The best restaurants serving American food in Felling Gateshead North East

I did not receive my food despite placing an order on the app. I ordered the food at 7pm for drive thru collection. The store had apparently had a power cut previously and was unable to process orders. They told me to wait in the car park for 5 minutes. 5 minutes later I drove back through the drive thru and was told due to ordering on the app it would be another 10 minutes. I gave the order number to the person at the drive and they said they would bring my food to me in the car park. I then waited around 30 minutes, during this time, multiple employees stood around inside watching my car and pointing. After a while, a man who claimed to be the manager- Ryan came out to tell me to check in to the store. I had already done this before arriving at the drive thru the first time. He said that the order had not gone through and to change it to take away. I did this and checked in again showing him that it had gone through. He then went back into the kitchen and checked. He came back saying it was not going through their side and he would be unable to give me the food despite me showing him the order on my phone showing that I had checked in and my bank showing I had paid. He then told me that I would have to place the order again, wait for the first charge to go into pending and then contact him so he could contact the finance department to get me a refund. When questioned, he said this was a common practice and that he couldn’t do anything else before walking away. After waiting that long, I was disgusted by the customer service provided and decided to leave and go to a different fast food restaurant. How can the company allow this to be a common practice? And if it is not common practice, why would a manager claim it would be? This entire experience has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth about returning to your establishment as I don’t wish to be ridiculed further. I thought ordering on the app would mean it would be a fast transaction and I could get on with my evening, instead, I spent over 45 minutes waiting in the car park for food I still haven’t received
