# Pre-Ordered Dining Apps The Allset Platform Simplifies Eating Out By Paying and Ordering Ahead By M | Published 2016-03-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dining-app References: [eater](http://www.eater.com/2016/3/10/11191556/allset-app) & [allsetnow](https://allsetnow.com/) One of the struggles to eating out is enduring long wait times when time is short, and the Allset dining app helps to keep the spirit of casual dining alive while simultaneously eliminating long wait times. The app allows customers to [pre-order and pay for their meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-ordering-system) ahead of sitting down, so when they arrive to the venue their meals are ready to enjoy. The app allows for consumers to continue enjoying sit down meals, while adapting to shorter lunch times and busy schedules. The Allset app features a set of [lunch menus uploaded from restaurants nearby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menu-order-ai1) that consumers can browse through to find something to enjoy for lunch or dinner. Then the app sends the request to the eatery, reserving a table and simultaneously sending in the food order so both are ready upon arrival. The meal is paid for through the app as well, to further save time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pre-ordered Dining:** Opportunity for restaurants to implement pre-ordering systems to eliminate long wait times and accommodate busy schedules. - **Mobile Payment Solutions:** Opportunity for payment service providers to develop apps that allow customers to pre-pay for their meals ahead of time. - **Streamlining Dining Experiences:** Opportunity for technology companies to create platforms that streamline the dining experience by integrating pre-ordering, table reservation, and payment in one app. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can benefit from adopting pre-ordering systems to enhance customer experience and increase efficiency. - **Payment Service Industry:** Payment service providers can leverage the demand for pre-ordered dining apps by offering mobile payment solutions tailored for the restaurant industry. - **Technology Industry:** Technology companies have the opportunity to disrupt the dining industry by developing comprehensive platforms that streamline the dining experience and improve customer satisfaction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [One-Swipe Ordering Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-time-ordering.md) - [Swipe-Based Restaurant Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-eats.md) - [Pay-Ahead Food Pickup Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pay-ahead-pickup.md) - [Group Dining Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-to-eat.md) - [Interactive Digital Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabmeal.md) - [Contactless Dine-In Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contactless-dine-in.md) - [On-Table Ordering Startups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leslie.md) - [GPL-1-Friendly Menu Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menu-order-ai.md) - [Swipe Interface Restaurant Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodie-call.md)
