect FrontEnd to match with your local alcohol Delivery hours.

If you add alcohol to your SkipTheDishes menu without following the steps above, SkiptheDishes will remove your menu from their site until you contact your Skip account manager and make the necessary changes.
