You’ll receive updates as you move up the list and you can time your arrival for when your table’s ready. ORDERING Order ahead – your table will be waiting for you and your food won’t be far behind. Need a refill of something – order it via the app when you’re seated in the restaurant. Order takeout – it will be waiting for you when you arrive. PAYMENT No need for your check or your server, use the app to pay and go.
