Mobile Food Ordering Comes to SFGAm

by **UnclePennybags** on January 19th, 2019, 12:41 pm

One of the slides on Marcus Leshock's twitter feed mentions the following:

- New dining location in Hurricane Harbor serving Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
- Remodel of County Fair Grill (CFG)
- Mobile Ordering
- Additional Soda Refill stations.

It's unclear if the mobile ordering will be just for CFG, or if it'll be available elsewhere. In any case, this is a step in the right direction. I make it a point to recommend mobile ordering whenever I do a survey. On some days, the line for food can be longer than for a ride. One less line to stand in makes me happy.

P.S. The additional soda refill stations are nice, too.

Mobile ordering was briefly mentioned on the last earnings call. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was at most restaurants across all parks.

Just hope that the mobile ordering works with the Season Dining Pass, unlike those kiosks they had that didn't...

Does anyone know where they'd put the new restaurant in Hurricane Harbor?

To the right of the Pink Flamingo Cafe, there's a building "wing" similar to the one to the left (Paradise Pizza). Right now, that section is built out with a couple of refill stations. This is the only vacant spot I can think of that could house a new dining location in Hurricane Harbor.

^ Ohh I know what you mean. Thank you

They did confirm at No Coaster Con that it would go to the right of Pink Flamingo. Somewhere next to it at least.

Has anyone tried the new survey that came out for mobile order?

by **Airboss** on March 5th, 2019, 1:27 pm

Here's a link to that survey:

It gives you a nice preview of what it's supposed to look like. I like it so far.

Took it the other day when I got the email. Don't necessarily like the idea don't start cooking you meal till you arrive. Potentially if there is a big regular food line of people ordered but waiting, you could get still get stuck in a good wait.

It's Six Flags. There's no way there's not going to be huge waits no matter what they do.

Most of the food isn't cooked to order anyway, so in most cases, they'd just be assembling your order once you got there.

The iPhone app has a mobile food ordering button now. Clicking it says coming in 2019.

That's just plain lazy...wow.

If all they do is throw the mobile ordering on top of the same level of service, they are moving chairs on the Titanic, you will still be waiting in a long line they are just moving the point of pain to make you think it isn't as bad. It will be.

Or maybe not. LoL

One thing I've realized is that they have MANY foreign exchange students working at the park, seemingly most of them are in the foodservice areas. I think to speed up operations, they should have people that speak English well be the ones interacting with the customers.

by **SFGAM_Hog** on April 5th, 2019, 3:25 pm

I've been thinking that for a while now. It definitely slows down operations.

That's nothing new, back in the 90's I'm pretty sure 90-100% of foods was H-2B from Bulgaria and Croatia. With proper training they can work efficiently and effectively even with just a basic understanding of the English language

Is online ordering up and running yet? Has anyone tried it this opening weekend?

by **SFGAM_Hog** on April 19th, 2019, 7:40 pm

I could be wrong, but I believe it's launching some time in May.

I think they said park-wide WiFi in May, mobile ordering in June.
