FRQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do you have multiple options to order from per day?
A: We offer one set three course meal (entrée, main and dessert). However, if you wish to order a meal on a particular day, but do not like the set choice, we offer frozen meals from previous days.
Q: Can I order more than one meal per day?
A: Yes, of course! Some of our clients order two meals per day.
Q: How do I pay for my meals?
A: At the end of the month, you will receive an invoice (through the mail or through your email). You can pay this by coming into our office in Waratah, or you can call our office and pay over the phone. We do not keep records of your card details, so your details are safe, however you will have to call back at the end of every month.
Q: How do I cancel a meal?
A: To cancel or temporarily stop receiving meals, come into our office or call us on the phone, and speak to our Meal Coordinator who will be able to help you. You are free to cancel at any time, and will only be charged for a cancelled meal if you cancel within a week of when the meal would have been delivered.
