Having been a business traveler (aka Road Warrior) for much of my career, finding good and hopefully healthy food while running through an airport is usually just a fleeting thought. The ultimate goal is to make the flight. How many times have you had to find a way to make a meal out of what you find in the newspaper shops at the airport? I have lost count! While airports have definitely improved their assortment of restaurants and quality of menu options, sometimes having the time to get to the restaurant, place the order and wait for it to be packaged to-go can be challenging.
Well, the thoughtful people at AirGrub Systems (www.AirGrub.com) and Tastes on the Fly (www.tastesonthefly.com) have solved this dilemma with the launch of the AirGrub app. First being implemented at San Francisco International Airport, travelers can order and pre-pay for airports meals at three Tastes on the Fly restaurants within the airport:
Perry’s – Terminal 1
Napa Farms Market – Terminal 2
Yankee Pier – Terminal 3
We live on our phones so why not be able to efficiently and simply order a meal to be ready for us (meaning ordered, packaged and paid for) on those same phones? Makes such perfect sense, doesn’t it?! Place your order and pick up your freshly made meal at your Taste on the Fly restaurant of choice. If you want to add more items, it can easily be added to your AirGrub account. The app is available on the iTunes Store and through Google Play and works on iPhones and Android devices.
The San Francisco International Airport is the first airport for AirGrub with additional airports and restaurants joining the party soon. Next locations include Boston’s Logan and NY’s JFK Airports. If you aren’t familiar with Tastes on the Fly, they operate 15 restaurants in San Francisco, Boston, Denver and JFK Airport. They offer fine dining to casual quick-serve which has landed them in the national “Best of Airport Dining” press lists. Their mission is to serve airport meals as delicious as anything travelers would enjoy at their favorite local restaurant.
For a limited time, AirGrub is offering a discount to first time customers and accommodates employee discounts directly in the app for airport and airline employees. If you are traveling through San Francisco anytime soon, check out the app and let us know what you think. And watch for the launch for upcoming airports. Have a great trip!
Anyone will enjoy traveling and dining and getting rebates at the same time,
I travel a lot, so I will definitely be using this. What a great app!
Great app for persons who travel a lot. Thanks for sharing.
This is pretty awesome. I wish we had this here. It would make things so much easier esp when you’re in a rush.
This is great to be able to order your food ahead of time. This is great for those short layovers.
Wow I will have to try this app when I head to Orlando.
LOVE this, no more waiting to be served and long lines. Especially useful if you have a quick turnaround between flights but need a decent meal.
I like the idea of order your food before get on the plane. Make like easier and less stressful when running to catch plane or times of short layover.
What a great app for those who travel!
Glad you can find healthy food. For me, the only thing I care about is making sure I have Mint Milano cookies with me.
We dont usually travel by airplane but I do have friends that are always flying….going to share with them! Thanks!
That’s what most airports lack, the variety of food that you can eat. It makes traveling a little less enjoyable. I’m glad that there’s a new service to make sure that you still enjoy your dining experience while you travel. This is definitely a must try!
For me food is important when we are traveling with airplane, I’m so glad that I found out about this.
Sounds really amazing idea. Gotta love the idea behind this. Amazing indeed!
What a great idea, catching flights and eating a delicious meal! id love trying it out!
Amazing app! It is great for travelers! I dont travel a lot but I will download it just in case
what a helpful app! I plan on traveling more this year, so this will come in handy!
Ordering your food before you get on the plane is genius! I like that idea very much!
how cool! What a great ad convenient app. I would definitely check this out since we travel often. Thanks for sharing!
Food in airports and on airplanes is getting better. It’s a good change, that’s for sure.
That’s cool that first time users get a discount. I know that if I conducted business and booked things through an app, then I’d take advantage of it. I haven’t jumped on the smartphone train yet.
This is an awesome app! Especially for people who travel a ton.
Great app. Very amazing! I need this app I can now say byebye to waiting. Thanks for sharing!
