mobile ordering
Phone-based food requests
Mobile ordering is the practice of placing orders through a smartphone app or website rather than in person or by phone.
Restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers offer mobile ordering so customers can skip lines and have items ready upon arrival: I used mobile ordering to grab my coffee without waiting.
The term also applies to ordering food delivery through apps.
