Can I cancel a late Grubhub order?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

Hey there! I totally understand that sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel a Grubhub order that’s running a little behind. While I, as a customer service representative, will try my best to assist you, please keep in mind that if the restaurant has already prepared and sent out your order, it’s likely too late to cancel through Grubhub. However, don’t worry! You still have an option to cancel by calling the restaurant directly. Let me explain how you can go about it.

First off, I want to emphasize that time is of the essence when it comes to canceling a late order. The sooner you act, the better chance you have of successfully canceling your order before it’s prepared and sent out. So, as soon as you realize you want to cancel, don’t hesitate to take action.

To cancel your order, you’ll need to contact the restaurant directly. You can find the restaurant’s phone number on the order confirmation page or in the confirmation email you received from Grubhub. If you’re unable to locate it, you can also search for the restaurant’s contact information online or through a search engine.

Once you have the restaurant’s phone number, give them a call as quickly as possible. Be polite and explain the situation calmly. Let them know that you’d like to cancel your order and provide them with the necessary details, such as your name and order number, to help them locate your order in their system.

Please keep in mind that the restaurant’s willingness to cancel your order may depend on various factors, such as how far along they are in preparing it. They may have already started cooking or packaging your food, which could make it challenging for them to cancel. However, it’s still worth reaching out to the restaurant and explaining your situation. They may be able to accommodate your request or find an alternative solution, such as offering a refund or credit for a future order.

If you want to cancel a late Grubhub order, your best bet is to contact the restaurant directly. While Grubhub’s customer service representative will do their best to assist you, the restaurant ultimately has control over the preparation and sending of your order. Remember, act quickly and be polite when speaking with the restaurant to increase your chances of a successful cancellation. Good luck!
