How to Complete a Just Eat Takeaway At-Home Project

A credit is added to your Just Eat Takeaway account to order or pick up food from a designated Merchant. Receive or pick up your order, take the photos at home, and keep the food after submitting them. The credit covers everything except tips.

Before you start

Set up your Just Eat Takeaway account — it must be registered with the same email address as your Ocus account.

  • When you tap Claim credits for the first time, an activation link is sent to your email — click it to register.

  • Didn't receive the link? Register directly on Just Eat Takeaway using your Ocus email address.

  • Already have an account? Log in with the email that matches your Ocus profile.

Before scheduling, check two things:

  • Does the Merchant deliver to your home address? If not, you'll need to select pickup and go to the Merchant directly.

  • Is the Merchant open on your chosen date? Check their opening hours before scheduling — if they're closed that day, pick a different date.


Complete the Project

  1. Schedule within 3 days of claiming the Project — open your Project and select a date and time within 3 days of claiming it. You do not need to contact the Merchant for at-home projects.

  2. Wait for the "Claim credits" button — about 1 hour before your scheduled time, open your Project. The button "Claim credits" will appear.

  3. Claim your credit — tap Claim credits. The credit is added to your Just Eat Takeaway account within seconds.

  4. Open the app for your country — log in with the email that matches your Ocus account. (See the table above if you're unsure which app to use.)

  5. Navigate to the Merchant — use the Merchant link in your Ocus Project description.

  6. Order exactly what's listed — select only the dishes listed in your Project description. No add-ons or substitutions. Your credit only covers these items.

  7. Choose pickup or delivery — both options are covered by your credit. Select whichever works for you.

  8. Place your order — your credit covers food, delivery, and service fees.

    ⚠️ Tips are not covered by the credit. Tap Complete purchase.

    ⚠️ Order only the dishes listed in your Project description. Using the credit for anything else is considered fraud and may lead to removal from the platform.

  9. Wait for your food — order will arrive (if delivery) or be ready for pickup.

  10. Check in with proof(only possible with a photo) — open Project details, tap Start the session, then tap "I don't have a code".

    • Food arrived → upload a receipt of your order

    • Food didn't arrive → upload a screenshot of the failed order → select "Merchant issue""Other" → choose whether you want to be unassigned ("Cancel session") or "Reschedule" (the credit will be refunded unless used)

  11. Take your photos — once you have the food, set up and take your photos.

  12. Check out — mark the Session as completed.

  13. Upload your photos — upload your photos to Ocus.


What you need to know

  • Order only the dishes listed in your Project description.

  • The credit expires at midnight on the day you claimed it — order as soon as you claim it.

  • The credit works only at the assigned Merchant.


Rescheduling

Only reschedule if the Merchant is unexpectedly unavailable or closed last-minute. Claim your credit again for the new date.


Troubleshooting

Restaurant is not open in the next three days

You can schedule it for the few days after, the sooner the better!

Button not visible?

Check you're logged into Ocus and viewing the correct Project. The button appears approximately 1 hour before your scheduled time.

Can't find the Merchant in Just Eat Takeaway?

Use the direct link in your Project description instead of searching.

Claimed the credit but can't see it in Just Eat Takeaway?

Log out of Just Eat Takeaway and log back in with the email that matches your Ocus account. Make sure the app is up to date as well.

An item you're supposed to order isn't available?

Skip the unavailable item and continue with the rest of the required order. Do not use the remaining credit to order personal items, substitutes, or unrelated products. Only order the items listed in your Project description.

Is the merchant permanently closed?

  1. Take a screenshot of the failed order/merchant page

  2. Check in with the screenshot as proof

  3. Once checked in, select "Merchant issue""Merchant refusal""Cancel session":

Food didn't arrive, or the merchant is unexpectedly unavailable?

Reschedule the Project — your credit will be refunded and available to claim again on the new date unless used.
