In Pandora, the vast majority of people are doing regular ordering and not using Mobile Order. I think it is likely to stay this way.I am curious how many restaurants adopt this way of ordering and what the wait line will be to get your food if majority of the guests order this way and then show up all at one time to get their orders. I think it is a great idea to help decrease the wait lines during "normal" feeding hours but I see problems down the line that can occur with this style of ordering especially has Disney encourages everyone to use their app.
It's a nice perk for those of us who are tech-savvy. Hopefully because it doesn't require much square-footage (unlike those electronic ordering kiosks they tried a few years back), this format of ordering will remain.In Pandora, the vast majority of people are doing regular ordering and not using Mobile Order.

I definitely agree with this. It will obviously be used more as other restaurants begin to use it, but it probably will remain a "perk" like as a free secondary option. Personally, I'm a fan.I think @wdwmagic nailed it. Obviously it could pick up volume, but I don't know that enough people will either know about it or think to use it.
There are a number of restaurants outside of disney that have this capability and i dont think people by the masses use it. I work in a downtown area with a pretty sizeable work force and the chickfila in the overstreet mall is of course slammed at lunch. They have the same app and I walk past the 150 or so people in line to pick up my lunch with no wait. And of course there is a sign for their mobile app right in front of them

I get what you're saying but the problem for the restaurants, is their marketing. Their strongest point of advertising this feature comes to you once you're already there when it's too late. People don't think "Oh, I should download that for next time" because most people don't spend that much time thinking about or preparing for fast food.
But in the case of Disney, I think it has the potential to be different. It uses an app that many guests will already have and is intended to be used by people who are already conditioned to plan everything about their trip including the times and dates of individual sit-down restaurants and attractions months in advance.
All Disney has to do is actually promote this service and they have a ton of avenues to do this if they really want to: On their website at the time of booking, on their website in the fastpass section, in the app, in the resorts, on the guide maps, at the front of the parks, in the busses, in the audio for the monorails, in lines for attractions that have longer waits on average.
The real question is how far they really want to go with it. I would think that the fact they're trying it at all means they have higher expectations for it than Chick-Fil-a or Taco Bell only because they don't seem interested in even bothering with anything they would consider to be niche, anymore - at least not in Florida.
I believe Flame Tree is next. It works best in large QSRs. Harbour House, Pecos Bill, Cosmic Ray's, Electric Umbrella, etc.I'm really interested in seeing what places get this and what don't, assuming it isn't planned to be everywhere. I'd assume Harbor House may be another good one to test it at, like the aforementioned PizzeRizzo, but I wonder if it'll wind up at Casey's too, or anywhere in World Showcase.
