Cravme provides clear cancellation guidelines balanced with fair compensation for restaurant kitchens.

1. Order Cancellation Policy

  • Instant Cancellation (Within 60 Seconds): If you accidentally placed an order or selected the wrong delivery address, you can cancel within 60 seconds of submission for an immediate 100% full refund.
  • After Restaurant Acceptance: Once the kitchen accepts the ticket and begins chopping ingredients or firing up the tandoor, cancellations are subject to partial charges to compensate the merchant for wasted perishables.
  • Store-Initiated Cancellation: If a restaurant is out of stock of your selected dish and cannot offer a replacement, the order is cancelled automatically with a 100% full refund plus bonus loyalty credits.

2. Reporting Damaged or Missing Items

If an item is missing or packaging arrived damaged:

  1. Open Orders > Select Order > Help / Report Issue.
  2. Select Missing Item or Spilled Packaging and attach a quick photo of the delivered package.
  3. The resolution assistant immediately credits a pro-rated refund to your original payment source.
