FAQ

Questions, answered

How long can a Flash Sale run?

From 15 minutes to 24 hours. Most drops run 45–90 minutes during a specific slow window.

What happens to the credit if nobody claims?

Credits are consumed on publish, not on claim. It's our goal to fill 60–90% of claim cap even on slow nights.

Can I cancel a running Flash Sale?

Yes. Cancel at any time from the dashboard; any foodies who already claimed get a notification. Credit is still consumed.

Can staff publish, or only owners?

Your choice. Role-gated: owners can always publish, managers can be granted permission.
