Q. Why should I use Online Ordering instead of phone orders?
Ans. Online ordering has several advantages compared to telephone ordering. Firstly, You will not receive any busy signal, you will not be put on hold, and your order will be send to the restaurant exactly the way you have ordered (precise to the dot). You can see the entire menu online instead of asking the restaurant to speak out the entire menu to you. It’s much easier to inform restaurants about long and extensive orders online than over the phone to avoid mistakes. You would be able to choose from a wide array of restaurants and make informed decisions about the restaurants using user ratings and by reading reviews about them.

Q. I was due a refund but I never received it?
Ans. First of all, Please check whether your money EVER LEFT your account? What happens is, whenever you make an online purchase, the money is RESERVED and not TAKEN from your account. If a request for a refund is sent on the same day, it is possible that the RESERVATION gets cancelled and therefore the money will simply not leave your account at all. Therefore, it is most likely that the money has never left the account at all and so it may seem as if you are not receiving the refund. In that case, it will not show a “refund item” on your statement.
If your money HAS been taken out of your account and you have not received a refund, contact us immediately at 0484 6060000 and we will look into the matter. If a restaurant is unable to fulfill your order we will refund your money within a maximum of 14 working days.
