Exclusive restaurant delivery platforms are expanding dining options as wagamama introduces mamago, a direct online ordering service featuring meals unavailable through other channels. The platform allows customers to access specially curated food bundles, children's dishes and catering packages through the restaurant's website, making group dining and family meals more convenient.
The service features bao bun combinations with edamame and beverages, alongside smaller portions of popular dishes such as Mini Chicken Ramen and Mini Chicken Katsu. Catering packages accommodate groups of 10, 20, 30 or 50, with additional exclusive selections planned for 2027.
For wagamama, mamago creates opportunities to strengthen direct customer relationships while expanding its U.S. delivery business. Exclusive menu offerings could encourage larger purchases and repeat orders, while dedicated catering services help the restaurant reach corporate gatherings, celebrations and customers seeking convenient dining solutions.
