CHICAGO and ANDOVER, Mass., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Wow Bao, a Chicago-based Lettuce Entertain You Enterprise, Inc. (LEYE) restaurant concept specializing in steamed Asian buns or "bao," today announced the availability of its new mobile ordering application on the Apple App Store.

- GPS-enabled restaurant locator, complete with map and directions
- Streamlined menu presentation for ease of ordering and customizing of items
