Food Delivery Service Patterns
Food delivery platforms maintain high availability during meal hours with planned maintenance in off-peak windows.
Food delivery apps often show "no restaurants available" during outages rather than an error page. Payment and order tracking run on separate systems — orders placed before an outage usually still arrive.

Check if order was placed (check email confirmation). Try competitor app.

Dispute charge with bank/card if refund denied. File consumer complaint for repeated issues.
