Once you have placed your order on the app or website, you’ll be redirected to the tracking screen. There you can follow your order through all the necessary steps. Additionally, once our runner has picked up your order from the restaurant, a map will be appear where you can track the movements of the runner live as the runner makes way to your location.

If you’re using the app and have enabled push notifications, you’ll also receive notifications as your order makes it’s way to you.
