Wagamama has today launched an app which allows users to browse and order food from their phone.

The app has been specially created for Nokia handsets, with the fully-integrated ordering system available to be downloaded for free from Nokia’s Ovi Store.

Users can use the app to locate their nearest Wagamama and browse the pan-Asian restaurant’s menu. Once they’ve chosen their dishes their order can be sent directly to the kitchen of the selected branch, mirroring the ordering system used by staff in Wagamama’s restaurants. The app also refreshes itself automatically with new dishes and specials as soon as they are added to the Wagamama menu

Users can choose a convenient pick-up time if they do not want to dine immediately and payment can be made securely with a debit or credit card.

In addition to the new app, Wagamama online take-out site wagamamatakeout.com is now fully optimised for use on smartphone handsets.

Wagamama CEO Steve Hill commented: “Our new app takes the speed and convenience of the Wagamama experience beyond our restaurants and brings it direct to the handsets of mobile users, who are choosing to order via their handsets in increasingly greater numbers.”
