We have ordered delivery from Jasons Deli, ***********, ** (Jasons Deli is listed as a restaurant open for delivery when we place our order) several times in the past with no problem but in the last two months every time we order delivery our order gets canceled. Its not the delivery service we use because we order from a lot of different restaurants, in the same area of ***********, with no problem. Im upset because theyre open for delivery and for some reason our orders are getting canceled. I would like to know why. I have contacted Jasons Deli and talked to an employee and she said she doesnt know whats wrong and also said Jasons Deli cant reject an order. However, they cancel our order every time. I would like an explanation.Business Response

The feedback regarding delivery has been forwarded to the management team of the *********** location to respond directly to the customer.

I am rejecting this response because: The complaint has only been forwarded to management for their response, therefore it is not resolved until management responds to my complaint.

The management team responded that our IT Help Desk has been involved. It appears to be a problem with the DoorDash connectivity with our online system. There is no problem with regular online orders and these can not be cancelled. The IT Projects team is working with Door Dash on a solution to the issue and hoping to find one soon. Customers can always order directly through our online order website at jasonsdeli.com.

I am rejecting this response because:
I am ordering online and the only way to get delivery from Jasons Deli is through door dash.
We use door dash every night for delivery and Jasons Deli is the only restaurant that shows up as canceled. We also order from many restaurants that are located in the same area where Jasons deli is located.
When the problem is solved between Jasons Deli and door dash I will consider the issue solved but just responding that there is a problem is no resolution.
Sincerely,

This happened Monday 8/7/23 at approximately 6:15pm I was at Jason's Deli in *******. I ordered a plain **** potato and a drink. I asked that they put it on a large salad plate because I like to chop it up and mix it up and it's hard to do on the small plate they usually put it on without getting it everywhere. I sit down and hear the manager say, "I ain't giving him no big plate," The manager brings it out and it's on the small plate. So I again say I asked for it on a large plate. The manager said I'm not giving you a large plate you got the tray use that. I'm not mixing my food up on a tray that I don't know if it's been washed. So I ask for a refund. He gets ****** and refuses to refund the full amount of the meal. I won't be back to your restaurant ever again. I'll be reporting the charge as fraudulent. I'm also sharing with everyone I know. You lost a long time customer because a manager wanted to be unprofessional over a plate.Business Response

The manager of the *************** located in **********, ***** called me a thief. He insulted and humiliated me in front of the other customers. His disturbing behavior and disparaging language was uncalled for. The worst thing is he knew that I am one of the store regular customer. I used to eat there at least 3 times a week but all this will change on 08/05/23 because i respect myself too much to be insulted by a so called manager. I paid $10.09 for a caprese panini. How can he call me a thief when you have to pay for the food first and someone has to bring it to you? I want ***** deli to know that I am not a thief and that I have never stole anything in my life. I was so shocked that I lost my appetite, I was shaking and disgusted by the way he treated me. This is no way to treat anyone.Business Response

We are sorry to hear of the experience at the ********** location. That location is a franchise deli owned by a different company. We have forwarded the complaint to the Management Team and Owners to address. The feedback is appreciated!Customer Answer

I hope that the manager will treat people with respect and get retrained on proper customer service skills. I understand it could be a stressful job but as someone who is serving as the face of a company, there should be a set protocol in place on how to solve problems.Initial Complaint

My mom, my friend, and I went to ***** deli around 3:00pm on June 1, 2023. We went and got the salad bar. We got our food and sat down to eat. After I was finished with my first plate, I asked an employee if I need to bring my plate up to the front to get a new plate for the salad bar. She then told me that the salad bar was only one trip. I was confused. There was no signs stating that the salad was not all you can eat anymore. The employee did give ** a new plate for misunderstanding but when my mom asked how long the salad bar was only one trip now and the employee said that it has been for 6 months. I remember going to ***** deli in ******* in January of 2023. It wasn't 6 months. There was nothing online about it not being an all you can eat salad bar. There have been many complaints of this situation in many different locations. What is going on Jason's deli?Business Response
Date: 06/02/2023
Our one trip Salad Bar has been in place since Covid or around early of 2020. Customers can pile as much on their plate as desired, and if needed an additional plate may be given to the customer upon request.Initial Complaint

