What to do if something goes wrong during an "At home" project

How to report a voucher or delivery issue and choose the right next step.

Before check-in — issue with the voucher or order

"Report a Problem" is only available once the check-in window opens (30 minutes before the session). If something goes wrong before that:

Situation

Action

Voucher invalid, expired, or not showing in the app

Log out and log back in with your Ocus email — if still not working, contact Support via the chat bubble with a screenshot

Restaurant unavailable or order failed

Take a screenshot of the failed order — contact Support via the chat bubble

Order placed, but delivery hasn't arrived

Wait up to 30 minutes — if still nothing, contact Support via the chat bubble with a screenshot

Voucher doesn't cover the full order amount

Contact Support via the chat bubble before placing the order

⚠️ Don't wait until the check-in window opens to report a voucher issue — "At Home" Projects have short availability windows and can expire before it's resolved.


During the session — once check-in has started

Reminder: there will be no code to check-in, so upload a photo or screenshot of the order

Which option to select:

Situation

Select

Voucher issue, delivery problem, restaurant unavailable — anything outside your control

Merchant has an issue

You can no longer complete the Project — personal conflict, wrong location, scheduling issue

I have an issue

⚠️ Selecting the wrong option can affect how your case is handled. Use "Merchant has an issue" only when the problem is outside your control.


How to report a voucher or delivery problem

  1. On the Project page, tap Report a Problem.

  2. Select Merchant has an issue.

  3. Under "What is happening?", choose Other.

  4. In the description field, explain the issue clearly — for example: "voucher issue: invalid voucher" or "delivery was not completed".

  5. Under "How do you want to move forward?", select your next step:

Situation

Next step

Invalid, claimed, or expired voucher

Cancel Session - get unassigned from the Project

Restaurant unavailable or delivery didn't take place

Reschedule - find another time slot immediately, as at-home Projects expire quickly

Voucher doesn't cover the full order amount

Contact Ocus Support via the chat bubble before proceeding

Any other issue

Contact Ocus Support via the chat bubble

6. Tap Confirm.


⚠️ If you need to reschedule, do it immediately after reporting. "At-home" Projects have short availability windows and can expire before you find a new slot.
