You can still pay cash on Just Eat in many cases, but it depends on the restaurant, your location, and the type of order.

Can you pay cash on Just Eat?

  • Yes, Just Eat still supports cash for some orders, but it is not guaranteed for every restaurant or every area.
  • Whether you see “Pay with cash” at checkout depends on if that specific restaurant has cash orders turned on in its Just Eat settings.
  • Some partners are moving more toward card and online payments only, so you may notice fewer cash options than a few years ago.

How to check if cash is available

  • Add your food to the basket, go to the final checkout page, and look at the list of payment methods (card, PayPal, etc.).
  • If that restaurant accepts cash, you’ll see a clear “Cash” or “Pay with cash on delivery/collection” option you can select before placing the order.
  • If you don’t see any cash option, it usually means that restaurant or your type of order is card-only and you cannot force cash for that order.

Why the cash option might not show

  • The restaurant may have switched off cash orders in its Just Eat partner settings (for example, to avoid no-shows or for security reasons).
  • Some regions or specific times (late night, busy periods) are more restrictive and prefer prepaid orders for drivers’ safety and efficiency.
  • Occasionally, app or account issues (out‑of‑date app or a new account) can make it seem limited, but updating the app rarely creates cash where the restaurant has disabled it.

Tips if you really want to pay cash

  • Try a different restaurant nearby on Just Eat; some will still clearly allow “cash on delivery” even if others are card‑only.
  • If you have the choice between delivery and collection, check both; sometimes cash is allowed for collection even when delivery is card‑only.
  • If no places around you show a cash option, your local Just Eat market may be leaning strongly toward online payment, so you may need to use card/PayPal or order directly from the restaurant instead.
