LiveOnTheGo Extends Its Online Food Ordering Service to the Popular BlackBerry Platform

The focus of LiveOnTheGo.com is to provide people on the go with access to online food ordering, making ordering food a faster and more convenient experience. Now, with the launch of the BlackBerry platform users are more connected than ever. Orders can be placed at over 1,000 restaurants online or using a BlackBerry, iPhone, iPod Touch, and web enabled PDA, eliminating the hassles of placing a phone order and waiting in long lines. LiveOnTheGo.com and the new BlackBerry version of the service are completely free to use. Users can place online orders now at liveonthego.com. BlackBerry users will automatically be redirected to the new BlackBerry site.
Restaurant searches are based on a user’s location and choices range from fast-casual to upscale dining. Users can order from complete menus, pay for their orders with a credit card directly on their BlackBerry and even reorder past orders in just a few clicks. Users have the ability to determine exactly when they want their food and if they want to pick up their order or have it delivered, eliminating the need to wait in long restaurant lines. Many restaurants also offer the option of curbside pickup, allowing customers to relax in their car while the restaurant brings their order out to them. Since no money needs to change hands curbside service is even quicker and more convenient than visiting a drive-thru.
“We designed this site for users like me,” said Darren Testa, CEO, LiveOnTheGo.com. “Between meetings, kids and work I am always struggling to find time for meals throughout the day, but I am always connected to my BlackBerry. Now I can place orders directly from my BlackBerry along side checking my emails and staying on top of my business. Plus, since I can pay directly from my BlackBerry when I get to the restaurant there is no waiting in line, I just grab my food and go.”
LiveOnTheGo.com has more than 1,000 restaurant partners in 33 states — with more restaurants signing on each week. Yard House, Baja Fresh, Ten Asian Bistro, Fuddruckers, Schlotzsky's Deli, Pasta Bravo, Cedar Creek Inn, Ruby’s Diner, First Class Pizza, Subway, Antonello Ristorante, and The Flame Broiler, are just some of the restaurants currently partnered with LiveOnTheGo.com.
