Refund Policy
HOW DO I REQUEST A REFUND?
There are two easy ways to request a refund from a restaurant:
Reply to your email confirmation. All replies are sent directly to the restaurant's customer service team. They will respond to your email in a timely manner and work with you to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Call the restaurant at the phone number in your confirmation email. Your confirmation email will include the address and phone number for the restaurant location from which you ordered. Just give them a ring, and they'll work with you to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
NOTE: If you ordered with us on a third-party platform, all refunds should be processed through that platform. The restaurant team will not be able to issue a partial or full refund for your order.
WHAT IF I HAVE AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY?
If you need to make a change to your order or have some other immediate issue, your best bet is to call the store at the phone number provided in your confirmation email. We do not suggest trying to resolve real-time issues via email because there could be a delay in the restaurant's response.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PROCESS A REFUND?
Once a refund request is submitted it by one of its restaurant partners, it typically takes 1-2 business days for the refund to be processed and show up on your credit card statement.
