Over the past few months, we have not been able to go to a restaurant to eat. Many restaurants decided to make an app so ordering from them would be easier and safer.
Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Mcdonalds, and many other restaurants have apps to help you order. These apps are supposed to make it quicker and easier to get food and go. But even with technology, not everything is easier. So what apps are the easiest to use?
Junior Sam Brandon said, ¨I like the Chick-fil-A one the best because it gives you different options depending on what would be easiest for you and it’s user friendly. It also makes paying extremely easy by just scanning the app.¨ Restaurants are not the only ones having customers pay like this. Some stores also have an online payment option.
Senior Ellie Grill said, ¨I use Panera. I like the curbside pick up and it’s easy to select. You pick two and see each option. Also, every item on the menu has a picture on the app.¨
Many people like different foods so we may never know what app is the best and most popular. All we know is that they have made our lives way easier these past few months. With the seating being closed on the inside of the restaurants, we do not get to meet our friends. Using these apps allow us to still get food from some of our favorite restaurants around town. Then we can make sure we have a socially distanced picnic with friends.
We asked the student body on our Instagram page a few questions about restaurants. 53 people voted that the restaurant dining areas should stay closed and 31 people voted that they should open back up. 19 people said that they have been eating out more than usual during the pandemic while 66 people said they have been staying home to eat.
Many of the apps show a picture and title of the food you are wanting to order which makes it easy to find your favorite meal. Some of the apps have a button you can select if you're going to go through the drive-through, wait for curbside, or go inside and grab the food. Restaurant employees are practicing social distancing and wearing masks, so you will be safe to get your food. Not everyone likes using apps to order food when we asked the student body if they like using the restaurant apps 66 people voted that yes they like using it while 22 people disagree and don't like using it. I know we are all looking forward to being able to go inside and eat at the places we all love. Right now, though ordering off an app and going to pick up your food is the safest way to get food from your favorite restaurants.
