App settings allow you to update your account information, adjust notifications for order and delivery updates, and save multiple addresses.

The search bar allows you to narrow the list down to specific cuisines and food types. The number beside the restaurant name is the Skip Score. This is a 1-10 rating based on reviews, popularity, and overall customer experience. You can choose to sort the listings based on Skip Score, estimate time of arrival, and delivery fee.

The special instructions text field allows you to request changes to that item (for instance, “no tomatoes”). If you or another person has a food allergy, this is where you would mention that. Some restaurants let you make modifications to an item directly. When an item gives a “x items still required” prompt, this means you will need to specify sides or add-ons. For example, if you’re ordering a burger from a fast food restaurant, tapping that item allows you to customize your burger toppings, substitute a salad instead of fries, and choose an iced coffee instead of a soda.

Confirm whether you want the order to be delivered to your doorstep or if you will be picking it up at the restaurant yourself. Select the order time. ASAP means the order will be placed and prepared immediately according to the restaurant’s stated estimated time. You can also pre-order for delivery/pickup at a later time, Verify the delivery location. You may also include special driving instructions for the courier to follow (e. g. a buzzer code or unit number). Choose how much you’d like to tip the courier. 100% of your tip goes to the courier and SkipTheDishes never takes a cut. Optionally, add a voucher or promo code for discounts.

You can also choose to redeem your Skip Reward points (requires the most latest app update) for discounts on your order. Otherwise, the “Don’t use points” option is enabled by default.

If you have chosen to pick it up at the restaurant yourself, you’ll instead receive an update indicating the order is almost ready. When you arrive at the restaurant, let the staff know you are picking up an online order through SkipTheDishes and give your order number (on invoice) or phone number.
