I have used Beyond Menu since 2015 and regularly order lunch for pickup through the website. I found a great little Chinese restaurant nearby and they never get my order wrong, I've never been overcharged, and the order is received quickly (much easier than making a phone order). I have ordered from multiple restaurants in several cities. The only times I have had a negative experience was when the restaurant neglected to monitor their online orders. Either that, or they chose to stop accepting online orders without alerting Beyond Menu. Thanks for helping me get my Kung Pao chicken fix on a regular basis.
Place an order last night, first only one place show delivery time "30-60 minutes". Nothing on email received confirming order, not great service but ok. Then after 75 minutes went ahead and called restaurant, only to find out it was CLOSED. Sure glad I did not use a credit card. Total waste of time, since restaurant uses the service after they re-opened have to consider that going again since they don't check up on their support businesses.
Tried using Beyondthemenu for the first time today and I was VERY unhappy. 20-25 minutes after I had placed my order for pick-up, I was already standing in line at the restaurant to pay when I got a phone call from the restaurant asking me what my order was because they just got a call about my order but it did not specify what my order was. I had to wait an extra 15 minutes for my food! Totally defeated the purpose! Very unhappy with this service, use skipthedishes instead.
Waited 1 hour for our food delivery - no word. I called restaurant to be told that the order was cancelled by BM. Called Beyond Menu who said they tried to call and couldn't reach me - though no call registered on my phone. Without emailing me or trying to call again they just cancelled the order. Again no notification. Restaurant now processing the order directly and dinner will arrive another hour later (2 hours total). Just call restaurant directly - do not use BM.
Hi S. W,
We apologize for the inconvenience. Before cancelling an order, we make it a process to always call the customer and inform them of the cancellation unless a voicemail isn't set-up yet then we wouldn't be able to notify the customers. Can you please provide us further information about the order? You may reach out to us at BeyondMenu.com Customer service (630)776-3590.

First and last time I'll use this service. When I called the customer service line, it went to a voicemail. The delivery man apologized for it being so late but no other follow up and never received a call back from the message I left.
Hi Kim C.,
Sorry for the late delivery. We would like to make sure this will no longer happen again and make preventive measures leading to such. May we ask for more information about the order and the restaurant information so we can assist you further? You may also contact BeyondMenu.com Customer service at (630)776-3590 for further assistance. Thank you.

1 - There is no real way to contact them. You can leave them a message on their site and you will NEVER get a response, I have tried about 12 times.
2 - Food mods are not an option ever?!? I like ordering pizza for example. If I order from any pizza place on this site, and if I choose a named special pizza, I have no option to add extra toppings. WTF?
Hi Mione,
We understand your situation and would like to correct the problem. Add on items are actually dependent on the restaurant's menu they sent us upon set-up. If you're having a trouble adding an item you can reach out to us at our hotline numbers and we'll be more than willing to do it for you. For this matter, we would like to know more about the restaurant and the order so we can coordinate with them and make necessary menu corrections. Feel free to reach us on our hotline numbers at 630-776-3590.

Like many below me, I ordered online, went to the restaurant for pick-up and found BeyondMenu had cancelled the order. They said they "called" and got no reply. Maybe because I was on my way to the restaurant, if, in fact, they called. If they need to call to confirm, then why are we online and state this on the website.
Hi Mac F,
We apologized for the inconvenience. These measures are part of our security check to make sure the payment details are fully verified and no unauthorized transactions go through. We would like to know more about the order details so we can check what happened. You may reach us at BeyondMenu.com Customer service at (630)776-3590 for further assistance. Thank you.

I went to place an order at our favorite Japanese take-out. I had to register with beyondmenu.com to do so. I also placed my order and entered my credit card info. When my son went to pickup our order, he was told it was never received. I called the phone number for beyondmenu.com and my call went directly to voice mail. I left a detailed message, along with a call back number. It is now 4.5 hours later, with no returned call from beyondmenu.com. I tried searching "Previous Orders" on their site. In incorrect grammar I received a "Not ordered" message.
Tip for consumers:
RUN AWAY!

They called me many times saying they are the best online ordering service, I signed up with them. But a month later I found out they are actually hijacking my google listing. When I called and ask to release my page back. They never did. And never got my money back either. Worse online ordering ever.

