Communication Guidelines

Clear and professional communication keeps jobs running smoothly and builds trust with customers. Luna AI provides in-app tools to make this simple and safe.

In-App Only

  • Always use NearbyCrew’s in-app chat or call feature to talk with customers or dispatchers.

  • Avoid sharing personal phone numbers, emails, or social accounts — this protects your privacy.

Be Responsive

  • Respond to new job alerts quickly — fast responses increase your chances of getting more jobs.

  • Reply to customer or dispatcher messages within a few minutes whenever possible.

Be Professional

Greet customers politely when you arrive. Keep language clear, respectful, and friendly.

If you’re delayed or need clarification, update through the app immediately.

Quick Situations & How to Handle Them

  • Running late? → Let the customer know your updated ETA.

  • Can’t complete a job? → Inform the dispatcher right away so they can reassign.

  • Customer has a complaint? → Stay calm, note details, and escalate through the app.

NOTE

Good communication = better ratings, repeat jobs, and faster trust-building with both customers and dispatchers.

SECTION 6
Safety & Emergency Protocols

Your safety is our top priority. NearbyCrew and Luna AI are designed to keep jobs secure, but it’s important that every crew member and dispatcher follows the right steps in case of an emergency.

General Safety Guidelines

Only accept jobs through the NearbyCrew app - never take requests outside the platform.

Verify the job details (location, service type, payout) before heading out.

Trust your instincts: if something feels unsafe, pause the job and contact support.

Reporting Incidents

Use the in-app report tool for:

Unsafe locations or customers

Job disputes.

Accidents or property damage

All reports are logged and reviewed by NearbyCrew support.

Emergency

Button

The app includes a built-in Emergency Button that connects you to local emergency services.

Use this immediately if you feel threatened, unsafe, or encounter an accident.

On-Site Best Practices

Stay visible — avoid entering dark or unmarked areas alone.

Keep personal protective equipment handy (gloves, flashlight, reflective vest if applicable).

For roadside or outdoor jobs: park safely, use hazard lights, and stay aware of traffic.

NOTE

⚡ Remember: Jobs can be rescheduled, money can be refunded - but safety is non-negotiable. When in doubt, stop and escalate.

SECTION 7
Quality & Ratings

NearbyCrew is built on trust. Every completed job helps build your reputation through ratings and feedback. High-quality work means more job offers, better payouts, and long-term success on the platform.

IMG_3086.PNG
ChatGPT Image Oct 6, 2025, 11_36_07 PM.png

Ratings Rule Everything

After each job, customers rate their experience with the crew.

Luna AI uses ratings to help prioritize high-performing crew for future jobs.

📊
What Customers Care About

Punctuality – Did you arrive on time?

Professionalism – Were you polite and respectful?

Service Quality – Was the job completed correctly and safely?

Communication – Did you keep them updated if anything changed?

🚀
Why It Matters

Higher ratings = more job opportunities.

Top-rated crew may get priority access to premium jobs.

Consistently low ratings can limit your access until reviewed by support.

ChatGPT Image Jul 26, 2025 at 08_13_39 PM.png

 Tips to Improve Your Ratings

  • Confirm details before starting the job.

  • Arrive promptly (or update ETA if delayed).

  • Use clear, respectful communication.

  • Double-check your work before marking the job as complete.

  • Thank the customer when finishing up.

NOTE

⚡ Quality isn’t just about doing the job — it’s about the full experience. Delivering great service builds trust, repeat customers, and a strong reputation on NearbyCrew.
