Ordering Policy

App RCS Website
  • Orders can be placed via our official mobile app, RCS-enabled messaging, or directly on our website.
  • All orders are confirmed with an automated notification (RCS/SMS/in-app) showing your items, price, and estimated ready/delivery time.
  • Payment is required at checkout unless Cash on Delivery (COD) is explicitly displayed for your area and order type.
  • Edits to an order after confirmation are not guaranteed. You may cancel within 2 minutes of placing an order (see Refund & Cancellation).
  • Menu availability, pricing, and offers may vary by time, location, and channel (app, RCS, website).
  • Alcohol (if offered) is sold only to customers of legal drinking age with valid ID upon delivery/pickup.

Delivery & Pickup Policy

Logistics RCS Updates
  • Delivery Area: We deliver within a [X-mile radius] of our location, subject to driver availability and safety conditions.
  • Timeframes: Typical delivery window is 30–45 minutes. During peak hours or severe weather, times may be longer.
  • Pickup: Choose a pickup slot at checkout. We’ll hold your order for 20 minutes after the slot start time.

RCS Messaging Policy

RCS Communications
  • By opting into RCS, you agree to receive service messages (order confirmation, status, delivery, receipts), feedback requests, and—if you consent—promotional messages.
  • You can opt out of promotional messages anytime by replying STOP. Service messages for active orders may still be sent.
  • RCS content may include rich cards, images, quick replies, and payment buttons for a smoother checkout experience.
  • Message frequency varies based on your activity (e.g., one-time codes, order steps, limited offers).
  • Carrier/OS limitations may cause RCS to fall back to SMS/MMS in some cases.
