How to plan a catering order
Settle the guest count first: a catering order is for 1 to 100 guests. While your event is more than 24 hours away you can change the count once; within 24 hours, our catering coordinator has to approve any change or cancellation. Keep guest preferences separate from allergy requirements, and tell us about allergies before you order.
Questions to ask about ingredients
Tell us which ingredient you need to avoid. Ask about sauces, toppings and shared preparation equipment as well as the main dish. Our kitchens are shared, so they can't guarantee an allergen-free environment. If you react to a meal and symptoms may be serious, get medical help first, then report it so a food-safety specialist can follow up.
From kitchen to doorstep
An accepted order goes to the kitchen and then to a courier. Until the kitchen starts preparing it, you can cancel the order or change a dish's quantity once; after that, the store manager has to approve any change. Every order carries a 30-minute delivery promise, and lateness is counted from it.
Following up on a refund
Keep your order number to hand. Refunds return to your original payment method, and card refunds normally appear 5-7 business days after we submit them, so allow that time before following up. Service credits to your Mathaq loyalty account are instant.
