About Tori-Yoshi Japanese Fried Chicken
We are a virtual restaurant concept. What does that mean? It means that we are not a restaurant or a food preparation or delivery company. Instead, we curate our menu and then license that menu to certain online food delivery service providers (which could be managed or owned by a third-party, us, or one of our Related Parties) (“Delivery Platforms”) who will be responsible for accepting and processing orders, whether themselves or through one or more delivery partners, fulfillment centers, or other relationships. We encourage you to reach out to the Delivery Platform on which you found our menu for all concerns and inquiries, including understanding the scope of each Delivery Platform’s obligations to you. We are not required to comply with any applicable laws relating to the offering, sale, delivery or preparation of food, alcoholic beverages, or any related items. We also have no responsibility for ensuring that the Delivery Platforms or any other vendors, fulfillment centers, or other businesses involved in processing your order do the same. We do not guarantee the quality or safety of the food you receive.
