Tapingo Launches Mobile Commerce Service in Columbus
Craving sushi for lunch? Perhaps you're in need of late-night eats, or
maybe your busy schedule doesn't allow you to spend hours prepping a
meal in the kitchen.
Now there's a solution for the residents of Columbus. Tapingo,
the San Francisco-based mobile commerce app, today announced the
expansion of the popular service to Columbus, Ohio.
Beginning August 25, customers can download the Tapingo app for free,
where they can browse the menus of local restaurants, customize their
order, pay, then have their items delivered. To celebrate the launch of
Tapingo in Columbus, Tapingo is eliminating delivery fees for new
customers and will be hosting special in-app promotions for local
favorites.
Tapingo's delivery service is available from hundreds of restaurants,
including local favorites such as Chipotle, White Castle, Pita Pit,
Catfish Biffs, and Buckeye Doughnuts.
"Tapingo makes buying and getting food the easiest part of your day,"
says Daniel Almog, CEO of Tapingo. "Our first priority is the customer
experience, and that means proviing the convenience of a speedy
delivery at the lowest possible price point, while maintaining the
quality of the food."
Tapingo is an official partner of the Ohio State University, which will
serve as a hub for its delivery program. Students on campus can even use
their meal plans and dining dollars to order on the app.
With the average user transacting on Tapingo upwards of five times a
week, the company has quickly established itself as the go-to commerce
app in the vast majority of its geographic markets. "We've succeeded in
becoming the de facto 'buy button' on campus," says Almog. "And that has
given us a foundation for serving the local community in all of our
markets. Tapingo is the ideal solution for busy, time-pressed folks."
