Does your restaurant have an iPhone App?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Eli Chait Sep 30, 2010. 16 Replies 0 Likes
I'm asking this because I think it could have real potential to increase business...It doesn't take much to get in the App Store and then you've got something of value you can offer your…Continue

I'm a little late to this conversation, but there are a few companies out there that build iPhone apps with integrated online ordering (Micros Partner: http://www.exit41.com/Restaurant_Online_Call_Center_Mobile_Ordering.html). But...something…

Good point. Since I am only talking about a standard iPhone icon, I suppose the only ill feeling one might get is that it is taking up space on your screen. In which case you can shuffle it off to another screen, and since the release of iOS 4 you…

Whether it's annoying or not will depend on the size of the icon and frequency that it is displayed. If had to see that every day, multiple times a day, I personaly would be annoyed, If I'm annoyed by that, it will transfer that emotion to…

Andrew is correct. I simply meant that the person who has the app on their phone will very often see the icon as a reminder, which might prompt them to consider your restaurant more often.

Okay, thanks for saying that! I see it all too often and I just cringe when I see people doing that. Super annoying! lol

I think what he meant was that they would see the app icon, not necessarily constant updates (which would be incredibly annoying, as you pointed out)

Hi Ryan,
I had a little red flag when I read this "they see your name on their phone perhaps a zillion times a day!".
My experience has been that if you post more than a few times per day, people get irritaed and they'll tune
you…

I guess I'll never understand why someone wants to limit their reach to Iphone users! Globally they r 4% of the market. Mobile web combined with SMS can pretty much do anything and more than an App. Usng SMS, you can reach most everyone, not…

We go even further than that! We believe touch screens are a renaissance for communication in the restaurant industry, and the iPad is the catalyst for this switch to the touch-screen future.
The iPad can be used to place orders to control lines…

I think this is a good idea.
A more affordable alternative would be to serve up a mobile version of your existing website and encourage customers to add the page to their bookmarks. Sites like http://www.letseat.at already have the mobile system…

Hey Ryan ~ Here are a few of our newest demos (they are not yet posted to our Website, as it is currently being updated). You will notice that it is taking modifiers to the extreme, but we have many restaurant operators that want it.
Just copy and…

Hey!
How can I see a sample of your online ordering?
Ryan Gold replied to Ryan Gold's discussion 'Does your restaurant have an iPhone App?'
Very interesting!
I would like to see what you've developed... please update or post a link!
Andrew Fickert replied to Ryan Gold's discussion 'Does your restaurant have an iPhone App?'
We've developed online ordering apps for the iPhone as well as online ordering from pretty much any "smart phone" made in the last year. The problem we ran into was on the POS side of the house. Most POS venders either don't have…
