Can't access restaurant list

I must not have checked the correct box, though I thought I did. Can you look into this for me? Page comes up as “Oops, private”. Thank you!

@Sasha, welcome!

You did check the correct box! But it can take a few hours for our dispatchers to validate your address and contact info You should be promoted in the next very few hours.

Hi again @Sasha!

Our dispatchers just made you a consumer. This means that the system now recognizes you as a consumer, and you can now see consumer-only areas of the website.

Here is a link for pointers on your first meal order, there are detailed instructions in it as to how to order a meal:

Welcome to HelpBerkeley.org! We are here to help you get very affordable, delivered meals while you are in self-isolation, in quarantine or sick at home. First, look at our list of restaurant partners (only accessible if you have already been promoted to consumer). With any one of them, you can order two meals (dinner + next day’s lunch) for $10 per day (plus tax), and have our site volunteers deliver these meals, every day, for free. Once you have chosen where to order from, here are the …

Note: this link is only clickable by registered consumers.

• If you order meals tomorrow before 5pm, you will receive them the next day in the evening.
• Please note, that, if you are in a condo or apartment building (essentially a building with an outside doors that is not yours), the driver will call you from her previous delivery, let you know of her arrival, and expect you downstairs: so it is very important that the phone number you list in our database (the one you registered with us) be accurate.
• important note: we use the phone number you give to the restaurant to find your address in our database, so please give the restaurants the number you gave us when you order (they will ask for name and phone number).

If anything in the process is unclear, and if you need to ask questions, please reply to this thread, or create a new topic in the subcategory /Support/Questions/.

Our restaurant partners are still learning the system. Please remind them to take your credit card information when you call, if they don’t take it automatically.

Please send us feedback so we can improve what we can. To send feedback, you can reply to this thread, or create a new topic in the subcategory /Support/Feedback/.

We hope you will enjoy your meals. Best of luck!

Wonderful! Thank you!
