Trying to cancel Red Rooster? Avoid the runaround.
Can you cancel your Red Rooster subscription? Check eligibility and conditions
Red Rooster provides clear guidelines around cancelling orders:
- Pickup Orders (Click & Collect):
Eligible for cancellation if you haven't selected "Start Cooking" yet - your food must not be in preparation. - Delivery and ASAP Orders:
Cancel immediately after ordering, before the restaurant accepts and begins preparation. Once the order is accepted or cooking has started, cancellations aren’t possible. - Third-party Orders (Uber Eats, Menulog, etc.):
Cancellation policies depend on these platforms; Red Rooster cannot directly cancel these orders. You must contact the third-party app directly.
How to cancel a Red Rooster subscription, service or order
Cancelling your Red Rooster order is simple. Follow these steps:
- App or Website Pickup Orders:
- Log into the Red Rooster app or website.
- Navigate to your current order.
- Select "Cancel" if you haven't initiated cooking yet.
- Confirm cancellation.
- Receive a cancellation confirmation email or notification.
- Log into the Red Rooster app or website.
- Immediate Delivery or ASAP Pickup Orders:
Immediately call the restaurant handling your order (check your confirmation email or find the store contact details on the Store Locator). Clearly request cancellation and provide your order details. - Third-party Delivery App Orders:
Use the app’s own cancellation process or contact customer support (Uber Eats, Menulog, DoorDash).
Always confirm cancellations by email, app notification, or directly with the store to ensure your refund.
How long does a Red Rooster cancellation take?
Timing is crucial for cancellations at Red Rooster:
- Pickup Orders:
Cancel anytime before pressing "Start Cooking" - ideally at least a few minutes before arrival. - Immediate Delivery Orders:
Act within minutes of placing your order before the store accepts and starts cooking. - Third-party Apps:
Typically, cancellations are only allowed within minutes after ordering before acceptance by the restaurant. - Final Deadline:
Once your food preparation begins, cancellations become impossible, and refunds won’t be provided.
In short, act quickly - there is no significant grace period once the order is being prepared.
Red Rooster cancellation fees and final charges – what to expect
Red Rooster’s cancellation fee policy is straightforward:
- No Explicit Cancellation Fees:
You pay nothing extra if you cancel your order promptly before preparation begins. - Late Cancellations (After Food Preparation Starts):
You'll forfeit the full payment as the food can't be resold. This effectively serves as the only "fee" related to late cancellations. - Promo Codes & Loyalty Points:
Promo codes used are typically lost if you cancel. Loyalty points or Red Royalty dollars spent are usually returned to your account if an order is cancelled properly.
Overall, cancelling within guidelines ensures no unexpected fees or penalties.

Red Rooster Cancellation FAQs
Can I cancel my Red Rooster order after I’ve placed it?
Yes, you can cancel if your food hasn’t started cooking yet. For pickup, cancel before pressing “Start Cooking,” and for delivery, act before the store accepts the order. Once cooking begins, cancellations and refunds are no longer possible, so acting quickly is essential to avoid being charged.
How do I cancel a Red Rooster order placed through Uber Eats or Menulog?
You must cancel directly through the delivery app. Red Rooster cannot cancel third-party orders. Each platform has its own rules, so follow their app process immediately after ordering to maximize your chance of a refund.
Will I be charged a fee if I cancel my Red Rooster order?
You won’t pay a cancellation fee if you cancel before food preparation starts. If the restaurant has already begun cooking, you’ll lose your full payment since the meal can’t be resold. Acting quickly is the only way to avoid unnecessary charges.
How long does it take to get a refund from a cancelled Red Rooster order?
Refund timing depends on how you cancel. App cancellations usually process quickly, while phone or third-party app cancellations can take longer. Always request confirmation by email or notification to ensure your refund is processed without delay.
