OLO launches Five Guys android app

March 9, 2011

OLO Online Ordering has announced the launch of the first major chain restaurant mobile ordering application made for the Android platform.

Built by Solertium and powered by OLO's API for restaurant chain Five Guys Burgers and Fries, the mobile application will allow users to find nearby store locations and also place secure orders through the native application.

"With open platforms and creativity come amazing new possibilities," said Noah Glass, CEO of OLO Online Ordering. "We are cheering Android's success and believe its market share will continue to climb just as quickly as Five Guys. We're thrilled to partner with Solertium, one of the best Android developers out there, to bring the two together."

The Five Guys Android application was built by Solertium and powered by OLO's API.  "We love that Five Guys wanted to launch with an app that uses all the great features of OLO's new API," said Alison Heittman, CEO of Solertium. "During development, the open Android platform enabled us to quickly share releases and incorporate feedback from a broad internal audience. We're very pleased with the result, and use the app all the time."

Since 2005, OLO has perfected its off-premise ordering platform with the input of hundreds of thousands of consumers, thousands of restaurant owners, and dozens of top restaurant brands. Today, OLO provides mobile and online ordering capabilities for top restaurant chains such as Cold Stone Creamery and Five Guys Burgers & Fries, as well as more than 2,000 restaurants nationwide.
