Hi Precious Jones; I don't understand what you are asking. Does the phone operator work at the catering company or restaurant where the food is coming from?

"Telephone operator" is not the right term. A "telephone operator" works for the telephone company, and used to connect you with the person you wanted to talk with (before automated switches).
Service representative is the term most often used for a person who works for a company you are doing business with.

If you're asking about the choice between "coming" and "going," it could be either.

Maybe you meant one of these:
She says: He now has all the correct info and is leaving with your order. (The delivery guy is at the restaurant, ready to leave.)
She says: He now has all the correct info and is coming back now (from his last delivery) to pick up your order. (The delivery guy is not at the restaurant because he is finishing making another delivery.)

Do you mean that he had your food, but not the correct address?
If so, then he could not go/come back, because he was never there in the first place.
"He has your correct address now, and is on his way with your order."
