I wonder if openers could have the ability to switch on the app when they are ready to start taking orders. I’ve found out the hard way (a few times) that you can order and pay ahead and then show up to a closed store. Smoothie King won’t refund in these situations so you go on to purchase another breakfast somewhere else, double dipping your emergency breakfast fund and putting you behind schedule. Then you have to go back another time and explain the situation and find proof that you ordered them, totally putting the burden on the customer because someone didn’t show up for their shift a week ago. I gave 3 stars bc it is super convenient when it works AND when the employees unlock the door so you can come in and pick up your online order rather than waiting in the car line as if you didn’t order ahead.

I use your mobile app out of convenience to order ahead. I saw a discount that was ‘Buy 2 get the 3rd one free’ with some minor stipulations as to the size of the smoothies. The discount was to expire the next day so i wanted to order for me and 2 others. Followed all the stipulations to get the discount of the 3rd smoothie to be free and it did not come out as free. I instead got the lower discounts applied to my order instead of the better discount/deal being applied to my order. If this is how you have people use your app you should not be offering a 3rd smoothie for free deal. A value that is much greater than the other deals that were applied to my order! While on my way to the store I called the store and asked them to cancel my order just so i can re-order without any other deals applied. The employee told me it didn’t even pop on her screen yet and she already had 5 orders ahead of me and i would have to wait 15-20 minutes before she could even cancel my order. I got to the store and she said she had not had the chance to cancel the order yet so i waited inside the store. Again, the inconvenience of it all because your app does not apply the best deal first. What should have been maybe 10 minutes was more like 30 minutes because of the wait and hassle of the app.

I like Smoothie King quite a bit, but I find the app. quite complicated and unintuitive to use. Number 1) there is no “Cart” button. There have been so many times I started an order, went back to look at the selection of Smoothies, and then couldn’t figure out how to get to the Cart! Number 2) I once selected to reorder an old order from the app. I hit the submit button and nothing happened that indicated I made the order (i.e. no confirmation or e-mail). I checked the order history and didn’t see anything. I subsequently manually entered the order in the app. and subsequently received an e-mail confirmation for my manually entered order. When I showed up at the store, there were 2 orders with my name on it. Long story short, the “reorder” was from a previous web order, which picked up on the app. I tried to explain the situation to the store clerk who didn’t know what to say. I showed her my pending credit card transactions, one of which was “Smoothie King” and the other which showed “Level up Smoothie King”, both of which was done through the app.! I decided it really wasn’t her fault the app. is terrible so I just took the $40 worth of Smoothies when I only wanted $20 worth of Smoothies! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I tried doing a delivery order and was never followed up with the situation of the store in my area. Which was they where on low on staff, but my ordered was confirm. We waited almost 3 hours for door dash to take our ordered but to call and say they never had our ordered after we called again and ask what happened when the delivery driver said it was coming. (Then cancel ordered)Instructions on smoothie king app says to call the store. We have called multiple times and finally but nobody picked up. Finally we decided to drive to the stores location but to realize they had a sign that they are open but we have to “order online due to low staff”. We are stuck in the situation of not being able to communicate with the store. In person and through phone. Because the front store was lock. We emailed our situation through smoothie king website. They have followed with our situation and have ask for our confirmation ordered but they have not given our refund back. I use to work in food and beverage, including smoothie king. Taking online orders can should have a cancellation button but they just take your money and left you on read for weeks
