What happens if the restaurant I ordered from is closed?

Asked 2 years ago
If a customer places an order with Postmates and the restaurant is subsequently found to be closed, the customer will typically be notified through the Postmates app or via email. In such instances, Postmates aims to provide solutions to minimize any inconvenience. Generally, the order will be canceled, and the customer will not be charged for the closed restaurant's order. Depending on the specific circumstances, the customer may receive a notification that includes options for a refund or credit towards a future order. The Postmates app often suggests alternative restaurants to ensure customers have the opportunity to find other dining options. To check on the status of an order or to see any notifications regarding restaurant closures, customers can refer to the order history section of the Postmates app. It may also be helpful to check for any current updates on the Postmates website, as they provide pertinent information regarding ordering and restaurant availability. In situations like this, staying informed through the app can aid in managing expectations and exploring available options.
