Ridercrew / Live rider tracking
Live rider tracking, for the owner and the customer
In Ridercrew the owner sees every rider on shift on a live map, and the customer gets a link showing the rider on the way with a rough arrival time, from the moment the order leaves. The position updates while the rider's link is open on his phone, and is recorded on shift only.
How it works
- Owner map: every rider on shift, when his position last updated, and his trail.
- Customer page: the rider on the map, a rough arrival time and a call button. It opens when the order leaves and closes when it is delivered.
- The rider knows: a bar on his phone says his location is visible to the kitchen, and tracking runs on shift only.
- Retention: rider locations are deleted after 7 days.
When the position stops
Riders work from a browser link, and a browser stops sending location when the phone locks or leaves the page, especially on iPhone. The map then shows the last position and its time, not a guess. The store rider app, which keeps sending location with the phone locked, arrives in March 2027.
Tracking alone is not enough
A map tells you where the rider is, not how much cash he holds. Ridercrew ties every order to its rider and the cash he collected, so at the end of the night each rider has one number to hand over. How to settle rider cash

Questions owners ask
Does tracking cost extra?
No. The owner map and the customer tracking page are part of the plan.
Can the rider turn tracking off?
Tracking runs on shift only and stops when the shift ends. If he closes the page, the map shows his last position and its time.
Do you use Google Maps?
The map is built on OpenStreetMap, so there is no map fee for you.
