Make food deliveries even more app-etising According to Statista, by 2019 the number of smartphone users worldwide is predicted to reach 2.71 billion. Smartphones and smartphone apps have become an integral part of daily life; from counting our steps to booking accommodation to making restaurant reservations and even helping us sleep through the night. So why should receiving food deliveries to your restaurant or canteen be any different? Bidfood recently launched its upgraded mobile application which puts interactive ordering and management tools at the fingertips of all its customers.
THE MYBIDFOOD ONLINE order and payments platform is available to all foodservice operators and allows Bidfood customers to search and buy from their multi-temp range of leading supplier and own branded products. Users can create and access orders, track deliveries, administrate their accounts and pay online. All from their desktop, smartphone or tablet. It’s the simplest and most convenient way to place orders, anywhere, anytime.
