# Set up Driver App operations

Start in the Dashboard to prepare the driver account, store relationships, and assignment. Continue in Driver App to check that the driver can sign in and work a delivery.

## Prepare Driver App operations

#### Step 1: Install your Driver App

For the public app listings, open [Free downloads](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/free-downloads/). If your organization uses a branded build, use its approved installation source. See [Open Driver App](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/driver-app/get-started/open-driver-app/) for app startup and [device permissions](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/driver-app/get-started/device-permissions/) for location and notification prompts.

#### Step 2: Set up your driver user

In the Dashboard, use **Delivery → Drivers** to [create or edit the driver account](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/delivery/create-edit-driver/). Confirm that it belongs to the intended project, is enabled, and has the business and group access required for the route.

#### Step 3: Log in to your Driver App

Have the driver follow [Sign in to Driver App](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/driver-app/get-started/sign-in/) with the intended project and account. Review [availability](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/driver-app/orders/find-deliveries/) in the app before checking whether a test delivery appears.

#### Order Sections in the Driver App

Use [Find deliveries](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/driver-app/orders/find-deliveries/) to locate a request or ongoing delivery and [Delivery history](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/driver-app/history/delivery-history/) for past records. The app presents the deliveries available to the signed-in driver.

#### How to Assign Orders to Your Driver in the App

Use the Dashboard's [Assign or change a driver](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/orders/assign-change-driver/) workflow on an approved test order. Have the driver check the request in Driver App and follow [Accept a delivery](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/driver-app/orders/accept-a-delivery/), where applicable. Check the assignment in the Dashboard and the actual order state in Driver App.

#### How to Add a New Driver Manager

Use [Driver managers](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/delivery/driver-managers/) if the project needs a manager. Review the person's access and associate them with the intended group.

#### Delivery Groups Setup Guide

Use [Delivery groups](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/delivery/delivery-groups/) to understand how stores, drivers, and managers relate. Follow [Create or edit a Delivery group](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/delivery/manage-delivery-group/) for setup and the controlled test procedure.
