Help with Kitchen Closed.

On iPhone, Kitchen Closed locks apps through Screen Time. If Home says “Screen Time is off”, tap Turn on Screen Time and allow it.

On Android, the lock is an accessibility service. If Home says “The lock is off”, tap Turn on the lock, then turn on Use Kitchen Closed. If the switch is greyed out, open App info for Kitchen Closed, tap ⋮ and choose Allow restricted settings. On Xiaomi phones, also allow “Display pop-up windows while running in the background” under Other permissions.

Then check that Hours › Delivery apps lists every app you order from.

Open Hours › Delivery apps. On iPhone, the apps come from Apple’s own list: open Shopping & Food and tick each app you use. Don’t tick the whole category, because it includes Amazon. On Android, search the full list below the delivery apps.

Open Kitchen Closed and tap Use a key on Home instead. On iPhone, Use a key on the closed screen works by sending a notification, so allow notifications for Kitchen Closed in Settings.

While your apps are locked, you can only make your hours stricter, apps can’t come off the list, and strict mode can’t be switched off. Otherwise a change of plan would unlock them early. All of it can change again once your apps unlock.

Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play, so refunds do too. On iPhone, ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android, follow Google Play’s refund steps.

Delete the app. Everything Kitchen Closed stores is on your phone, so it goes with the app, and there’s no account to close. The privacy policy covers the usage stats the app sends.
