Wingstop now gives Twitch users the ability to order food when viewing livestreams. Twitch users are able to order using the Wing Calculator, which provides consumers with a number of different questions related to their group size and their hunger level. After the questions have been answered, they will be provided with order recommendations. People then can complete their order and pay through the Wingstop website. The new feature will run from November 24th to December 16th.
The new ordering method provides consumers with a different way to order food. Additionally, the order recommendations could help expedite the ordering process for customers. The new method allows the company to show its integration with the livestreaming platform.
