At ChotPot, our mission is to ensure that every meal reaches you hot, fresh, and on time. This Shipping & Delivery Policy outlines the standards, timelines, and procedures followed by ChotPot to provide a seamless food delivery experience to our users.


1. General Delivery Commitment

ChotPot is dedicated to ensuring timely and efficient delivery of all food orders placed through our platform. While we strive for consistency and accuracy, delivery timelines may occasionally vary due to operational conditions. Our goal is to maintain a dependable and transparent process at every step of your order journey.


2. Estimated Delivery Timeframe

Order Confirmation to Delivery: 40–60 Minutes

Once your order is successfully confirmed, the estimated delivery window typically ranges between 40 to 60 minutes. This includes both food preparation and delivery transit time.

Food Preparation Time: 10–20 Minutes

The time required to prepare your order may vary depending on:

  • The selected restaurant’s workload

  • Complexity and quantity of items ordered

  • Availability of ingredients

Most orders are prepared within 10 to 20 minutes.

Delivery Transit Time: 20–40 Minutes

After preparation, our delivery partners make every effort to deliver your food within 20 to 40 minutes, depending on:

  • Customer location and distance

  • Traffic conditions

  • Real-time weather situations

  • Road accessibility


3. Factors Affecting Delivery Timelines

While we aim to adhere strictly to our delivery estimates, please note that delays may occur due to factors beyond our direct control, including but not limited to:

  • Heavy traffic or roadblocks

  • Adverse weather conditions

  • High order volume or peak restaurant hours

  • Technical issues or operational constraints

ChotPot shall not be held liable for unavoidable delays caused by such external circumstances, though we remain committed to minimizing inconvenience.
