Noodles with your I-phone sir?

It was going to happen sooner rather than later.Now there is a I-phone app where you can order your noodles.

Wagamama,reports Brand Republic,has introduced an app that

allows users to place an order for take-out directly from the handset.
The app also enables users to locate their nearest branch of Wagamama and browse the menu to place their order.
The order is then sent straight to the kitchen in a similar way to the wireless hand-held devices used by Wagamama restaurant staff. Users can state a preferred collection time and pay for the order via the app.
