7 Technologies That Are Changing The Way We Dine

We are living in a HAPPY world, and this new found love for apps is encouraging more and more developers to build mobile apps. The proof for this is that every morning when I wake up, I get a smokin' hot cuppa of mobile app news lingering on all the pages of news websites. The software has now changed the way we drive our cars (Google's automobile software), a way we like,( thanks to Nest), and even how we travel in an airplane (credit goes to Virgin America).

Well Well! This is called the app fever and in these appy times, people are eating, drinking, and breathing mobile apps. Let's, for example, say the food finding apps. We now have exquisite software for guest ordering and payment and brands such as Applebee have placed it on every table. On the other hand, there are apps such as Spooner, which can be used to order food instantly or reserve a table at a particular restaurant.

Well in this blog we will discuss some ways how technology is changing the way we dine.

Deliver Delicious Delicacies At Your Doorsteps

As I said that people are eating mobile apps, this is where I will prove it. Now to eat people rely heavily (stats) on online food ordering apps. Just saying that online food ordering apps are growing will not be the right thing to do as it is not just growing but rapidly and luxuriantly.


According to TechCruch, in 2013 and 2012  investment of $46 million and $25 million was made in online food ordering companies and the improvement is so much that an investment soared to a whopping  $600 million in 2014. And till  May of 2015 and investment of about $360 million was made and considering this pace the annual investment will reach to $1.2 billion. This is not just any growth. Indeed, it isn't.

The main reason for this increase is the utility of these app offers to the users. As there are times when we do not have the mood to go out for a supper. Therefore, these online food ordering apps act as your savior as they deliver delicious delicacies at your doorsteps. Well what else a gourmand can wish for. Moreover, now we have apps that showcase the user ratings of any particular dish and the best restaurants from where you can order them, and they will get it delivered at your place.


Joey! Doesn't waits for food


Well, I can empathize with the disgusting feeling when you are standing with your special date waiting for a table at a restaurant for about 45 minutes. Well, this is quite a bummer! Well do not worry as now we have an ample lot of table reservation apps that can help the you chalk out your special date and don't worry you do not have to face any embarrassment. As per a survey conducted in the USA, 37.6 percent of the people said that they once or twice in a month make an online reservation.




Fruits and vegetables shop on your phone


Fruits and vegetables are certainly quite essential for remaining fit. However, in this extremely busy world, people do not get time to go to the stores and buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Well, why to worry, as you are in an Appy world where you can get mobile apps for everything.  All you need is to download a mobile app that can help you pick fresh fruits and vegetables. Just order them and get it delivered at your place. Now with these apps, you do not have to stick to the limited stuff available in your kitchen. Just order whatever you wish to cook tonight.



Make your payment easy


Now that you have had your meal and mind it that you haven't waited for a table as you already reserved it using your online table reservation app, but now you have to wait certainly for the waiter to come with your bill and then when it comes back with the remaining amount.
 Duh! no.

You now do not have to wait for anything now as you can easily pay your bills using the handy mobile apps. There is more to it as you can now not only pay the bill but can also calculate a tip for the waiter all from your app. Well, this concept is yet to come in India but is successful working in the USA.


Stick to your Diet regime

Now that you have satiated your appetite, you now need to keep a track of the all the calories that you have gorged on. For this, we have incredible apps that keep a track of your diet at a very intricate level. For instance, whether you are trying to avoid non-vegan food or trying to maintain a level of iron in your diet, all you need is to tap into your app, and they will fetch you the perfect restaurants that serve you dishes as per your dietary needs.

Multi-purpose food apps


Finding your favorite dishes is not enough for food lovers as there is another thing that they find very exciting and that is sharing what they have eaten. Finding a restaurant that serves an awesome chicken or soup is like finding a treasure for them. This is the reason they want to share it with their friends and tell them the places where they can go to have the best food. They also like to share their reviews and ratings, and this has given rise to social networking kind of food apps where one can perform multiple task such as the order in, reserve a table, find dishes, share their ratings and reviews and also share their latest checking and pictures from the same on their social network. Well wondering which apps does that! Spooner is the answer people!
