If you can find some space between your Venmo, Uber and Instgram apps for one more, there's some free Shake Shack in it for you. The burger company announced a brand new app today, joining other chains like Starbucks that introduced mobile ordering for streamlining and speed. Bonus: anyone who downloads the new app gets a free ShackBurger to redeem anytime between now and February 28th, 2017.
Excluded from this promotion are ballparks, stadiums...and airports. You couldn't help make that JFK experience a little better, Danny? Also excluded: Android and other mobile phone users. "An Android version of the app is in development," they promise. Another point for Apple, we guess.
The app also includes things like nutritional information, Shake Shack's social media channels, and access to any promotions being run by the company. They've also got a built-in feature that shows the line at the Madison Square Park Shake Shack, a bit of old school NYC Shack history.
