- We ask that stores hold pickup orders for at least 60 minute to allow customers time to pick them up.
- After 60 minutes since the order was placed, you can mark the order as “picked up.” The customer will be charged and you will be paid for the order.
- If a customer arrives at your store after 60 minutes have passed and requests that you remake food, you can advise them to place a new order on the app.
- Food safety is a priority. While holding orders, please ensure that any food or beverages are kept within a safe temperature range (as required by law). If the food is no longer within a safe temperature range or you believe it is unsafe to eat, please dispose of it.
