Its a long overdue concept. Being able to have my order ready without waiting would make me far more likely to eat out.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I've been placing orders online for years. Order, go pick it up (or even have it delivered!). Obviously the app could simplify that by having all my restaurants there in one place, but I'm not sure the "concept" is new.
- aaronblohowiak 14y agoThis is the essence of take-out. Except, on the phone instead of calling, faxing(!) or ordering online. See: chipotle
- seiji 14y agoThe original online ordering systems for pizza places would actually generate a fax to the restaurant with your order.
- prodigal_erik 14y agoAh, i remember reading about xpizza. The manpage included BUGS: Some of the staff at the pizza place don't know how to operate the fax machine.
