The Nation's Largest Online Food Delivery Service, JUST-EAT.ca, Expedites Growth With iOS Mobile App

TORONTO, Aug. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - The Canadian arm of global brand, JUST EAT, launches its new e-commerce iOS mobile app for on-the-go ordering today. With the addition of this faster, more functional mobile platform and the brand's aggressive expansion in new cities, JUST-EAT.ca expects to see over $50 million in order revenue processed through its system to restaurant partners this year. As the nation's largest and only coast-to-coast online food ordering service, the brand services more than 160 cities and towns through its partnerships with 3500 restaurants.

Enticing consumers to download the app, JUST-EAT.ca also launches a rebellious national campaign that challenges users to 'Enticing consumers to download the app, JUST-EAT.ca also launches a rebellious national campaign that challenges users to 'Give Hunger the Finger' today (http://givehungerthefinger.ca). To enter to win one of ten $25 vouchers, users must download the app, place an order and show the brand 'how they defeat hunger' by communicating a fun photo via Twitter or Instagram.

"There's no longer an excuse to walk around with a rumbling stomach," exclaims JUST-EAT.ca Managing Director, Todd Masse. "With our new app, it's easy to order from the palm of your hand in seconds-no matter where you are. We can't wait to see how Canadians kick their hunger to the curb!"

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE ORDERING
With an improved user experience from JUST-EAT.ca's existing mobile site, the app is making many new ordering possibilities an option: consumers can conveniently order take-out or delivery from their iPhone while on-the-move, without the hassle of having to repeat any financial or delivery information. Order food on the streetcar on the way home from work and arrive to warm and ready-to-eat dinner. Pass the office iPad around with the app open for the team to order lunch. Search restaurants open late from the bar and have a midnight snack waiting at the door.

With this simplicity of ordering and its existing base of mobile users (traffic to JUST-EAT.ca's website from mobile devices is its fastest growing segment of visitors), JUST EAT Canada anticipates 10,000 downloads within the app's first month and expects its portion of sales from mobile devices to rise to nearly 45%.
