Until this update, sg was one of my fave apps for ordering food: I love the many, many options for order customization, the detailed item descriptions and topping images, and as a vegetarian, the ability to apply personal dietary restrictions as profile rules sets the bar for other meal order apps. On my first try, this latest version was a fail for me, though ... there is now no customer control over when to use rewards credit (and one has to use the app to order to get credit in the first place, which I have grumpily accepted). In my case, I have rewards dollars that don’t expire for three months, but they are automatically added in the app to my order with no option to ‘save for later’. Also, there is no notification that a store is closing soon - the app just kicks orders to the next day with no explanation if an order is made in the app within 30 minutes of a store’s closing. I understand that sg employees might want a half-hour buffer for app orders before a store’s closing - the app for a certain ubiquitous coffee shop does the same thing. But unlike said coffee shop app, there is no explanation that a store is closing soon and sg operation hours aren’t provided on the ordering page, so it’s easy to miss and really frustrating to go through the motions of making an sg order only to get to the order pick-up page and have ‘tomorrow’ as a customer’s first available option. How about a ‘closing soon’, sg?

I think this may actually be the best app I’ve ever used. You just find your location and choose your order. At the click of a button you can edit the order. With each item you remove or add the calorie count changes. They give you options for mixing your salad or having dressing on the side. If you mix it, they also give you the option of how much dressing you want. I think the only thing I’d like to see changed is that there be an option for even less mixes dressings (even the smallest of the 3 choices is quite a lot). You can choose your time to pickup when you get there it’s sitting on a shelf waiting for you. You just walk in, grab it and go. This business plan is wonderfully executed.

I have been using this app for a couple of weeks for occasional lunch orders. Conclusion: the pick up experience is a deal breaker. Both their Bryant Park and Grand Central locations are the victims of their own success. It starts with online orders. Every day the app says one or more ingredients of the bowls I want to order are missing. Pickup windows are only available every 15 mins. If you pick 12:30, for example, you will find yourself at 12:30 in the shop with another 50 12:30 customers plus all the 12:15 customers who whose orders they botched. It’s so full that you can’t even reach the pick up shelf. Everyone touches every bowl they can get their hand on to check if their name is on it. Completely overwhelmed staff have no clue how to handle the situation. Dozens of customers want to talk to 2 staff about the whereabouts of their orders. Meanwhile dozens of orders pile up on the counter because there is no way to put them on the pick up shelf. Angry delivery drivers shout at staff because they can’t find the orders they were supposed to deliver half an hour ago. It’s a mystery to me why this app is so popular when the execution is so ridiculously poor.

The this app app is nothing short of incredible. I’m a frequent at this app, but this app greatly enhances my experience. I’m able to order ahead of time and stroll into my local this app to pick it up when I am ready for lunch. The app not only makes ordering convenient, but customizable and intuitive/easy for the consumer. What’s more, the app has beautiful images of my options and reminds me of how healthy I’m being by eating salad! Even if you’re not a frequenter at this app, the app has a scanner to track your rewards and allow you to pay with your iPhone in store (you have to connect your credit card / Apple Pay).
