No more waiting in line for customers making orders via mobilephone APP.

CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- For restaurants which are always full of customers, it is a waste of time waiting in line. As a new era of retail approaches, there is no longer such annoyance. Recently, Koubei APP, a subsidiary of Alibaba which provides local services, has started to accept food orders. Customers may no longer wait in line for food, and restaurants may use such aggregated data to provide discounts and services precisely.

The reporter tried such feature: search for a shop in Koubei APP, navigate to its page and choose a desired beverage, then register a time that you may reach the shop. Shops will have the beverage in advance before the customers arrive, and then customers are able to take it away by the meal number without waiting in line.

In addition to providing convenience for customers, Koubei APP can cut the labor cost and increase operation efficiency for shops as well. Moreover, because of the trade data, each phone-made order can be used as a tool of reference for future operation decisions for offline shops.

Chongqing is regarded as a heaven of delicacies for many foodies with its large variety of food and restaurants. And for them, the price for delicious food is a long wait in line. As ordering technology popularizes, people in Chongqing may make orders in advance, which not only saves their time but also improves their feelings. (Translated by Yang Lifu, Fathom Language Limited)
