From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GoMobo is a remote ordering platform founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Noah N. Glass. [1] The service allows customers to order ahead via a Web site or through a text message to skip the line at quick-serve restaurants (QSR’s) across the United States. [2]

GoMobo launched in New York City in 2006 and has since expanded to over 20 cities across the nation. [3] In May 2008, GoMobo launched a pilot program with Wawa, the popular Pennsylvania-based chain. [4] Other current GoMobo clients include Subway, affiliates of Dunkin’ Donuts, Papa John’s, and Quiznos, as well as other independent restaurants around the United States.
