How to cancel order

Call +971 4 249 0306. Press 1 = customer. Press 2 = support cancels it.
Call support: +971 4 522 7362.
Open the Careem Captain / Partner app → Help → Active order → request cancel with reason. Support phone: TBC.
Open the Keeta Merchant app → Orders → tap the order → Contact Support to request cancel. Support phone: TBC.
1 · Call the customer first
Find the number: tap ⋮ on the order card → Order Details → Phone No.
- Deliveroo / Noon → number shown
- Talabat → use chat instead
"Sorry, this item is out today. Can I swap it for another one — same price?"
Order saved. Cook it. Skip steps 2–3.
Cancel it → step 2 below.
3 · Clear your screen
Marketplace confirmed the cancel? On the order card tap ⋮ → Cancel Order → pick a reason → Confirm.
Courier late / not arriving
- 1Open the order card and check Courier status / ETA
- 2Significantly past ETA, or courier not moving? Call the same platform support line used for cancel
- 3Flag it as a courier issue when support asks — not a kitchen delay
- 4Message your Foodies Only manager the same shift, not end of day
Handed order to the wrong courier
- 1Before handoff, check the courier's name and photo in the app
- 2Match the order number on the bag to the order screen
- 3Only hand over when both match — even if multiple riders are waiting
Customer wants to change the order
- 1Do not change the order yourself in GrubOne
- 2Ask the customer to contact the marketplace app to request the change
- 3If the marketplace confirms the change, they'll push a new order — cook that one
Forgot to include an item
- 1Do not chase the courier — the bag is gone
- 2Notify your Foodies Only manager immediately with the order number
- 3Manager handles refund / redelivery from there — you get back to the line
No internet / can't see orders
- 1Check the router / wifi icon — one bar or crossed = no connection
- 2If down, open the marketplace's own partner app on a personal or backup phone and check for pending orders manually
- 3Tether the tablet to your phone hotspot as a stopgap — orders resume in about a minute
- 4Notify your Foodies Only manager right away — this is not "just a slow night"
No sound, no order
- 1Open GrubOne, tap ⋮ → Settings
- 2Tab Notification — turn everything ON: Full-Screen Alert, Alert Sound, Continuous (plays until you tap the screen)
- 3Scroll down to Grubcenter Notifications → tick your brand
- 4Tab Device → Background Order Alerts → ON
- 5Tap Save
Tablet & app issues
App frozen or won't load
- 1Force-close the app: swipe up from bottom, swipe GrubOne card away
- 2Reopen GrubOne — wait 10 seconds for sync
- 3Still frozen? Hold power → Restart the tablet
- 4Log back in with the shift PIN if asked
Tablet not charging
- 1Try a different USB-C cable — cables die faster than chargers
- 2Swap to a known-good wall socket
- 3Clean the port gently with a dry toothpick — kitchen dust kills the connection
- 4Still nothing after 15 min? Message ops — we ship replacements same-day in-region
Wifi dropped — no orders coming through at all
- 1Check the wifi icon top-right — one bar or crossed = no connection
- 2Swipe down → toggle wifi off, wait 5 sec, back on
- 3Restart the router (plug out 10 sec, plug back in)
- 4Tether the tablet to your phone hotspot as a backup — orders resume in about a minute
- 5Call marketplaces to pause your store until wifi is back — see How to close store
Customer says an item was missing or wrong
- 1Do not promise a refund or replacement on the phone/chat
- 2Take the order number and any photo the customer sent
- 3Forward immediately to your Foodies Only manager — they handle the customer

System feels hard to use / I have an idea
- 1Tell your Foodies Only manager — a text message is fine
- 2Give the exact screen or step that felt slow / confusing
- 3If it's a dish/combo idea, describe it in one line — we'll take it from there
We are one team. For us you are family, and this is more than business.
Got an idea? A dish, a combo, anything you think will sell like crazy? Tell your Foodies Only manager. We listen. Always :)
