The 'AirGrub' App Lets Travelers Buy Airport Food with Pre-Order Food App

— September 8, 2015 — Tech
Traveling can be stressful for most people, but 'AirGrub' saves people from having to locate a last-minute meal with its pre-order food app.

AirGrub is a quick and simple solution to getting that last-minute, pre-flight meal. The app currently serves airports in San Francisco and Boston and allows users to pre-order from a variety of the terminal's restaurants. The app lets users order and pay for a meal ahead of time, and simply pick it up once at the airport.

To start, customers enter their travel information in the app and a list of nearby restaurants pop up. When they pick up their order, travelers simply show their boarding pass to receive their meal.

The prices for AirGrub users remain the same, and the pre-order app hopes to soon expand to other airports.
