Firstly kudos to the owners for trying something new and for hopefully bringing better asian inspired food to OC. Sadly my interaction with Happy Eatery didn't end up all that happy nor did I get lunch. After walking 20min to pick-up a uber eats order I arrived to find it had been cancelled. While the staff was very nice, they were not adequately trained to use the platform despite the restaurant touting all the major apps on its menus and signage. With a stroller and hot child along for the walk pickup lunch I observed a mother and kids having a similar experience in attempting to sit and eat. Place is nice and clean but no sight of food, and the staff needs to be trained on the CRM systems established by the owners. We may try again in a month or so. But right now Happy Eatery needs a strategy meeting as a double unit like that is going to be tough to operate in the green based on this interaction. Feel free to reach out when you are ready for us to try again....
