Hi guys,
I'm Richard. CEO of ShortcutApp. I just wanted to let you know that we've begun a trial at Loftus Rd to allow people to order food and drink from their phones. This means that you can skip the queue at half-time, not have to carry cash and not miss any of the match. You can order anytime from now up to half-time and specify when you want to pick it up.
You can get a £2.50 discount on your first order using the discount code 'QPR1' and you can download the app by clicking here - http://www.shortcutapp.com/app or by searching for 'shortcutapp' in the App or Google Play Store.
It's currently available only in the Ellerslie Rd Stand but we hope to spread it out soon. I'd love to know your thoughts.
Kind Regards,
Richard [Post edited 6 Mar 2015 16:44]

how does it work, are the drinks left on the bar like at a theater for you to pick up or do you go to a special queue and collect drinks that way? |  | | |

You go to a special queue and pick them up there. We're currently operating at Kiosk24, in the centre of the Ellerslie Rd stand. If you go there with your order number, your order will be ready for collection immediately. | | | |

Anything that gets round the queue problem is manna from heaven as far as I'm concerned.
When you're trying to catch up with mates or trying to keep multiple kids happy or both the multiple queues in the Upper Loft or Lower School and are a massive ballache and have been for years.
I'd happily trial it when it gets to one of those stands.
Incidentally I loved the fact that there were beer sellers in the corridors in the upper loft for the Arse game.
I was late and managed to buy a beer downstairs, neck it on the way up, and finish it as I ordered a hot dog. Classy it was not but as I'd been stuck in a massive traffic jam it was great to be able to buy a drink without queueing for the first time EVER :-) |  |

Thanks for your positive response! I'll let you know as soon as we expand beyond Ellerslie.

If it works (i.e. the queue for collection isn't as bad as the other queue) then I think it's a great innovation. I never buy from the kiosk in Paddock at half time because it's too much flipping hassle with two people serving all of East Paddock.
Could you also invent an app that scores more goals than the opposition for us as well please. Thanks in advance. |  |

So you'll wait in the queue to collect your pre-ordered stuff rather than the queue to order :-)
Hope it works out though, in theory it should be much quicker and would save a lot of hassle! |  |

But surely if everybody uses it then the Pre-Order queue will be longer than the normal queue?! |  |

Really glad someone's trying to sort out the queues in Ellerslie. If you don't leave before the whistle you basically can't get a drink at the moment. And if you do manage to get one, you get about 2 mins to neck it.
Good luck with it, will be giving it a go! |  | | |

I would pay handsomely for a service that would have a piss for you at half time. |  | | |

No waiting in queue - it's a very quick pick up. Why don't you try it tomorrow and see :) | | | |

Because it's been pre-ordered, it's bagged and ready for you when you arrive. Transaction time is about 2-3 seconds compared to 2 minutes in the normal queue. The pre-order line is barely there because it moves so fast :) Give it a try and see! | | | |

Something that came to my mind, just a night or two ago, I don't know why or what I was thinking about.
We arrived at Ibiza airport, and our queue for the EasyJet flight was next to the express - or what ever they call the extra tenner queue - for the same flight and we went went through faster!
Edit: Small victories, eh? [Post edited 6 Mar 2015 18:21]

Better than queuing for 20 minutes to find out they have a Bovril, a pack of ready salted crisps and an Irn Bru left.. | | | |