I ordered pizza with Beyond Menu for my son's sleep over and THEY canceled the order! They "attempted to contact me" by calling but hung up without leaving any message. Then when I called an hour later after finding an email that they had cancelled the order I was told I was being rude for getting upset and that my order was canceled because "the restaurant had an open problem". I asked three times if I heard right and apparently I heard right, Whatever that means! I will never use them again - nor Villa Roma Pizza as long as they use them. Adding in response to Beyond Menu response below that I contact them: No, I won't call your company. I tried that already and the person I spoke with didn't even make sense. It's a scam company as seen by the many many reviews on here. I feel like I got off lucky!
Hi Valerie S.,

If I could have given no stars I would have. These people are not customer friendly and they do not try to help you in anyway. I would not order through them ever again. If your people (restaurants) are rude that should be a problem with your company. I called to cancel the order that did not get canceled. The restaurant lied and said they had already sent the driver out when in fact he had not left the store. I explained to beyondmenu and they did not care. Total waste of time and yes it was a chinese food order.
Hi Willona F,
Sorry for the inconvenience. Can you provide to us the order number so we can check the order and have it cancelled for you? Please let us know what happened so we can further assist you at our CS hotline: 630-776-3590.

A restaurant website used this company for their online orders and they are the WORST!
I called the restaurant and told them to cancel their service so they do not lose good return customers like me.
I placed an order at 6:30pm and they called to verify my credit card 15 minutes later.
Over an hour and no food. I called them back and they said their rep had not been able to get a hold of me so they put the order on hold, I told them that was a lie as I has did verify the credit card and gave them the time off my phone this was done. They then said the problem was with their security people who had not called the restaurant to clear the order.
These jokers should not be in business!
Hi Mary, sorry for the negative experience. These are measure we take to verify your card information and make sure our customers are protected from fraudulent transactions. Can you please provide us more information so we can check it for you? Feel free to contact us at (630) 776-3590 if you have further questions. Thanks!
What happen is I have told the beyond-menu that we want the customer to come and pay at store only and they said "Okay" but what happen yesterday is the customer said they already paid with beyond-menu. So we can't close order because the customer not going to pay with us. We try to email person name "Alice" she the one taking care of our problem all the time. She didn't answer. Today we try to called beyond-menu and some guy have pick up and listen to our problem and he ask for order number from yesterday that have problem. His attitude when he talk with us was not a nice attitude at all. (Maybe because he don't understand what I'm said) While I'm try to find order number he just hang up.
Hi Pare,
Could you please provide us additional information for your store name and store main telephone numbers? We would like to check for your request on wanting all customers to pay directly at your store. Feel free to contact us at (630) 776-3590 if you have further questions. Thanks!
I don't know what everyone else is complaining about. I ordered my food through this site and everything went through immediately, and they got my order right on time. Paid for it on the site, and everything went smoothly. The reviews scared me and made me think I was making the wrong move, going through a third party.
Hi Katie,
Thank you for your positive feedback. Rest assured that we are working constantly to improve our service and give you a better ordering online experience!
They took the liberty of cancelling my order and I did not find out until I got to the restaurant. I called them and they could not provide me a reason as to why. I had to wait 30 minutes to get an order for a very hungry office of people. I do nor recommend
Hi Andrea P,
We are sorry for the inconvenience. Some orders raise a flag on our system and require us to verify payment with customers. We conduct random security checks to ensure all orders are authorized and legit. As part of our process, we call customers thrice to verify payment and cancel the order if we're unable to reach them. You may reach out to us at our CS hotline at: 630-776-3590 if you have further questions.

I've used this before without much difficulty but tonight the app never seemed to finish processing my credit card. I couldn't find any way to refresh or check wtf was going on. Finally had to call the restaurant and guess what? They did have my order and were preparing it. This does not, however, fill me with confidence in the security of my information. I will never use this app again. I found this site because I had to search for help and I must say I am in total agreement with all the negative reviews.
Hi Mandy S.,
We're sorry for the inconvenience. Your security is our top most priority. We only charge our customers once and then forward to restaurant the order. It might have been a technical glitch you experienced from our website however that didn't mean payment processing didn't finish. You may reach us at out hotline numbers for issues like this in the future at 630-776-3590 so we can further assist you.

