Can I put a temporary 'we're slammed, 60 min wait' notice up?Raise your delivery ETA in settings for the rush — it quotes on new confirmations. Setting hours to closed for an hour also works and shows a reopening countdown.Orders & delivery3 August 2026 AnsweredA rider marked an order delivered but never actually delivered it.

Restaurants handle it via the order note ('deliver 7pm') plus their own timing — the note prints on the ticket.Orders & delivery2 August 2026 AnsweredCan I mark twenty deliveries done at once at the end of the night?Yes — tick the cards, "Select all" if you want the page, and press "✓ Mark N as delivered". Up to a hundred per batch; finished ones are skipped and reported.

Subscribed restaurants have no platform-imposed order caps.Orders & delivery2 August 2026 Answered
