I cannot stand Eat24! Worst yet, Yelp uses them as their delivery option, so due to that I will never order from Yelp either. Eat24 is far behind their competition with everything! With Eat24, you cannot track your order, there's no GPS type map displaying the delivery person, unlike its competitors Doordash, Postmates, UberEats, Amazon, Caviar, etc. Due to such lack of what should be considered standard protocol, when ordering and having to use Eat24 via Yelp, the moment your order is placed, you're SOL with knowing where your food is, the status of the delivery and if it will even reach its destination.
Another serious problem with Eat24 that puts them way behind their competitors is how there's no way to modify or edit the tip once the product has been delivered. That is so unacceptable! I never have cash and never will! I will always do everything electronically, so when providing the tip, Eat24 makes you tip upfront when ordering the product for delivery with no option of editing the tip once receiving the product and service! Flat-out stupid and behind the times!
Last night, I ordered from Joe's Pizza via Yelp and again, Yelp uses Eat24. I had to chose the tip up-front when ordering. The pizza was to be delivered within 40-60 minutes. 70 minutes passed and no delivery! I contacted Joe's Pizza and inquired about the delivery and the dude on the phone replied "I'm leaving now"! WTF! The pizza wasn't delivered for 1 hour and 45 minutes! That dude did not deserve the tip that was already left when ordering via Eat24.
Following the call to Joe's Pizza... approx 70 minutes after the order was placed, I tried the "contact us" to Eat24 with the messenger app on Yelp. Their first automated response was regarding how extremely busy they are at that moment with other customers. It was 25 minutes later before someone from Eat24 actually typed a response... no lie, I have the entire history of the conversation saved.
As others have stated, when I told Eat24 to immediately cancel the order and refund me, they tried giving me the run around stating they're not capable of refunding me since I already ordered the product. By now, it had been 1 hour and 35 minutes since ordering the pizza. I had to explain the basic elementary concept of breach of contract to them and how they negligently failed to hold-up their part of the binding agreement. Sure enough following the law lecture, they told me they cancelling the order and refunding me.
There's no way I would ever use Eat24 or Yelp for ordering ever again! As stated numerous times, Eat24 is so far behind it's competitors. With Eat24, one would be better-off with a note in a bottle. You have more control over the ocean currents than you do the extremely old, outdated sub-par product/service of Eat24.
I realize Grubhub purchased Eat24 and has decided to shut it down very soon. Grubhub (the Chicago based company) is another service I refuse to ever use following their purchase of LABite a few years ago. Either way, Grubhub better get with the times too if they're planning to stay in business.
