How the Wait List Works
The wait list shows the current quoted time and lets you join from anywhere. Arrive within a few minutes of your quoted time; the host holds your place for a short window, and the app sends a text when the table is ready. On Friday and Saturday nights at busy stores, join 30 to 45 minutes before you plan to arrive. Wait lists close 30 minutes before the restaurant does.
ToGo and Delivery Orders
The app carries the full menu, including family style pans and catering. Choose pickup, curbside or delivery, pick a time, and pay. Delivery through the app is handled by Olive Garden's delivery partner on orders that meet the minimum, and the delivery page compares it with the third party apps.
Common Problems and Fixes
- Login fails: reset the password on olivegarden.com; the app and site share one account.
- Restaurant not listed: check the store page in our locator; a few locations do not offer curbside or delivery.
- Wait list unavailable: the list closes 30 minutes before closing and on days the restaurant is at capacity.
- Gift card declined: enter the PIN from the scratch off panel; bonus cards have date limits.
