"abstract century" is a terrible order ID. It doesn't look like an order ID, which can be confusing and will require more training. It's two English words, which might be difficult for non-English speakers (Uber Eats is an international service, and the restaurant staff and the courier might not share a common language). Also, what if the random two words end up being "include cutlery"?
A better set of characters and ensuring that two order numbers in the same restaurant are very different would be a much better solution.
- londons_explore 4y agoI had to set initial passwords for ~100 users of a computer system. I chose two random dictionary words for each user. I had ~5 complaints that I had deliberately picked an insulting password for a user. It turns out that two totally random dictionary words is offensive a surprisingly large proportion of the time. Eg. 'tiny boots', 'hairy moustache', 'gray face', etc.
