Now that iPhone's can jump from Tweeting to eateing, as Eppie’s co-owner Dan Epstein and his customer and local techie Brian Williford have launched orderTopia, which allows customers to create an order, choose a pick up time, and pay for their order using their internet-equipped phone or computer. OrderTopia holds the order until it’s time to begin preparing it, then prints it just like orders at the restaurant.

“We built this system to run directly through the restaurants' existing point of sale system,” says Epstein in a release. "This frees up front of house staff to focus on in-store customers and doesn’t require any changes to kitchen procedures already in place."

So far, Elevation Burger (a Northern Virginia-based franchise), Eppie’s, and Revolutionary Soup are on board, with Rise Pizzaworks, Mellow Mushroom, and Boylan Heights in discussions.
