What is the average restaurant delivery time?
The average restaurant delivery time varies based on volume and time of the day. We usually quote between 60 to 90 minutes to allow for possible incidental delays like heavy traffic, long preparation times in busy restaurants, and poor weather.
We strongly recommend Lunch food delivery reservations between 11:30 –12:30 be made the prior day, as that time period gets booked quickly. We also suggest planning ahead, if at all possible, to guarantee your delivery time, especially for large orders.

What is the restaurant delivery charge and food order minimum?
The restaurant delivery charge is $9.99 for Corporate, Residential and Hotel deliveries, no matter how big your order is, that’s it! There is a minimum food order of $20. Certain restaurants may require higher delivery minimums based on your location from the restaurant.

Can I order food delivery from multiple restaurants?
Yes, you can order food delivery from more than one restaurant, especially for large catering orders where you need multiple types of food, but we do require that you meet the minimum order and pay the normal delivery charge for each restaurant you order from.

What are my payment options when I get food delivered?
Corporate: Cash, Credit Card, Company Check (company check address must match delivery address), House Account, and Gift Certificates.
Residence/Hotel: Cash, Credit Card, and Gift Certificates.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Diners Club Credit Cards are accepted. All prices do reflect a 3.99% cash discount. We do not accept personal checks or gift card credit cards.

Can I sign up for a Corporate House Account?
Yes, our accounting department is available to sign up corporate house accounts by simply calling (949) 951-2500, x3215 or Toll Free at (800) 510-3663, x3215 during normal business hours Monday-Friday.

Why can't I choose a restaurant or specific date and time for food delivery?
The restaurant delivery time and date requested may not match with the available restaurant delivery hours, or the restaurant may be placed on a temporary vacation which means the restaurant is not currently offering food delivery orders via ROTR. It is also possible that you are requesting a restaurant delivery date and time that cannot be met by our service or restaurants. If there is a restaurant and/or food delivery time, that is not being accepted when you are ordering online, please contact a customer service representative at (800) 510-3663 option 2.

How do I know if my online food order was placed?
Login and go to your "My Account" section and then click the "Order History" button to see the status of all current and past restaurant food deliveries you have placed. Also, with every food delivery you place online, you will receive an automated e-mail confirmation to the e-mail address you log in with. If an e-mail is not received, please call (800) 510-3663, press option 2 (customer service) and provide your e-mail address to verify the order being placed.

If this was your first online restaurant delivery order with our service, and you do not receive a phone call or voicemail message from ROTR to confirm your order, it is possible that the order had to be cancelled due to an invalid phone number or suspicious delivery address. If you did not receive a phone call from ROTR on the date of your delivery for your first online order, please contact us immediately.

How do I add-on to my restaurant food delivery order?
After a food delivery order has been placed online you can add-on to the order through the website for up to 2 hours before the food delivery time. To do so, login to your "My Account" page and select the Edit/Duplicate button.  If the button is not available, please contact customer service at (800) 510-3663, option 2 for any item add-ons or deletions.

How do I cancel a restaurant food delivery order?
Call (800) 510-3663 and press option 2 for customer service. Please have your invoice number available. Cancellations must be done at least 2 hours prior to the delivery time and will require restaurant approval if 2 hours notice is not provided for the cancellation. If a restaurant has already prepared food items, you will not be allowed to cancel items that have already been prepared by the restaurant. Because of email delays, please do not email cancellation requests.

Do I have to place my restaurant food delivery order on the Internet or can I call my food delivery order in?
No, you don’t have to place your restaurant food delivery order online. Restaurants on the Run customer service representatives are available 8am – 8:30pm Mon - Fri and 3:30p – 8:30p Sat – Sun PST.
Call (949) 951-2500 or Toll Free (800) 510-FOOD

Is placing my restaurant food delivery order online safe?
Yes, Restaurants on the Run has taken your security and privacy very seriously and has taken all necessary precautions to receive and store your data securely. We use Thawte security on all payment/personal information pages that is date stamped to verify security.

Who gets the gratuity when I order restaurant food delivery from ROTR?

100% of your gratuity goes directly to your mobile server. Mobile servers are contracted and use their own transportation/gas and work hard to make sure that your restaurant food is delivered on-time and accurate. A 15% minimum gratuity for the services provided is required on all food deliveries. The gratuity is calculated on restaurant food total, beverages/catering accessories ordered, restaurant delivery fee and cash adjustment (if necessary). Since the tip is mandatory, the tip is considered to be a taxable item, so please note that the tax will increase based upon the selected tip amount applied to the food delivery order. Breakfast and non-standard food delivery times require an 18% gratuity.

Gratuity for out of Area Restaurant Food Deliveries:  Out of area restaurant food deliveries, are subject to an additional tip charge based upon the distance from the selected restaurant to the desired out-of-area delivery location.

Tax-Exempt Customers:  If your organization has documentation stating that they are tax-exempt, please contact our call center for further details for processing your tax-exempt orders.


What is the Cash Adj. fee on my restaurant delivery invoice?
All of our prices reflect a 3.99% cash discount. When a food delivery order is not paid for with cash, the 3.99% is added back on the order and is reflected as a Cash Adj. Fee. This policy is to encourage cash payments for orders because the processing and credit card payment receiving system, can take up to 5 – 7 business days whereas cash is an immediate payment.

Billing and Gift Certificates   Back to Top

Why is my credit card statement showing that I am being charged more than I signed for and more than the ROTR invoice states?
All credit card transactions receive a pre-authorization for an additional 10% in the event any additions are made on the order. The pre-authorization will be removed within 2 – 3 business days and the final charge will be processed for the amount on the invoice or for the amount the customer signed for at the time of delivery. If the pre-authorization amount causes any problems for you, please contact your financial provider for further assistance.

Does my credit card need to be present at the time of the food delivery?
Yes. ROTR requires that a customer must provide the credit card at the time of the food delivery for an imprint and signature from the credit card holder. This credit card imprint policy is in place for the protection of credit card holders/owners and is a requirement of ROTR’s credit card processing company. If the credit card can not be present at the time of delivery, please contact us at (800) 510-3663 so that we can instruct you how to fax a credit card authorization form to ROTR.

How do I purchase food as a gift for another party, and I will not be at the food delivery location to provide my credit card?
Please call (800) 510-3663 option 2 for customer service, and have your invoice number ready. Keep in mind that a working fax machine is required to complete the payment authorization process for gift orders. ROTR will send an authorization form to be filled out and signed and then faxed to (949) 951-7700. This will prevent the driver from collecting cash or an alternate payment method from the recipient. If this situation is going to be a recurring event, we recommended that you purchase gift certificates for the payment of gift orders.

How do I purchase gift certificates?
You can now purchase gift certificates online to send by e-mail, mail or FedEx by clicking here or you can call toll free (800) 510-3663, x3211 and leave a message. You will receive a call within 24 hours to verify your gift certificate order and schedule a delivery date.
