Frequently asked questions

About Deliveroo

What is Deliveroo?

Deliveroo is on a mission to transform the way you order food. We partner with the best restaurants in the business – from local hotspots to national favourites – and bring you the food you love, right to your door.

With thousands of choices and a fleet of our own delivery riders, we’ll have your order with you in as little as 30 minutes.

What is the story behind Deliveroo?

When Will Shu moved to London, Deliveroo’s founder and CEO, he was surprised to find that it was nearly impossible to get great quality food delivered. He made it his personal mission to bring the best local restaurants direct to customers’ doors. The business was launched in 2013 with Will as our very first rider.

Eight years on, we now operate in over 200 cities and towns across the UK, working with 50,000 restaurant partners, major grocery partners and more than 50,000 self-employed riders. Deliveroo is headquartered in London, with over 2,000 employees in offices around the globe.

Using Deliveroo

How does it work?

You can order either on the website or by using the Deliveroo app, available on iOS and Android. Simply add your postcode to find all the great restaurants delivering in your area, choose your food and place your order.

Once the restaurant receives your order, they’ll get to work preparing your food and then carefully package it. Once it's all ready to go, a Deliveroo rider will pick it up and bring it to you.

If you want to be super-organised, you can also order up to 24 hours in advance with a scheduled delivery.

What kind of restaurants are listed on Deliveroo?

We personally curate a high-quality and diverse selection of restaurants in your area. This can range from a top neighbourhood Italian trattoria to well-regarded national burger chain.

What times can I order for?

We deliver every day from morning until late at night, and different restaurants will have different opening times. Visit the homepage or the app to see which restaurants are available in your area.

How is the food delivered to me?

Once you’ve placed your order, it’s sent directly to the restaurant for them to prepare and package. Once it’s ready, a Deliveroo rider will pick up your order and bring it to your delivery address.

Why doesn't Deliveroo accept cash?

We only take card payments because it lets us provide you with the best possible experience. It creates a safer working environment for riders too. You can tip your rider through the Deliveroo app after you have received your order. 

Do I have to tip?

Whether you tip or not is completely up to you. You can tip in the app after your rider has delivered your order to you. Riders receive 100% of all tips.

Is there a minimum spend?

The minimum order amount can vary depending on which restaurant you’re ordering from. If there’s a minimum order amount, you’ll be informed at checkout before you place your order.

How do I redeem a voucher code?

If you have a voucher code, you can redeem this in the app or on the website.

If you’re using the app, go to your account and add the code into the ‘Enter a Promo Code’ field. On the website, click ‘Add a Code’ on the checkout page.

Vouchers and Account Credits may not be redeemed on infant formula, baby formula, baby milk products or milk powder.

What do I do if I see an error when adding a voucher or offer code?

Please contact Deliveroo Customer Service via Contact Us for assistance if you see an error message when trying to apply an offer or voucher code.

Do you charge the same prices as the restaurant does in the restaurant?

We encourage restaurants to always use the same pricing for delivery as they do for their in-house menu, although there may be exceptions. Pricing for each menu item is clearly displayed in the app. If you have any questions about menu pricing, please contact the restaurant directly.

Can I place orders in advance?

Yes! You can schedule orders for up to one day in advance and choose any delivery time from midday onwards.

Can I collect my order?

Yes. You can use Deliveroo’s Pickup service to collect orders from participating restaurants nearby. Use the app to find out which restaurants offer Pickup in your area. 

What if I want to cancel my order?

As long as the restaurant has not yet started preparing your order, you're able to cancel your order in order help. If the restaurant has already started preparing your order and you want to cancel, please get in touch with us, you can do this in order help as well.

How is the food packaged?

Packaging always depends on the type of food and restaurant you’re ordering from. Restaurants take great care to use packaging that maintains the correct temperature for as long as possible.

If you have suggestions regarding the packaging or appearance of your food when it’s delivered, please visit https://deliveroo.co.uk/contact/. Click on "Contact Us" to complete the form, and we’ll pass on your feedback to the restaurant.

Some menus include customer feedback about the partner - what is this?

When you place an order on Deliveroo, you may be asked for feedback about your experience. We may then share this feedback with our users, including on menu pages. Deliveroo does not verify customer feedback and accepts no responsibility for it or its accuracy. As set out in our terms of service, customers are responsible for ensuring that any product that they order from a partner on Deliveroo is suitable for them.

