As a culinarian on Keeor Food, reliability is key to building trust with foodies and keeping your business thriving. While unexpected situations may arise, frequent cancellations can hurt your reputation, frustrate customers, and lead to penalties. Here’s how to manage cancellations the right way—and how to avoid them in the first place.
1. Plan Your Availability Wisely
The best way to avoid cancellations is to set realistic availability for orders.
✅ How to do it:
- Keep your Order Notice Time accurate so foodies know how much time you need to prepare their meal.
- Update your availability if you won’t be able to cook on certain days.
- Limit the number of orders you accept per day to match what you can handle.
💡 Example: If you know you can only take 5 orders per day, don’t leave your menu open for unlimited requests.
2. Only Accept Orders You Can Fulfill
Before confirming an order, make sure you have the necessary ingredients, time, and resources to prepare it.
✅ Best practices:
- Check your kitchen supplies regularly to avoid last-minute shortages.
- If an ingredient runs out, update your menu or offer a close substitute.
- Consider prep time before accepting large or last-minute orders.
🚨 Avoid this mistake: Accepting a big catering order at the last minute and realizing you don’t have enough ingredients—this leads to unnecessary cancellations.
3. Communicate Early if an Issue Arises
If something unexpected happens and you truly can’t fulfill an order, notify the foodie as soon as possible.
✅ How to do it professionally:
- Send a polite message explaining the issue.
- Offer an alternative if possible (e.g., a different dish or rescheduling).
- Apologize and express your commitment to great service.
💡 Example Message:
"Hi [Foodie’s Name], I’m really sorry, but I won’t be able to fulfill your order today due to an unexpected issue. Would you like to reschedule for tomorrow or choose another dish? Let me know what works best!"
4. Understand the Cancellation Penalty
Keeor Food applies cancellation penalties to ensure a reliable experience for foodies. The penalty amount will depend on factors like the order size, timing of cancellation, and impact on the foodie.
🚨 Larger or last-minute cancellations may result in higher penalties.
💡 Tip: To avoid penalties, communicate early if you can’t fulfill an order and keep your availability up to date.
5. Offer Exceptional Service to Avoid Disputes
When foodies trust your reliability, they’ll keep coming back and leave great reviews.
✅ Build a strong reputation by:
- Delivering orders on time.
- Keeping cancellations to an absolute minimum.
- Being transparent about your availability.
💡 Example: If a foodie has a great experience with you, they’re more likely to be patient and understanding if an issue ever arises in the future.

Cancellations can hurt both your earnings and reputation. By managing your availability, planning ahead, and communicating professionally, you can keep cancellations low and foodies happy. Remember: A reliable culinarian gets repeat customers, better reviews, and more success on Keeor Food!
