Bento terms

Order by midday. Collect that evening. We cook to that headcount. The cut-off is firm because the food is bought and cooked against the number of orders standing at that moment.

Nothing is confirmed until it is paid, and a bento not collected during its window is not refunded. If we cancel a drop, you get every cent back.

• Orders for a given day close at the time shown on that day's card — normally 12:00 midday.
• There is a short grace period afterwards while a payment already in progress finishes. Once that passes the day is closed, and no new order can be started or paid for.
• We cook to the headcount at that moment. That is the whole reason the cut-off is firm.
• Bentos are limited. A day can sell out before the cut-off.

• An order is only confirmed once it is paid. Until then the bentos are held for you, not booked.
• Payment is by card or PayNow through Stripe. You type your card details on Stripe's page, not ours.
• You have 30 minutes from starting a payment to finish it. After that the hold releases and the bentos go back on sale.
• Prices are in Singapore dollars and are what you see at checkout. We are not GST-registered, so no GST is charged.
• Your collection code is issued the moment payment lands, and emailed to you.

• Collect from the pickup point you chose. It is on your confirmation email and on your order page.
• Show your four-digit collection code. It is the fastest way to be found in a busy lobby.
• We email you the evening's time once the route is set, and again the moment we actually arrive. That second email says how long we are staying — normally 15 minutes from arrival, counted from when we got there rather than from a timetable.
• Someone else may collect for you if they have your code.

• If we cancel a drop — too few orders to make the trip, a kitchen problem, anything else — you are refunded in full for that day, and we email you to say so and why.
• Refunds go back the way they came, usually within a few working days. We email you again once the money has actually left, so silence never has to mean guessing.
• If your order covers several dates and only one is cancelled, only that date is refunded. The rest stands.
• Stripe's fee on the original payment is not returned to us, but that is our cost. You always get 100% of what you paid.

• Bento has no accounts yet, so there is no way for a page to prove it is really you. That is the only reason cancelling runs through a message rather than a button.
• Before the cut-off we can usually change or cancel an order.
• After the cut-off the food is already being cooked to that number, so a cancellation is at our discretion.
• Wrong email address on your order? Tell us and we will correct it and re-send your confirmation to the right place.

Every bento lists what is in it and carries allergen tags. Egg is tagged even on a vegetarian bento, because "veg" in an Indian context usually means eggless and we would rather over-tell you.

We cook in a home kitchen, not an allergen-controlled facility. Nuts, dairy, gluten, sesame, mustard and egg are all handled in the same space. We take your notes seriously and we are careful, but we cannot guarantee the absence of any trace. If a trace would put you in danger, please do not order.

Prepared with halal ingredients, not halal-certified. We source halal meat and we do not cook pork, but we hold no certification and do not claim one.