Questions about my order

What if something is wrong with my order?

We have a dedicated team that looks after your entire Deliveroo experience, from the moment you place an order right through to it arriving with you.

However, we do understand that sometimes things might go wrong. If this is the case, you can use the Help function in the Deliveroo app to speak to our customer service team and report any issues.

You can also visit https://deliveroo.co.uk/contact/ and click on "Contact Us" to complete the form and one of our team will be in touch.

What if I want to add something to my order?

You can contact our Customer Service team via the Help function in the app and we’ll do our best to make sure you get all the items you want added to your order.

What if my order is late?

Sometimes things outside of a rider’s control can cause a delay. Where we can, we will always try and proactively call you if we become aware that your order might not arrive within the estimated time of delivery, and our team will work to get your order to you as quickly as possible.

What if I’m not around when my rider arrives?

If you think you won’t be at the delivery address in time to receive your order, please let us know by using the Help function in the Deliveroo app.

If your rider can't find you, they will follow a series of steps, such as trying to call you or send you a push notification, once they reach your delivery address. If they’re unable to contact you, they will try to leave your order in a safe place. Please check your emails during the delivery time for any updates.

You’ll still be charged for your order if we can see that your rider has made attempts to reach you. To prevent this from happening, it’s always a good idea to double-check your contact and address details.

I got a call from +44 (0) 113 467 9062 — who is this?

To check where you are, your rider might call you using the Leeds phone number 01134679062. It’ll really help your rider if you can keep your phone close and answer these calls if you get one.

Fees on Deliveroo

How do fees work on Deliveroo?

Delivery fee

The delivery fee is variable, based on your location. Some restaurants use their own delivery drivers. In that case, the restaurant sets its own delivery fee.

You pay less for nearby restaurants and you'll always know how much before selecting a restaurant.

Service fee

This allows us to power your experience with Deliveroo, including adding new features and providing great customer service. A minimum or maximum amount may apply to the service fee, but you will always see the exact amount at checkout.

The service fee is calculated based on the order amount prior to any promotions or discounts which may apply to your order.

Small order fee

When your total is less than the restaurant's minimum, you can still place the order but we'll top it up with a fee. To remove the fee, just add more to your basket.

Inviting friends

I'm not a new user. Can I get free credit if I sign up?

Sorry, this offer is only valid for new users of Deliveroo. And don't keep making accounts, we'll know! (And you wouldn't like us when we're angry). To find out more, please go to our T&C's.

I can't see an invite link – where is it?

You need to have ordered a certain number of times to get your invite link. Once you’ve ordered several times, we’ll email you your link so you can share it with your friends, family, colleagues, anyone and everyone.

Age Restricted Items

Do I need to show ID to buy age restricted items?

It’s important to make sure that age restricted items (alcohol, tobacco) don’t make it into the hands of minors. For this reason, we may ask for a customer’s date of birth if an age restricted item goes into their order basket. We also ask our riders to comply with a “challenge all” standard for deliveries of these age restricted items. This means all customers, whatever their age, will be asked by the rider on delivery to provide identification showing proof of age to receive age restricted items. 

Our riders are required to input the customer’s date of birth into the Deliveroo rider app to be able to mark an order as complete, however this information won’t be available to the rider after this time. Riders do not need to take a photo of the customer’s ID. Our riders are subject to data protection obligations and will only have access to limited customer information required for delivery. We also ensure that our riders receive guidance on keeping customer personal data safe.

To meet industry and legal standards, riders will ask customers for accepted forms of identification (passport, driving licence, identity card). Information on ID verification for age restricted items is also set out in our customer Privacy Policy (Information We Collect From You), as well as in our customer Terms and Conditions (Age Restricted and Regulated Products).

Are CBD products available on Deliveroo?

Some of our partners offer products containing CBD for sale on our platform. It is their responsibility to ensure those products comply with applicable law and are safe for you to use and consume. Please remember that CBD products are:

  • not intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease; 
  • not suitable for those aged under 18 and proof of age may be required on delivery (for more detail on our age verification policy, see our Terms and Conditions);
  • not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding; 
  • not suitable for people taking medication; and
  • not suitable for those with an intolerance or allergy to CBD or hemp derived products.

