The pleasure of online ordering
It has been noticed since a while now that people prefer more and more to order online whenever they have the chance, instead of giving a phone call for the same order. It seems that the internet has made us more efficient - we like more to fill in a chart with the dish we want to eat rather than spending minutes trying to explain that we want our pizza without pepperoni and with double portion of mushrooms.
Thirdly...
The thing is, having the opportunity to order online is a real pleasure: it is faster, clearer and offers extra possibilities to both sides. For example, the customer places his online order and can estimate the time it takes for his food to be delivered. This thanks to the Online Order Tracking feature of our software. What is more, should the visitor experience any trouble with the site, he can always access the Live Support button which will put him in contact with one of our team members, who will help elucidate the technical issues in the shortest time possible. On the other side, the company's staff spends less time talking on the phone and more time doing practical work.
Secondly...
The second best thing about online ordering is that it allows clients to pay directly on the site for their orders. This means that drivers will no longer have to deal with the problem of money and customers won't have to worry anymore about not having enough cash. Our online ordering software enables them to pay using their credit cards (both Visa and MasterCard) or by accessing their PayPal account - which is a novelty.
Firstly...
And the winning argument - our brand new iPhone Application, which makes pizza ordering a real pleasure! Now customers no longer need a computer and a connection to the Internet in order to place their online orders. They can order and pay with their credit cards directly from their smartphones. By downloading our iPhone application, they have instant access to your site and everything that's on it!
Rivalry between manufacturers leads to queues for new smartphones
Samsung boasts with over 22 million smartphones sold in 2011, which means that iPhone faces serious competition from manufacturers. And there's more to this fierce contest for the first place. Samsung may be the world's biggest seller of smartphones in 2011, but this doesn't mean that companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry and even the Chinese Huawei are not gaining ground.
And then, from offices where blue collars devise the new look on smartphones, the fight goes in the street. Not literally. Actually, in shops and supermarkets this fight comes under the form of endless queues - an iPhone fan spent not less than 30 hours in front of a shop in order to be sure that he will get to buy the latest iPhone!
This rivalry between manufacturers can only mean one thing: better phones, improved features, more options, unique design, user-friendly interface. So judging from these facts, it is explainable why people love them so much and why 449 million people became smartphone users (RBC report).
It is an impressive number, but the facts speak for themselves. And it is important to keep in mind that users are not the only ones who can profit from the numerous features of smartphones. For example, if you own a pizzeria or a fast food, you can also take advantage of this new technology. We devised a brand new iPhone application that your customers can download directly to their phones. It allows your clients to directly access your online ordering website and to place their orders directly from their phones.
What is more, the app enables them to visit your online ordering site, see the menu and prices and decide upon what they would like to buy. They can place their orders and even pay for them using their credit cards or PayPal account.
