OrdrIT
Summary
Most of us have waited in some kind of line at some point or another. In some situations, it is unavoidable. But we believe that if you are paying 60 bucks to attend a sporting event, you should not have to miss any of the game to wait in line for a beer or hot dog. Our app “OrdrIT” eliminates lines at concession stands.
The average amount of time it takes to order concessions, have your order filled and then finally pay takes about 50 seconds to one minute. So each person you tack on to the line adds another minute to your wait in line and is another minute you’re not watching the game.
Our app allows you to choose your food and pay for it right from your seat. Then you get two options. The first is to have your food delivered right to your seat so you would literally not miss one second of the action or you could choose to be alerted when your order is filled and then you can go pick it up at an express lane.
OrdrIT was created with ease of use and intuitiveness kept in mind throughout the entire design process. It’s very simple. Once launching the app, the end-user will be prompted to select which venue they are at or the app will locate which venue they are currently at using the phone’s location services (if enabled). Next, the end-user is prompted to select from the variety of concession offerings at that particular venue. The end-user then simply chooses what food they would like and adds their selections to their “cart.” The end-user can then “checkout” and pay with a credit/debit card (saved in their OrdrIT account for easy one-click payment) or with a university student card (if they’re at a university sporting arena, ie. Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome). The enduser’s order is then sent to the concession stand to be fulfilled and ready for pick-up or delivery. The end-user will be notified once their order is ready. It’s fast, simple, and easy for both the end-user and the venue to use.

Summary

They have to decide if they want to send the message by using the phones built in SMS application or by one using one of their other messaging applications, such as Google Talk or Facebook Messaging. If they chose to use another messaging app they have to deal with the hassle of seeing which if any messaging service the recipient is signed into. If then they do start a conversation using anything other than SMS and either person loses internet connectivity, the thread of the conversation is lost and they are forced to switch to basic SMS to continue it.
