FAQ

A food hall is a fast, casual place to experience a variety of cuisines all under one roof. You can choose to order food by kiosk, QR code, or with a cashier at each individual kitchen. Once you place your order, you’ll receive a pager (or a text if you order by QR code/kiosk) that will notify you when your food is ready for pickup from the kitchen where you placed your order.
