In a world where everything is becoming faster and faster, food ordering it turns out, needed some boost. We all know that food ordering on the go was always possible over the phone but that was never the most efficient use of time and guaranty of accuracy.
To catch-up with the modern world, times could not have been better for the restaurant industry with the availability of new technologies and their rapid adoption by the mass.
One of those new technologies are the apps for mobile phones and the myriad of possibilities that they open. Count in that category a new entrant called Snapfinger, a Web and mobile app for ordering takeouts from chain restaurants like Outback Steakhouse, Boston Market, Subway etc.
According to the New York Times, the app is free for users to download at Snapfinger.com, with the company behind the app, charging a percentage off every order to participant restaurants.
Still according to the Times, Snapfinger menu offerings come from 28, 000 restaurants in 1,600 nationwide and in Canada. While for now the service include only offerings from chain restaurants, efforts are under way to expand it to independent ones.
