Quick Summary
If a customer receives a restaurant order via delivery but doesn't pay, it's not considered a normal loss. Normal losses are typically expected and routine, like those in manufacturing due to evaporation or pilferage. In a restaurant setting, such losses are usually absorbed by the cost of goods sold. The correct accounting treatment for non-payment is to write it off as a bad debt.

Write off as Bad Debts. It is not normal loss. Normal loss is generally an expected routine loss used in manufacturing parlance. For example, loss due to evaporation/pilferage etc
Normal loss in restaurants is being absorbed by good units if it is selling pizzas.
