Listings notifications

On February 2024 we introduced dynamic delays. The aim of this was to ensure newbies had a better chance of successfully requesting and experiencing the Olio magic. The delays took into account factors like the number of recent pickups a user has had, their star rating, plus additional factors. The delays ranged from zero to a few minutes, and up to a maximum of 1 hour.

Why did we say goodbye to Dynamic Delays?

🤔Many of you found them confusing and frustrating

📊We didn’t find strong enough evidence that they really worked

🤝 Our pick up quotas, which limit free food listings to 100 in every 28-days, have proven to be fairer and easier to understand 

What about pick up quotas?

✅ Pick up quotas remain in place – you can collect up to 100 free food listings in any 28-day rolling period

We’ll keep monitoring fairness and explore new ways to spread the Olio magic even more widely
