Foodie Swellness: Time-saving RITUAL app

November 9, 2015

Waiting. In. Line.

Ugh.

It drives me nuts. You, too? I mean there are things that need to get done! I work from home but I spend a lot of my days going from one beauty event for the launch of a brand’s new collection to a studio to get my gait assessed to a new bar to try a cocktail.

So I’m always on the go. And sometimes I pencil in event after event (my calendar is a colour-coded sight to behold!) really closely together so as to not waste a moment…Which means that I often have very little time to grab a snack or — this has happened a few times — I manage to completely forget about making time in my day for lunch.

Which makes Ritual app my time-crunch saviour when I’m just plain swamped and hangry. Now available in six neighbourhoods (Yorkville, Liberty Village, Yonge and Dundas, King West, Discovery District and St. Lawrence Market), Ritual eliminates the time wasted by waiting in line, making your order and then standing around til your order is ready.

How it works: All you do then is place your food and beverage order and pay using the mobile app and it notifies you how many minutes until your order is ready so you can time your walk over from your desk to go pick it up. You’ll find your order off to the side as a Ritual order with your name on it. Can’t you picture yourself just breezily walking in and grabbing your takeout already? No waiting in line, counting out cash to pay, waiting for change, and so on and so forth. 

Just refrain from saying “Suckers!” out loud to the people waiting in line, haha.
