Frequently Asked Questions
UPDATE 1/10/22
What are the prices different than in the restaurant?
Treehouse Deliveries use to implement a business model that allowed restaurant to decide how much they wanted to mark up their menu to assure that they received a profit on the order. As of Oct 2020, we have pivoted to a model that incorporates the same menu prices in the restaurant, however the restaurant has control over the service fee that is charged to the customer.
***NOTE: We are still in the process of updating all the menus so that it reflects this model. So some menus are a mix of the old method, and the new method.

I have a problem with my order. What should I do?
If there are any problems with your order, please call us ASAP once the order has been delivered. We will confirm with the restaurant regarding the mistake. Once we verify with the restaurant that the problem was on their end, we will either coordinate with your self-employed delivery professional to re-deliver the missing/incorrect item, or refund you the amount. If your delivery professional has to re-deliver, please give the driver the incorrect item. If the incorrect item was correct after inspection, you will be charged for both items.
