How to submit a complaint with Oporto
Oporto complaints in Australia are handled digitally through parent company Craveable Brands, with most issues resolved via online feedback forms, head-office email, or directly at the store. Gather your receipt, order number, store location, and date/time before you start — it speeds up every channel.
Online feedback forms (fastest option)
- Order-specific issues: Use the Oporto order feedback form for missing items, food quality, or Oporto refund requests.
- General feedback: Submit suggestions or non-transactional concerns via the Oporto feedback form for general matters.
- Feedback portal: Lodge broader comments through the direct feedback portal.

Email the head office

- Corporate reception: For senior escalations, email reception@craveablebrands.com.
- Reference line: Quote your store, date, and receipt number in the subject line for faster routing.
Phone Oporto's head office
- Craveable Brands switchboard: Call (02) 8905 8400 during business hours for urgent matters or Flame Rewards issues that forms haven't resolved.
- Tip: Phone complaints should still be followed up in writing so there's a paper trail.
Social media
- Facebook: Message Oporto on Facebook — conversations are often moved to DM for privacy.
- Instagram: DM @oportoaustralia.
- Twitter/X: Tag @oportoaustralia publicly to flag urgent issues.
Speak with the store directly
- Duty manager: For cold food, wrong orders, or poor service, ask the on-duty manager at the restaurant where the issue occurred.
- On-the-spot fixes: Most in-store issues can be resolved immediately with a replacement meal or refund.
Delivery orders (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Menulog)
- Refund via platform: Oporto confirms delivery complaints must go through the delivery partner's in-app "Help" section.
- Evidence: Photograph the bag and contents before touching the food.
Head office address: Level 5, 619 Pacific Hwy, St Leonards, NSW 2065.
Oporto customer service complaints are triaged by Craveable Brands' customer care team, who coordinate with the specific franchisee involved before replying. Here's what to expect:
- Acknowledgement: An automatic confirmation or case reference is sent once your form or email is lodged — keep it for follow-ups.
- Review: A care representative checks store records and liaises with the franchisee or duty manager.
- Response time: Expect a written reply within 5–10 business days. Complex franchisee disputes can take longer.
- Remedy options: Common outcomes include a refund (7–10 business days to the original payment method), a replacement voucher, Flame Rewards credit, or a written explanation.
- Click & Collect refunds: Orders cancelled before preparation are refunded within 7–10 business days.
- Follow-up: If unhappy with the outcome, reply on the same email thread with "escalation requested" to push the matter higher.

How other consumers Oporto complaints got resolved
Flame Rewards Account Wiped After Nine Years
A long-term customer's 9-year-old Flame Rewards account was accidentally deleted, and two web-form submissions went unanswered. A follow-up email to feedback.system@craveablebrands.com with membership proof restored the account and points history.
Tip: Keep screenshots of your rewards balance and at least one recent receipt tied to the account.
Missing Chicken Meal from Uber Eats Order
A Sydney customer received their burgers but not the chicken meal they'd paid for through Uber Eats. Oporto directed them to the delivery platform, and Uber Eats approved the refund through in-app "Help" within 48 hours.
Tip: Photograph the sealed delivery bag and contents before eating to speed up platform refunds.
Cold Burgers and Stale Chips Resolved with Voucher

Oporto Complaints FAQs
What is the fastest way to get a refund from Oporto for a wrong or missing item?
The fastest way to get an Oporto refund is to submit the order-specific feedback form at oporto.com.au/contact-us-transaction with your receipt, order number, and photos attached. Lodge within 24–48 hours and state your desired outcome clearly — refund, replacement, or Flame Rewards credit. For Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Menulog orders, use the delivery platform's in-app "Help" section instead, as Oporto redirects these there.
Why is my Oporto complaint going unanswered, and what should I do next?
Oporto complaints can stall because Craveable Brands' care team coordinates with individual franchisees before replying, and only around 5% of surveyed customers report first-time resolution. If you haven't heard back in 5–10 business days, reply on the same email thread with "escalation requested", or email reception@craveablebrands.com directly. Attach your original case reference and any new evidence to push the matter to a senior case manager.
How do I recover lost Oporto Flame Rewards points or a deleted account?
To recover Oporto Flame Rewards points or a deleted account, email feedback.system@craveablebrands.com with proof of membership, recent receipts, and screenshots of your previous balance. Real cases show long-standing accounts and points histories have been restored this way when web forms went unanswered. Keep ongoing screenshots of your balance and tie at least one recent receipt to the account to protect your points going forward.
Can I take an unresolved Oporto complaint to an ombudsman or regulator?
Oporto isn't covered by a dedicated industry ombudsman, but under Australian Consumer Law you can escalate unresolved complaints to a regulator after 10 business days. Contact NSW Fair Trading (13 32 20) as Craveable Brands is NSW-based, your state's consumer protection agency, or the ACCC on 1300 302 502 for misleading conduct. For unsafe food, notify your local council's environmental health team or the NSW Food Authority.
