SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 05/22/08 --
Diners can now save valuable time when
ordering food so they can enjoy more of
it eating.
CityMint today launched an
easy and convenient service for ordering food in advance from a
mobile phone or online. Offering
interactive "clickable" menus, initially from San Francisco
restaurants and cafes, diners can
accurately place orders for pickup or delivery at favorite neighborhood
haunts -- whether it be Mexican, salads, Italian, sushi or other food fare
-- as well as popular hot spots like Brandy Ho's, Harvest & Rowe and Bistro
Burger.
The CityMint service brings the convenience and speed of online advance
ordering to on-the-go consumers for a variety of restaurants by giving them
the option to place orders on the PC, or from their phone via text
messaging or mobile web. Patrons can even save orders for instant future
ordering.
"People are busier today than ever before, and their mobile phone is
always along for the ride. Consumers are always on the look out for new
additions to their mobile lifestyle," says Frank Kuo, CityMint cofounder
and chief executive officer. "Whether you are a student, entrepreneur or
soccer mom, our service saves you priceless time and hassle when ordering
breakfast, lunch and dinner."
CityMint customers set up an account online to search by cuisine or
delivery area and discover new restaurants by browsing interactive
restaurant menus. When diners find something they like, they simply click
on the food items to place their order in advance from wherever they are.
Each order is then delivered to the restaurant and verified with the diner
receiving confirmation and approximate time for food pickup or delivery.
Payment is automated through the CityMint service, so diners just pick up
their food or open the door when it's delivered. No wait, bother, showing a
credit card or breaking change.
Available for all PC and mobile users with text messaging or Web features,
CityMint is also optimized for the iPhone, Blackberry and Palm Smartphones
with intuitive, easy-to-use Web ordering and search.
