By using foodnevercomes.com (“the site”), you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. FoodNeverComes is a free, for-fun project — please read on so we’re all on the same page.
FoodNeverComes is a novelty “dopamine site” and a fake food-delivery simulator for entertainment only. The menus, prices, carts, “checkout”, riders and delivery tracking are all simulated. No real food is ever ordered or delivered, and no real payment is ever processed. The checkout uses an obviously fake demo card — never enter real card details; there is nothing to pay and nothing to buy.
Because nothing is sold and no money changes hands on the site, there are no purchases, refunds, deliveries or order obligations of any kind. Any prices shown are imaginary. The one exception is dish sponsorship — a paid service for businesses and creators, covered in section 10. Ordinary visitors are never charged for anything.
We provide free recipes and cooking information for fun and general guidance. Follow safe food-handling, cooking and allergy practices, and use your own judgement — we can’t guarantee results and aren’t liable for how recipes turn out. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, always check ingredients yourself.
Some outbound links (for example meal-kit offers via the Awin network) are affiliate links. If you click through and purchase from a partner, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only feature partners we think fit the site, but we don’t control their products, offers, pricing or websites, and aren’t responsible for them.
The FoodNeverComes name, design, text and original content are ours and may not be copied or reproduced without permission. Dish photographs are used from sources such as Wikimedia Commons and Pexels under their respective licences and belong to their creators — see our photo credits page for the photographer and licence of every image on the site.
Please don’t misuse the site — including attempting to hack, overload, scrape at scale, or use it for anything unlawful, or in a way that disrupts other people’s use of it.
The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. We don’t promise it will always be available, error-free, or uninterrupted.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FoodNeverComes is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, the recipes, or any third-party or affiliate links.
The site links to third-party sites and services (e.g. Google, affiliate partners, RewireHeaven, Instagram). We aren’t responsible for their content, policies or practices — their terms and privacy policies apply when you visit them.
Businesses and creators can pay to have a dish added to the menu. This is the only paid product on the site, it is entirely separate from the free simulator, and it never changes what ordinary visitors pay — which is nothing.
What you get. We add your dish to the menu with a photo, a description, a price in the kitchen’s local currency and its own free recipe page. It carries a visible “Sponsored” label and a link back to you for the length of your term. When the term ends the label and the link come off and the dish stays on the menu. Every sponsor link is marked rel="sponsored nofollow" — we do not sell links that pass search ranking signals, for any price.
What we need from you. The dish name, the cuisine, a working recipe, one photograph you own or have licensed, and the link the label should point at. You confirm you hold the rights to everything you send us and that we may publish it. We edit submissions into the site’s format; you approve the result before it goes live.
What we will not publish. Alcohol, tobacco, gambling, adult content, cryptocurrency, supplements making health claims, anything unlawful, anything infringing someone else’s rights, and anything that is not a real, cookable dish. These restrictions are published here and on our sponsorship page before you pay — please check them first.
No refunds. Substitution instead. Sponsorship fees are non-refundable. That includes changing your mind, cancelling, dissatisfaction with results, and any point after a dish is published. If we decline a submission, you are not left with nothing: we will ask you to choose an alternative dish from those available, and we will publish that one instead, at no extra cost and for the same term. You may substitute until we publish something you are happy with. We do not return the fee.
Recurring sponsorships. Monthly plans renew until you cancel. Cancelling stops future charges; it does not refund charges already taken, and dishes already published stay on the menu. Unused dish allocations do not roll over into the next month.
No guarantee of results. We do not promise traffic, clicks, impressions, search rankings, sales or any other outcome. Any figures we quote describe past site-wide activity and are not a forecast. We may change the site’s design, remove or reorganise sections, or close the site entirely.
Removal. We may remove a sponsored dish at any time if it turns out to breach these terms, if a rights complaint is made about it, or if it is required by law or by a platform we depend on. We will tell you why, and a substitution will be offered where the fault is not yours.
Payment. Sponsorships are taken through Buy Me a Coffee, whose own terms apply to the payment itself. Kitchen sponsorships are invoiced separately. Where these terms and a product description disagree, the description shown to you at checkout governs that purchase.
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
