Driver Run Sheets

Organise your daily deliveries, assign drivers, and share mobile-friendly run sheets with your team.

What Is the Delivery Runsheet?

The delivery runsheet is where you organise all of your deliveries for a given day. It pulls in every accepted order that has a delivery scheduled on the selected date, including external supplier collections and equipment returns. You can then group deliveries into runs, assign drivers, set departure times, and sequence the stops.

Setting Up the Runsheet

Go to Logistics → Delivery Runsheet and select the date. Puree displays all deliveries for that day in a table. For each delivery you can set:

  • Run number — Group multiple deliveries into a single run (i.e. one trip out from your facility)
  • Departure time — When the driver should leave your kitchen
  • Sequence — The order of stops within a run
  • Driver — Which driver is assigned to the run

All changes are saved automatically as you fill in each field — there's no need to click a save button.

Managing Drivers

Click Manage Drivers from the runsheet page to add, edit, or remove drivers. Drivers are available in the dropdown on the runsheet once they've been created.

Printing and Sharing

Once you've filled in the run numbers, departure times, sequences, and drivers, you can:

  • Print Basic — A simplified PDF with delivery times, customers, addresses, and item counts
  • Print Detailed — A full PDF including the complete item list for each delivery
  • Copy Link — Copies a shareable link to a mobile-friendly version of the runsheet that drivers can open on their phone

Mobile Driver Interface

Drivers can access their deliveries on a mobile-friendly page at www.puree.app/driver using the shared link. The mobile view shows deliveries grouped by run, with each stop displaying:

  • Delivery time and sequence number
  • Customer name and order reference
  • Delivery address with a link to open in Google Maps
  • Driver instructions (if any)
  • Full item list grouped by category

For a detailed walkthrough of the mobile driver feature, including live demonstrations of photo capture, equipment tracking, and automated collections, see the Driver Delivery & Equipment Collection article.

Marking Deliveries as Complete

From the mobile interface, drivers can mark each delivery as complete. When completing a delivery, they can:

  • Add completion notes (e.g. "Left with reception")
  • Attach photos as proof of delivery
  • Record any equipment left behind with the customer

Equipment Collections

When a driver records equipment left behind at a delivery, Puree automatically creates an equipment return task. These appear as Equipment Returns Needing Schedule at the top of the runsheet page.

From there you can schedule the collection for a specific date. Once scheduled, the collection appears on that date's runsheet alongside your regular deliveries, clearly marked as a return. You assign it a run number, driver, and sequence just like any other stop.

If a driver updates the equipment description after a collection has already been scheduled, Puree keeps the existing schedule and flags the update as informational so you don't lose track.

External Supplier Deliveries

If an order includes items from an external supplier and you're collecting those items yourself, the collection stop also appears on the runsheet. The address shown is the supplier's address, and the items listed are those belonging to that supplier.

Tips

  • Prepare your runsheet the day before to allow time for last-minute changes
  • Use the mobile link so drivers always have an up-to-date view on their phone
  • Encourage drivers to record equipment left behind — it saves phone calls and prevents losses
  • Check for unscheduled equipment returns regularly so collections don't get missed
