I feel like this has nothing to do with making the food ordering experience faster, well maybe for Alamo, and everything do with cutting the numbers of servers required and paying less for food runners instead. A digital order ahead option would be fine. This is just dumb.

That’s 100% what it is despite what they say. Now you just need food runners instead of waiters. And a bunch of assholes will now have their phones out throughout the movie. How can you enforce a no texting policy when people need their phones to browse your menu.

In San Antonio you can digital order until the movie starts and after that it’s back to paper. That would be fine.

This is so stupid. I like to turn my phone off during a movie. Let me use the damn paper and pen halfway through when I want another beer/refill/snack

This is of course to allow them to staff few waiters, and I am not a fan of this for ordering in movies. That said, I am.... not the biggest detractor of this for ordering food up front. I'll go catch a lunch matinee on Fridays frequently when work is dead and I'm well over 40 for the week, and paper and pen or with the waiter taking my order directly before the movie they'll fuck up my pizza more often than not. I like to add jalapenos and onions and I like a shaker of red pepper on the side, and it is just always missing at least one of those things whenever a human takes the order and it so far has not when I put it in on the mobile app.

Anyways, I think this is a bad sign and mostly sucks, but man ordering from the waiters is frustrating sometimes.

Lots of theaters and restaurants force you to install their app to order food.

Lots of cunts.

This is some private equity fuckery no doubt.

No even about installing the app. I have the app. It’s just completely anti the whole Alamo experience and why many people choose their theaters.

I tried the mobile ordering at a showing a month or ago, which you were reminded to do only during the preshow.

Could never get it successfully complete an order and add food to my tab. It did link successfully to my seat so I could view my tab.

Certainly don’t like the sound of this news.

I have Season Pass and am up there a bunch spending money. This will no doubt change my theater choices. Just idiocy. Stop making me order from a fucking app. This is obviously cost cutting related but they can’t say it because they’re cowards.

This is the same as Southwest, take away the things that differentiate you and you’re just the same as anyone else. Loyalty will disappear.
