Refund and Cancellation Policy

How cancellations and refunds work for guests ordering at a restaurant, and for restaurants subscribing to QueueWho.
1.Cancelling a food order
- Ask any member of staff. An order can be cancelled free of charge until the kitchen starts preparing it.
- Once preparation has started, cancellation is at the restaurant's discretion, because the food can't be resold.
- Dishes the restaurant can't serve (for example sold out) are removed from your bill.
2.A problem with your food
Tell the staff during your visit, so they can replace the dish or adjust your bill. Restaurants decide replacements, discounts and refunds for food and service issues; every change to a bill is recorded with the reason.
3.Refunds for payments
You paid online, but the order couldn't be accepted (payment arrived after it expired, or you were charged twice)
What happens: Refunded automatically to the same account, card or UPI ID

The restaurant receives your payment, so it is responsible for the refund; we make sure the software triggers automatic refunds. If a refund hasn't arrived after 10 working days, contact the restaurant with the bill number, or our Grievance Officer at [email protected].
4.For restaurants: subscription cancellation and refunds
- You can cancel your subscription at any time. It stays active until the end of the period you've paid for, and isn't renewed.
- Free trials can be cancelled at no cost before they end.
- Fees already paid for a period that has started aren't refunded, except where we end the agreement without cause, the Service was unavailable for a major part of the period because of us, or the law requires a refund. Then we refund the unused part, pro rata.
- Fees charged by mistake (for example twice) are refunded in full within 7 working days of being confirmed.
- Refunds go to the account the fee was paid from, with a GST credit note.
