How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share it with our staff and service providers as needed to operate the restaurant, such as displaying order details in our admin dashboard so the kitchen can prepare your food. We may also share data when required by law.

Payment information

Online orders are pickup only. We do not collect or store credit card numbers, banking details, or other payment information on our website. Payment is due when you pick up your order at the restaurant.

Cookies and local storage

We use browser cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, maintain your cart, and remember your preferences. You can clear these through your browser settings, but some features may not work properly without them.

Data security

Your data is stored in a secure backend database with Row Level Security, which means your account and order information is only accessible to you and authorized restaurant staff. We use industry-standard practices to protect your information.

Children's privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it.
