If a customer has redeemed a winning food prize sticker via the Kiosk, remember to take the sticker from them at the Collection Point or when food is delivered to the customer if it’s a Table Service order as prompted on the pick ticket.

FOOD PRIZE REDEMPTIONS VIA THE KIOSK

Five digit codes will be printed in the middle of winning Monopoly food prize stickers, as per the mock-up image on the left. Each five digit code will be specific to the food prize, but will be generic for all stickers of the same type.When a customer claims the food offer through a Kiosk, they need to: • Select the ‘I HAVE A VOUCHER’ button• Confirm they are over the age of 16 • Enter the five digit code that is printed

on their winning Monopoly sticker • Choose their food item

We have made it simpler and easier for customers to claim their food prizes using the Kiosk, preventing any unwanted confusion for our customers when placing their order.

The winning sticker should then be collected from the customer when they are presented with their order (either at the Collection Point or via Table Service).We have made it easier for staff working in Order Assembly, at the Collection Point or with Table Service: • Orders on the OAT screens will show ‘VOUCHER’

when an order contains a food prize• This will also show on the Pick Ticket acting

as a prompt for the Runner / Presenter when a customer has ordered through the kiosk

The food item is then placed in their basket and will include a ‘HAND IN VOUCHER’ message. The customer can continue placing the rest of their Kiosk order in the usual way.

Information is also available within the Manager’s Guide.