The UK Food Standards Agency recommends that healthy adults should consume no more than 70mg of CBD per day.

If you have any health concerns, please contact a healthcare professional before using or consuming any products containing CBD.

Anything else?

What if I have allergies?

If you have specific allergies and are concerned about any items on a menu, please check the restaurant notes section of the restaurant menu and for further information contact the restaurant directly prior to ordering. Increasing numbers of Partner Restaurants will be displaying dish by dish allergens information. Where that information is not available or if you have further questions, please contact the restaurant prior to ordering if you have an allergy.

When will you be delivering in my area?

We are rapidly expanding and will hopefully be working with restaurants near you soon!

Does Deliveroo offer company accounts?

We have a dedicated team who will be more than happy to assist you with setting up an account so you can get team morale-boosting breakfasts, next-level meeting lunches and even catering. Get in touch with us at corporate@deliveroo.co.uk.

Is there a Deliveroo app?

There is! It’s available free on the App Store and Google Play.

Customer champions

What is this Customer Champion advert on the app home screen?

This banner showcases local restaurants that have fulfilled several conditions of service quality and customer satisfaction. These include hygiene rating, timely and reliable preparation, high customer ratings, and having completed enough orders on Deliveroo so we can accurately judge their quality. This criteria will be reviewed over time to ensure they reflect our customers’ experiences. 

How are the restaurants selected to be on the list I see when I click on the advert?

Local restaurants automatically qualify when they fulfill several conditions of service quality and customer satisfaction, including hygiene, timely and complete order delivery, and customer rating criteria. 

Can restaurants pay Deliveroo to be advertised on this list?

No, restaurants cannot be featured on this list by paying Deliveroo. The only criteria used are those relating to compliance with hygiene, timely and complete order delivery, and customer satisfaction.

Deliveroo Editions

What is Deliveroo Editions?

Deliveroo Editions are hubs where we host collections of hand-picked restaurants, all specially designed for delivery. They're how we make good on the promise that got Deliveroo started: to connect you with great food from great restaurants, wherever you are, and whatever it takes. Deliveroo Editions are also a platform to support start-up restaurants, helping hot new chefs launch for the first time, or well-loved restaurants reach fans in new places.

If I order from a restaurant, how do I know if it's an Editions kitchen?

Editions kitchens are listed as separate restaurants on our platform - they are clearly labeled as being an Editions partner, and you can order on both the website and the app. When you order from a non-Editions restaurant, your meal will always come from that restaurant, not an Editions kitchen. Whether you chose to order from an Editions kitchen or not, you’ll always be delivered great food made locally.

What is Editions trying to do?

Since Deliveroo started, we've learned a lot about the restaurant industry and about you, our customers. Our restaurant partners have to spend up to a million pounds to launch a new restaurant in a city centre. From customers, we've learned you have really varied tastes – some of you order 10 different cuisines per month – and love the ability to explore exciting food from your homes.

But when you put the two facts together, we realised that although restaurants want to reach people in residential areas, it's sometimes just not possible. Setting up a restaurant always includes a fair amount of risk. What if the location isn't right? Or how do you find the secret sauce to success, before the money runs out? Even some of the world's top rated chefs have described moments on Netflix's 'Chef's Table' when they thought they might have to close their doors.

We wanted to help solve this. To connect our customers who want to eat great, exciting food without always travelling into the centre of a city, with the restaurants who want to reach them.

Deliveroo Editions bridges this gap perfectly: we bring brilliant food to people all over the world as well as provide the ability to help restaurants launch with zero start-up costs.

How does Deliveroo Editions work?

We combine our customer insight, logistics experience and relationships with restaurants all over the world to bring an Edition to you.

Using the technology that powers Deliveroo, we first identify an area that would most benefit from their own Editions hub. We then delve deeper into exactly what's missing from those local areas and what food our customers are craving.

Once we know what's needed, we get to work, trying amazing dishes and partnering with the best restaurateurs in the business to fill the gap. That could be anyone from new chefs with great ideas, to high street favourites, as well as exclusive collaborations with the likes of Michelin-starred Karam Sethi. The choice is yours.

Restaurants then design their kitchens hosted in a Deliveroo Edition. Given their delivery only nature, the chefs are focused solely on creating the ultimate home dining experience.

The result? A community-tailored collection of restaurants, providing the gold standard of food delivery.

