Hummus where the heart is. Or where the office is. Or where the home is. So, if you live or work around one of our branches – chances are we can deliver straight to your door. Over the last year, we’ve designed an online ordering system specially for Hummus Bros, taking into account everything that our customers have told us. We think it’s great. Give it a go and give us your feedback!
So, over the next few weeks, we’ll be writing mini manuals on how to use this system. It’s pretty straightforward, but we wanted to show off some of the features. This week, it’s introduction week.
1. Log in to hbros.co.uk/deliveries and enter the postcode for delivery.
If you’re close to St Paul’s, Holborn or Soho – orders over £50 will be delivered free of charge. For smaller orders, a £6 delivery charge may apply.
2. Select a time and date.
3. Select whether you would like to place a Group order, or an individual order.
Individual order:
An individual order is straight forward. The order will be prepared and put in one bag (or box). Choose this option if you are ordering for 1 person, or a meeting/party where everything will be put on a table for everyone to help themselves.
Group order:
Choose Group order option if you are the person who is organizing an order for your desk/office. You will have to insert your credit card details later since you will be paying for the order. You will be asked to put a limit on the spend (since it’s you who is paying) to make sure no one goes crazy on your expense. Later on, you will be asked for the email addresses of all the other people who want to order, and they will receive a separate email with a link to the order. Each person will order what they like and receive a carrier bag with their name on it. Saves the confusion.
If you have selected a group order, the next page will ask you for some login details and password for yourself since you are the order “administrator” (you can set whatever you like, its for your use only). You will also be prompted to insert some caps on the group’s spending. This part is essential because it is your c/c that will be charged and we’re sure you don’t want any of your colleagues to order £1000 worth of food on your expense. Simply type in how many people you are inviting and the maximum spend per person. For example, if you type 10 people, with maximum spend of £10 per person, the system will limit your spend to £100 (excluding any delivery charges).
The next screen will give you 3 options for inviting your colleagues to add to the order:
- Type their email addresses in the box.
- cut/paste the manual link and email to your colleagues.
- Manual entry: Tell your colleagues to visit www.hbros.co.uk/deliveries and enter the order ID and password (these will be shown on this screen for convenience)
Finally, you can also include a message to your invitees, for e.g. “This is the order for hummus bros lunch for tomorrow (my birthday). Feel free to add to the order as I’m paying 
”. If you have entered their emails in the box provided, an email will be sent to those people with a link to place their order.
4. Ordering page: After selecting individual order, you will get to the food ordering page.
Simply select your dishes from the menu. Click “add” after inputting the number of desired dishes.
