Text messaging fast food orders

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Jul 12th 2006 @ 10:04AM

This morning I came across Mobo, a text-messaging-based service that allows users to send food orders to New York City restaurants like Cosi, Quizno's, Subway, Dunkin' Donuts and Ben & Jerry's. The restaurant prepares your order, bills your account and has your meal waiting for you to pick up from a special separate line. The idea being that you can message ahead and then breeze by all the other poor slobs waiting in line for their sandwiches. Apparently you can also assign codes for the things you order frequently. I don't live in NYC, but I'd be curious to hear about people's experiences with this type of service.

What a joke....fast food sucks enough as it is.......cold french fries, heatlamped burgers, over the counter service that blows anywhere, the burger joints and taco barns serve you crap in bag!! , and expect you to deal with being screwed out of $5.00 every time you visit them. This is just what everyone needs, the ability use a text message service to order up a bag of under cooked crap!!!!.....You guys are gonna go broke on this one!
