Ordered through DoorDash via chili's website. The order kept pending waiting for a driver and so I called. Chili employees didn't know what was going on and apparently other customers order was also not being picked up and delivered. Then the girl who picked up the phone advise me to call door dash. First off, you're partner with door dash and if a customer ordered through ur webpage (Chili's) u should make the effort to call doordash yourself- I also told the girl who answered the phone that, then the girl proceeded to tell me they don't have ways to contact doordash and they're just a 3rd party (complete bullshit cause I work in the restaurant industry and we also use doordash and we have ways of getting in contact with them). So I hang up cause I knew from that moment she wasn't going to try to help or even cared to help. But I tried to call doordash, and to no avail- I mean I didn't order through doordash directly so they didn't even have my order on file on the doordash app and when I tried calling the customer line it said the number wasn't working at the time. So it's been about 1 hr and 20 min, I called back and canceled my order with chili- and again, they had the audacity to tell me to cancel with doordash. First off I got the confirmation for my order and it clearly gave me a number (which was chili's number) where I can change my order or cancel my order-which I explain to the manager and she said "oh, door dash said that? I said no, the email y'all sent with my confirmation has this number listed and it also states to change or cancel order to call this number, then the manager told me she'll contact doordash and make sure my money will get refunded, (totally contradict what the first person told me-which was, they can't and don't have ways to contact doordash) which I knew was bull. Fast forward to 30 min later after canceling the food, doordash notify me they're on their way, so I called the number provided to me to contact the driver and I told her I canceled the order, she told me when she picked up the food at chilis no one told her it was canceled and doordash didn't alert her either-I told her to not bring the food to my house. So I called chili back and the girl picked up again-I told her how doordash was on their way and I didn't want it and why didn't they tell them the order was canceled. The girl now tells me the food is left on the table and doordash just grabbed it without their knowledge (this girls has been lying from the start and completely doesn't take any measures to calm the situation, all she did was escalate it-this is not the manager by the way) but the girl also told me that the order was canceled but it was left on the table so the manager can throw it away later. *i work in the restaurant industry too, so I know how it all works and I didn't want to upset myself further because I was already pissed off I had to call chili's to ask for my order and then they practically tell me I'm on my own and go figure it out with doordash who they're in partnership with, so to me, sounds like you're both at fault since you're partnership with them or as the manger puts it they are a "third party" * So the managers gets back on the phone and she told me not to worry she'll still have my money refunded and that regardless if door dash drops off the food or not she'll refund the money. So that pissed me off enough to leave this review. I'm not about getting "free" stuff. I paid for my food and I expect it to be delivered in a timely matter. I get shit happens, it's okay if it does-communicate with ur customers. Instead of blaming the third party, who your company obviously partner with, how about u come up with a solutions to resolve the matter instead of telling me to go call doordash and I kept telling them I didn't make the order through doordash app but it was placed through the chili's website. All in all it ruined my night because the manager should've been more empathetic and for her to think that giving me a food that's been sitting at their facility for 1 and a half hour and by the time it gets to me, it would've been 2 hours is unacceptable. The employee didn't care to make anything right aside from blaming doordash and then pretty much telling me to go figure it out with doordash was a slap to the face. Chili's needs to either get rid of doordash since they can't control or "contact" them when stuff like this happens to their customers who has a million other choice to go eat elsewhere but comes back to chili's time and time again because of loyalty. But getting treated like this tonight shows that you guys are not worthy of my loyalty to chili's anymore. read more
