• You can change branch later from the header on any page (except Home).
• Heads-up: When you switch location, the system will ask to confirm—changing branch empties your cart (to avoid cross-branch items).
• Go to Menu to explore dishes (or start with featured items on the Home page).

Human tip: Picking the right branch means faster dispatch and accurate fees—less hassle, more sulit.

COD vs Online Payment — Which One Is Best?

To help you decide between COD and online transfer for your So Mot order, here’s a quick comparison:

COD (Cash on Delivery)

• Pay the rider in cash upon delivery
• Shipping fee may be higher (+₱50 or more, depending on rider availability)
• Finding riders with cash handling can take longer, especially for orders ₱2,000+
• Sometimes slower delivery when cash coordination is needed

Online Payment (GCash, BDO)

• Pay ahead via bank transfer or GCash
  
• Shipping fee is usually lower and stable
  
• Faster & smoother delivery (no cash needed with the rider)
  
• Confirm payment by sending the transfer slip (upload or via email)
  

Recommendation: If you want faster delivery with less hassle, choose online payment. Prefer paying cash? COD is available too.
