wagamama unveils UK’s first food-ordering app for iPhone

22nd February 2010, 11:30am

wagamama has become the first restaurant brand in the UK to launch its own iPhone application, designed to provide a fully-integrated ordering experience for users wishing to place a take-out order directly from their handset.

The pan-Asian chain's app, which has been created in conjunction with IT application specialists Micros systems, is free to download from apple's iPhone app store.

wagamama's CEO Steve Hill said: "At wagamama we have always embraced the newest technology, so we're proud to be first-to-market in the restaurant sector with our new iPhone app. bringing the wagamama experience to the iPhone offers more flexible ordering than ever before, coupled with the speed and quality of service that our customers know and love."

The app works by enabling users to locate their nearest branch of wagamama and browse the menu to place their order. their selection is then transmitted straight to the kitchen, in a similar way to the wireless hand-held devices used by wagamama restaurant staff.

Users can state a preferred collection slot, at any time on the day of the order, with secure payment made with a debit or credit card via the app

Micros systems' mycentral online ordering technology powers wagamama's app and allows it to be fully integrated with the selected restaurant's ordering and food preparation processes, as well as automatically refreshing the app with new dishes and specials from the wagamama menu as soon as they are added.