Is my meal different when it comes from Editions?

No. Editions kitchens use the same great chefs, ingredients and recipes to bring you the best food. With Editions you get the great food, cooked and prepared the way you love.

Deliveroo Plus with Amazon Prime

If I am a Prime member, can I avail the offer for free Deliveroo Plus?

No. During the redemption process, you will be asked to enter your Deliveroo credentials separately. 

What will happen to the free Deliveroo Plus subscription at the end of the 12-month offer?

If the offer is extended for free by Deliveroo and Amazon Prime at the end of the 12-month offer, we will communicate with you in advance. You will not be auto-renewed into a paid Deliveroo Plus subscription at the end of the offer unless you are switching to this offer from an existing Deliveroo Plus subscription. In the latter case, you will be switched back to your original Deliveroo Plus subscription at the end of the offer.

Why doesn’t Deliveroo recognise my Amazon Prime details? 

Double check you have entered your details correctly. If you are still unable to sign in, head to Amazon Support or select Customer Service at the top bar of the Amazon app or website.

I have Deliveroo Plus Gold and am an Amazon Prime member. Can I still redeem the free Deliveroo Plus offer for Prime members?

Yes, you are still able to redeem the offer for free Deliveroo Plus if you are a Prime member. However, the offer for Prime members will only give you access to Deliveroo Plus Silver for free, which means you are only able to get free delivery from a huge range of restaurant orders over £15 and free delivery from grocery and retail stores on orders over £25 instead of orders over £10 like you’re used to at the moment. Therefore, if you usually place orders between £10 and £25, we recommend you stick with Deliveroo Plus Gold. If you decide to switch to Deliveroo Plus with Amazon Prime, the change will happen immediately. At the end of the offer, you will be automatically switched back to Deliveroo Plus Gold. 

I’m an Amazon Prime member, but I’ve accidentally cancelled my free Deliveroo Plus subscription. Can I re-subscribe?

The change will happen immediately and no further payments for your existing Plus membership will be taken. At the end of the ‘free period’ or if you close your qualifying Revolut account, you will not be re-enrolled to your previous Deliveroo Plus subscription.

I have Deliveroo Plus Gold and am a qualifying Revolut customer. Can I still redeem the free Deliveroo Plus offer?

Yes, you are still able to redeem the offer for free Deliveroo Plus with Revolut. However, the offer for Prime members will only give you access to Deliveroo Plus Silver for free, which means you are only able to get free delivery from a huge range of restaurant orders over £15 and free delivery from grocery and retail stores on orders over £25 instead of orders over £10 like you’re used to at the moment. Therefore, if you usually place orders between £10 and £25, we recommend you stick with Deliveroo Plus Gold. If you decide to switch to Deliveroo Plus with Revolut, the change will happen immediately.

I’m a qualifying Revolut customer but I’ve accidentally cancelled my free Deliveroo Plus subscription. Can I re-subscribe?

Yes you can. Head to the Deliveroo offer page in the Revolut app and follow the on screen instructions to redeem the offer again.

How long will I get free Deliveroo Plus with Revolut?

Eligible Revolut customers can enjoy a free Deliveroo Plus Silver subscription with a qualifying Revolut account for as long as Revolut continues to make Deliveroo Plus Silver available as part of those plans (the 'free period'). If you downgrade to a Revolut product that does not qualify or if Revolut withdraws the offer, this Subscription will end. You will not be auto-renewed into a paid Deliveroo Plus subscription at the end of this Subscription.

Payments

What do I do if I have a charge I do not recognise?

Deliveroo finds that unrecognised charges can often be attributed to a friend, coworker, or family member using your payment method. We ask that you check with your family and friends to see if they may have used your card to place an order via Deliveroo.

Otherwise please visit https://deliveroo.co.uk/contact/ and click on "Contact Us" to complete the form with the following details.

  • Last four digits of the credit or debit card used
  • The card issuing company (such as Visa or MasterCard)
  • The expiry date of your card
  • The dates and amounts of the transactions
  • The country and currency registered to your card
  • The debiting party (eg. DELIVEROOCOUK, DELIVEROOIE)
  • The email address associated to your Deliveroo account (if user)

Why do I still see a charge for a cancelled order?

It may take a few days for the payment to disappear from your account statement, but don't worry – we won't take any money for this order. If you can still see the transaction on your bank statement after 3 working days please contact our support teams.

How do I check the status of my refund?

1) Your full or partial refund was processed shortly after you have placed the order but is not appearing on your bank statement.

If your refund was processed within 8 hours of placing your order, the payment will show as voided. This means you were never actually debited for your order. Instead, the funds for this transaction would have returned to general availability in your bank account after 72 hours.

2) You can't see the full amount of your refund returned on your bank statement?

If you've paid for your order partially with card and part credit, this might be the reason. Our refunds reflect the ratio of Deliveroo Credit to card payment that is used to place the original order. For example, If 50% of an order was paid for by credit, then 50% of any sized refund on that order will return to a customer's Deliveroo account as credit. If this was not the case then please visit https://deliveroo.co.uk/contact/ and click on "Contact Us" to complete the form with the following details

What is Klarna?

Klarna is now available on Deliveroo as a new way to pay at the checkout on orders over £30. You can pay now, pay later or spread the cost of your Deliveroo order over three payments.

To find out more about Klarna, see here. To read the full T&Cs, see here.

Community Guidelines

At Deliveroo we want our customers, riders and restaurant and grocery partners to have the best possible food delivery experience. At the same time, we want to ensure that the communities we work with are safe. These guidelines are designed to help ensure that everyone who uses the Deliveroo platform has a safe and positive experience. 

Customers

Be respectful: Our riders are at the heart of our business, collecting food from our restaurant and grocery partners and delivering it to your door. We ask that you treat riders with respect and report any behaviour that you find unprofessional to us directly by contacting Customer Support, so we can take appropriate action. We want everyone who uses Deliveroo to have a great experience, and being respectful to one another is key. 

Be prompt: When you receive a notification that your rider is on their way to you, please ensure that you are ready to collect your food at the time indicated in the app. This is so that our riders do not have to spend time waiting around for customers to come and collect their food when they could be working. Additionally, we ask that you use ‘Delivery notes’ at checkout to indicate where you would like your food to be delivered to, so that your rider does not have to search for your location.

Fraud: Fraudulent activity undermines the trust that we have built with our community. Committing fraud is a criminal offence. We have a number of measures in place to monitor fraudulent activity from customers, as well as riders and restaurants and grocery partners. If an account is found or suspected to be engaging in fraudulent activity, we will take action which may result in:

  • Deactivation of your Deliveroo account; and/or
  • Escalation to the relevant authorities. 

How we investigate potential infringement 

If we are made aware of a customer who is acting in breach of these guidelines, we will investigate the report before taking any action on the account. These investigations are always led by someone on our team, and customers will always be notified if we decide to take any action. We have shared similar guidelines with riders, which you can read about here, and restaurants and grocery partners, which you can read about here

Table Service

Why are you stopping Table Service?

As Covid restrictions have been relaxed and most restaurants no longer require customers to order at their table, we'll no longer be offering table service. You'll still be able to order for pick up and delivery.

Why are you stopping Table Service?

No, customers will still be able to place orders for pick up and delivery as normal.

Top Up Orders

What is the top up order feature?

After placing a restaurant order, you may be able to place an additional order of grocery items from selected grocery and specialist partners (if available in your geographic zone) without incurring any additional service fees.

You’ll see a timer on your screen showing you how long you have to place your additional order. If you place and pay the order before the timer reaches zero, the service fee for the second order will be waived.

Will any other fees apply to my top up order?

Minimum order value is still applicable to all these orders, so if your order doesn’t meet this amount you’ll be charged a small order fee. 

Delivery fees will be charged if applicable.

Will minimum order values apply to my top up order?

Yes. You’ll be informed on this amount before confirming your order.

Will my orders be delivered at the same time?

Your top up grocery order will be delivered by a separate rider, and you can track the progress of both of your orders in the app. 

Will placing a top up order affect my restaurant order?

No. You place a top up order only after your restaurant order has been accepted by the restaurant, and this will be classed as a separate order, from a different partner. 

What happens when the timer runs out?

Your items will still be in your basket, but you will no longer benefit from the free service fee. Both, delivery and service fees will apply to that order if you choose to check out.

Public authority requests

How can a public authority submit a request for information to Deliveroo?

We have a dedicated team that responds to requests for information from public authorities.
