ISO Wings 2Nite, 2Moro Or L8R? NP. Wingstop Expands Digital Ordering Platforms To Include SMS Text (IRL)

"Texting has become one of the leading methods of  communication today, so what's more natural than inviting our fans to feed their flavor cravings by placing an order in the way that feels most comfortable and familiar?" said Stacy Peterson, chief experience officer. "Wingstop was one of the first restaurant brands to launch social ordering via Twitter and Facebook Messenger, plus the first to offer voice-activated ordering with menu customization through Amazon Echo powered by Alexa. We're now just taking that conversation one step further, making digital ordering more convenient and effortless than ever before."

To place orders through text, Wingstop fans need only engage Wingbot via four simple and fool-proof steps:

1. Text the word "order" to "WINGS" (or "94647") to begin your order.
2. Submit your zip code for the order to be placed with the nearest Wingstop location.
3. Select any eligible item from the menu and customize your flavors, sides and dips.
4. Place the order and receive details on the pick-up, including an estimated timeframe as to when it will be ready, restaurant directions and phone number for your Wingstop location.

While no account is necessary to place a Wingstop order via SMS, fans who do have an existing Wingstop.com account can choose to conveniently pay with the credit card already on file without having to re-enter any information. Wingbot also recalls a previous or favorite order, so wing fans can feed their flavor cravings over and over again with ease.
