Compliance
The legal requirements for alcohol sales and delivery vary across regions. Stores and Foodin must ensure that they are in compliance with these laws. Foodin has a compliance service which is used by all Foodin platform. When a cart or order contains alcohol, the request goes to the compliance service, which identifies the region and runs the compliance check.
The following details are used in an alcohol compliance check:
- Store address
- Customer address
- Customer address type (business or residential)
- Customer date of birth
- Delivery time and day
- Alcohol type (wine, beer, or spirits)
- Alcohol quantity
Responsibility for running the checks depend on whether Foodin has the list of items:
- For partner delivery Foodin is informed that the order contains alcohol, but doesn't have the list of items or the customer's date of birth.
- For direct delivery, Foodin is sent the list of items and runs the compliance check on all details.