BeyondMenu has no value or morals. I've remove them from my Google Business Listing many times... so they hacked my account to add it back on multipy times. They do that so they can ride on your existing customers thru Google Business Listings and make their fees off your existing customers without investing to bring you new customers. These freeloaders wont cancel the service as I requested many times either as it's been going on several years now. Beware of this company!
Tip for consumers:
They will call you regularly to get the code from Google they have requested to send to you so they can have access to your Google Business Listing. They will from time to time request this code from Google until they have gained access to your listing. BEWARE!
Hi Jujube T.,
Please be advised that it would be impossible for any third party service to "hijack" your google listing. For anyone to gain access on a particular google listing, a Google code is needed to gain access on it and these google code postcards are sent only to the restaurant's address. Unless your restaurant provided us that code and we entered it on Google then that's the only time we can gain access on your restaurant's Google page. An access on your listing is needed to change any information on it. Others may suggest to update the information but if you will not approve it then it will not show online. Google's algorithm can also cause automatic update on your listing. There are a lot of factors that can do this change and if you need help to understand them better or to double check them please feel free to contact our Customer Service Hotline for further assistance. Thank you!
I placed an order, no confirmation, just asumed and walked to restaurant. They tell me no order received. When I showed them the email, they said orders from beyondmenu never get through, this happens all the time. I had to place another order that took a half hour. Got home with food more than an hour after initial order. I sent the website an email explaining the situation, never even got a response (more than a week ago).
Hi Brian A.,
We're sorry for the negative experience. We offer multiple channels for restaurant owners to receive orders and encourage them to have back up ways of receiving orders. We also send (3) notification calls to them to make sure no orders are missed. We would like to check with our partner restaurants what happened that led to your inconvenience. May we ask for more information regarding the order and the restaurant information? You may also contact BeyondMenu.com Customer service at (630)776-3590 for further assistance. Thank you.

I ordered Yokohama from this website in Harrisburg and got my food in a timely manner. Only thing was when I got an email there wasn't an estimated time of arrival so I did get a little nervous. Other than that it was great!
Hi Bri, Thank you for your positive feedback. Rest assured that we are working constantly to improve our service and give you a better ordering online experience!
Called to ask why their menu site said that the billing and zip code I provided was invalid, and was given no answer over "call your bank". The representative seemed to have no desire to help or even attempt to help and figure out the issue.

This app just allowed me to order from a restaurant that is CLOSED! I've never had a food site tell me I should have known the restaurant was closed. That's why I went on line to order. I should be able to trust the app, not allowed to place an order that will never arrive then tell me I have to wait 5 days to get my money back. Horrible, will never order from anywhere that uses this app!
Hi Karen V,
We are sorry for the negative experience. We partner with restaurant owners to make sure we give customers a satisfactory experience, however when a restaurant is closed and the stores don't inform us there would be no way for us to know and update their store hours online either thus the reason why you were still able to place an order. May we ask what restaurant you tried placing the order from so we can check from our end and fix the problem? You may also contact BeyondMenu.com Customer service at (630)776-3590 for further assistance. Thank you.

Ordered Chinese food from local restaurant, paid on line. Waited almost an hour for food to arrive. Finally call the restaurant and was informed that Beyond Menu had called them and stated I had cancelled my order. What? I never cancelled my order and my credit card was charged. Restaurant was apologetic and stated they will call Beyond Menu. I better get a credit on my credit card or they'll be hearing from me.
Hi Jill,
We are sorry for the inconvenience, we are not sure what happened but we would like to find out for you. Can you provide us additional information about your order? When a transaction paid online is cancelled an automatic refund is requested an is posted to your bank in 3-5 business days. Feel free to contact us at (630) 776-3590 if you have further questions. Thanks!
I am very glad that I read the reviews first because I was very close to placing an order until I got to the checkout page and noticed that they only accept Visa and Mastercard. I then decided to look at the reviews and it was a wise choice to make. Thank you everyone that added a review about this scam site!
Hi Heather.,
We apologize if you only had (2) options to pay for an order. Normally, when we get these type of requests for restaurant owners not to receive payments using Amex or Discover card we grant it for them since this option is depending on the owner's discretion. Sorry if this left you with a negative experience. You might want to check with other restaurants on our site since some of them offer Discover and Amex. Hope this helps. You may also contact BeyondMenu.com Customer service at (630)776-3590 for further assistance. Thank you.

Everyone I pay with a credit card I get fraud on my card. You credit card information is not secured. The first time it happened on one of my cards I used at 2 different places not sure which place caused credit card breach. I used a different card and the only charge for months. A few days later credit card fraud. Do not trust Beyond Menu to keep information secured.

If there were zero. I would have given it zero. Bad service. They send my food to the wrong building number and wrong apartment number. They don't do their job right. There are a lot of website like seamless,... And others which are efficient and polite. Don't use those guys. They are $#*!n crazy.
