ReusePass FAQs

What's the best way to find a ReusePass consumer in the dashboard?

Go to ReusePass → Activity → Rentals → click the search bar and select a query type (ConsumerName, ConsumerID, or PhoneNumber) to narrow your search.

How do I see the total number of consumers?

Go to ReusePass → Consumers. The count shows at the top (e.g., "25+"). Click "Load More" to scroll through more consumers.

How do I cancel a rental?

Go to ReusePass → Activity → Rentals → click the rental row to open details → click "Cancel Rental" in the side panel.

StreamLine FAQs

How do I edit an observation label?

Tap the edit icon on any observation → search for the correct menu item (options are from that day's menu) → select and save. If it's not listed, choose "Label not found."

What does "Label not found" mean?

The correct item wasn't available in the menu. These observations won't appear in production summaries or push back to your MMS, but they count in summary totals.

What does "Label pending" mean?

The observation is still being processed. No action needed.

What are Carryover and Prepared?

Carryover: End-of-day food that can be reused tomorrow. Prepared: Food ready to serve. Both work like waste tracking with different color coding on the scale.

What are Production Opportunities?

AI-powered suggestions for your highest-impact waste reduction. Found under Insights. We recommend checking weekly.

Can I filter observations by type?

Yes! Use the "Observation Type" filter to see only Waste, Carryover, or Prepared.

In our first of several improvements to the rentals experience and charging workflow, we are pleased to share that all dashboard users can now see if and when a returned container was received, including for rentals that have expired.

You may have some questions about this, so we’ve outlined a few things to be aware of:

Where can I see this?

1. In the rentals table, you’ll find the return received information in the “Asset type rented” column that will say “Return received” (with a checkmark) or “Not yet received.”

Rentals list, Asset type rented column

In the "Asset type rented" column of the Rentals list, find the return received details below the asset type name

2. In the rental details page (when you click on the Rental ID link from the rentals table), you’ll find the return received information below the rental status within the rental details section. If the return is received after the rental expires, you’ll also see additional details about the return, including time, location, and asset ID link, below the rental timeline.

Which rentals does this apply to?

You will be able to see if the return was received or not for all rentals that expired or were canceled after the date we released this feature: March 14, 2024. Any rental that expired or was canceled prior to the date we released this feature will not display an accurate return received status.

All rentals with the "Completed" status will display the return received information, as they do today (including rentals completed before and after we released this feature).

Can I filter the rentals list by whether a return was received or not?

Yes, we added a new filter called “Return received?” to the filters on the rentals page.

When you apply the filter, it will update the list of rentals and the rental status totals that appear in the graph above the list.

Will the return received information be included in my charge report?

Yes! As of April 8, 2024 all charge reports will now include a column for "Return Received," so that you may see this information in context of the charges to be executed.

We are making additional improvements to the charging workflow over the next few months, so stay tuned! Check ReusePass Academy for all of our latest product release updates and training materials.
