What is your returns or refund policy?
Refunds for dine-in experiences are handled on a case-by-case basis by the specific restaurant. For takeout or delivery issues, contact the restaurant or delivery partner promptly. Gift card purchases are generally non-refundable; contact customer service for exceptions.
