How to use Rescuisine?

For Restaurants

A restaurant can create a new pickup by clicking the "New Pickup" button


They will be taken to a page where they can locate their restaurant via Google Maps. Once the location is confirmed they will be taken to the actual form to create the Pickup.

For Volunteers

A voluteer can schedule to do a pickup by clicking on any of the rows then the "Pickup?" button

They will then be taken to a new confirmation page where they can input their phone number.

After inputing their phone number, the restaurant and the voluteer will both receive text messages with a confirmation code for the pickup.
