How to Manage a Water Delivery Business (Daily Checklist)
Daily ops for a water depot — what to track every morning and how software can replace scattered notebooks.
Start with today's route
Every morning, confirm which customers are on each rider's list, how many full bottles go on the truck, and expected cash to collect. A single route view beats phone calls to every rider.
Track empties as seriously as cash
Empty 19-litre bottles are deposit at risk. Record empties returned on every stop so you know who still holds your bottles.
Close the day with numbers that match
Compare bottles delivered, cash collected, and empties returned. When the three tie out, your depot is healthy.
