A Device of Convenience

January 15th, 2009 - San Diego, CA - "A Device of Convenience" - By Halie Johnson - The cafe you frequent is bound to have a line out the door and the boss is waiting. But shoot, you haven't had your morning coffee and your tummy is grumbling for the usual poppy-seed bagel with cream cheese.

If only the friendly cashier who knows your name and exactly what you'll order could sense your approach, place your order, charge the check card you hand her every day and have the coffee and bagel ready and waiting at the counter when you arrive.

In today's busy world, the above scenario has crossed many a multi-tasking mind. And it's just what Del Mar Company Founder, thought each morning on his way to work or after a cold surf session.

"I was at a really good point in my career. I had the opportunity to take it further, or put it on the line and take a risk," the one-time CPA said. He took the risk, dedicating his time to developing a system that would get him and the millions of others frequently on the go a little closer to that ultimate convenience.

Thus the Zingle was born...

Zingle Launches New Product

December 8, 2008, San Diego, CA - A new force in mobile ordering has launched Zingle. The founder commented, "Our goal is to tailor a solution for any business wishing to allow their customers another option in ordering. The Zingle invites customers to text their order to the business, where the order is received by a dedicated text ordering machine."

Many companies have failed to move forward into the world of mobile ordering devices, despite the demands of the public. These businesses either lack the in-house technical resources, or those resources are tied up in the core business - but that shouldn't stop them from taking full advantage of text message ordering.  The Zingle will offer an affordable solution for capturing the dollars from text message orders while adding convenience for their customers.

The founder further explains, "Every morning I would go to the same cafe and wait in line to order the same cup of coffee I ordered each morning before. I grew tired of standing in line to order the same coffee and waiting for it to be made. I decided there had to be an easier way…Zingle is the answer."