On May 7th I placed an order online for 3 sandwiches, a broccoli soup and 3 strawberry shortcakes. My order was processed and when I got to the restaurant to pick up my order, the manager ****** told me that he was sorry but they didn't have the strawberry shortcakes to which I replied that the only reason for my purchase in this store was mainly because of those shortcakes and I was shocked that they didn't call me immediately upon receiving my online order that they didn't have those cupcakes. The manager ****** offered me other types of desserts which I answered no and the ****** told me that then at the end of the day he would give me the credit to my bank card. I waited for the transaction to be processed at my bank and released and today, Tuesday, May 9, I realize that the transaction was never modified with the credit. I had to drive 20 minutes to the store and be able to speak with the manager of that shift and explain what happened on Sunday the 7th, the manager **** first of all did not apologize for the bad communication from the other manager (******) and immediately credited me with the three cupcakes to my back account. I explained my disappointment with what happened and that I had offered a tip for the bad service they offered me, which she did not want to reimburse me. In the end, she only reimbursed me for the shortcakes. And when I found out that they had more in the store, I asked her if I could get the 3 shortcakes, thinking that she would make up for the time lost, my gasoline and the tip that I gave them for not notifying me of the lack of desserts. I ended up paying for the 3 cupcakes and left the store very disappointed. I will think twice before buying from this restaurant again.Customer Answer

I was hoping either a gift card with the amount of the three strawberries shortcakes plus the tip The tip I gave them for the bad service I received, or at least she shouldnt have charge me for the shortcakes.

I visited the Jason's Deli located at ******************************************** about 30 minutes ago for their weekly kids eat free night. Our Transaction numbers were 60 (70094) and 28 (20009). They brought 3 of 4 entrees. We waited another 20 minutes or so and we noticed newly seated patrons receiving their orders. I went to the counter and inquired on the status of the order. The employee stated that they had already served everything within our order; which was not accurate. The employees and manager gathered in a huddle and concluded that they hadn't provided us with our order. At the onset of placing my order I advised that I would return and collect my salad containers and related items once we concluded our meal. I waited in line and advised the employee that I needed my salad containers and additional items and he stated that I needed to provide a receipt because we already received one. I explained to the him that we had two separate orders as the kids eat free promotion requires the purchase an entree. He insisted that he would not be allowed to provide it to me. I acknowledged that I didn't have the receipt and he saw me at the register completing our sale. For starters, my veracity should not be questioned if you witness first hand our party completing multiple transactions. I do not need to steal a $5 to go side salad. If there were questions, he could've solicited the cashier that collected my payment or researched our orders. We do not steal or try to take things that don't belong to us. I'm very upset at the way we were treated tonight. I'm disgusted that they would even insinuate such, especially in front of a line full of patrons. I spend too much money with Jason's Deli to be treated in that manner.Business Response

This is a message I sent just recently. I never seem to hear back from anyone.Ever since Jasons Deli moved to their new location in **********, *****, the experience has not been a great one. I order the same sandwich each and every time, the Mufaletta. I always order it with the salami, and always replace the ham with pastrami. Since they moved, they now charge me from $6.69 to $7.99 for the pastrami. Seriously?? For $3 more I can order another sandwich and move the meat over myself, which Id get more meat than what Im getting now. And, they literally place 1-1/2 slices of salami on each quarter sandwich, with a skimpy amount of pastrami. I usually order the half sandwich. Below is how my sandwich looked, again!Theres no talking to the manager as she is rude as can be. Im not able to get anyone to return my calls or messages. This is a real concern and would love to be given an explanation as to why some of your sandwiches have gone down hill, and charging more. This terrible sandwich cost me $17.08! Seriously?!Business Response

I came in to buy a small to go salad as i have done numerous times this week,and also at numerous locations. The girl proceeds to tell me i have to by an entree. I have been buying the same small side salad for years in Texas and Louisiana for about $6.50 plus tax and today she says they don’t have a button for it and i can only buy large. I asked since when because I’ve been here twice in the past week alone with no problems. She offers no explanation i said ok I’ll take a large but I’m calling corporate cause I know that it’s true she shrugs like oh well, i told her never mind and took my card out. Oh yea she asked a guy and he agreed so either they both need new training or all your other locations and other employees at this location as well have made me a happy returning customer and got it wrong. Which one is it? And she was uncaring and rude.Business Response

We are sorry for your experience at one of our Baton Rouge delis. A garden fresh salad bar where you can choose from dozens of fresh, wholesome ingredients can be customized how you want it for $9.39. A side salad can be purchased for an additional charge of $2.09 with any entree when selecting a manager's special and to substitute for the chips and other side choice. This is what is on most of our menus company-wide. When our point of sale registers were updated to reflect our October menu changes, the button that the deli previously used to charge the $6.50 and was probably for an item that was removed. We feel that $9.39 for a huge salad that is usually more than one meal and very reasonable priced for all the fresh ingredients.
