Well, it looks like the Shake Shack is listening to our blathering! Peep this email we just got from Kelly Moss:
Thanks for your interest in the Shake Shack. I work for Union Square Hospitality Group and just noticed your blurb suggesting a web cam. I wanted to give you the heads up that we have purchased a web cam for our website, www.shakeshacknyc.com, and we expect this to be live on our site by Monday. It will display a new still shot of the line every 15 seconds. Let me know if you have any questions.
Awesome! Now if they'll just hook up our online ordering idea, Shake Shack will be eligible for our first annual "Best Technology at a Burger Stand" award!
