aussie first for mobile food ordering!
The world’s favourite noodle bar, wagamama, has become the first restaurant chain in Australia to offer an interactive online ordering system designed specifically for mobile and online use. Revolutionising the concept of ‘fast food’, wagamama mobile takeout will allow customers to order delicious dishes direct from their iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia or PDA - whether it’s from the office, train or living room. Just imagine walking to a restaurant and ordering on the way to pick up as soon as you get there!
The new service, available for mobiles at http://m.wagamamatakeout.com.au, means that in just four easy steps, noodlers can find their closest wagamama restaurant, select and tailor their meal exactly how they like it, request a pickup time of their choice and pay via credit card or prepaid account. From side dishes including edamame (soy beans) and various types of gyoza (dumplings) to ramens (noodle soups) and teriyaki salmon, guests can choose to add or remove certain ingredients, just as they would if they were dining in a wagamama noodle bar
Making the process easier still, noodlers can set up an online account that keeps a record of their favourite meals and preferences when tailoring orders. The account remembers payment details and users can even add credit via the secure mobo2go system so they can set aside a weekly or monthly spend without having to worry about entering their credit card details while on their mobile. The ability to order remotely in advance ensures noodlers don’t have to wait for their food and guarantees it is prepared exactly as they requested
“wagamama is all about providing our guests with great-tasting food and a fun, relaxed dining experience and we are always on the look out for innovative ways to enhance the wagamama experience,” says chief executive noodle of wagamama Australia, Mark Rowland, who also users twitter to monitor customer feedback. “Just because customers are opting for takeout, their overall experience should still be the same as if they were dining in our noodle bars. Our seamless new mobile ordering service, will ensure we’re meeting the demands of time-poor Aussies without compromising on service and we’re very excited to be the first restaurant chain in Australia to be able to offer this”
In addition to the mobile service, wagamama has also launched www.wagamamatakeout.com.au, providing the same service online – a useful service for Aussies looking to save time by ordering their lunch before they head out from the office or have their dinner ready for collection on the way home in the evening
As the nation turns to takeout food more and more, wagamama provides a restaurant quality, yet convenient and healthy alternative to the fatty and sugary options provided by most outlets to ensure that being busy doesn’t become an excuse for a bad diet. Since it first opened its doors in Australia in 2002, wagamama has established award-winning restaurants in 12 locations across Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth
