Do you need a mobile app? Ultimately, your order is given to the chef on reciept paper in chronological order, completely analog like it's always been with cooking and restaurants. Even fast food restaurants just replace the reciept paper with a screen emulating reciept paper. You can replicate this functionality with some cheap device and an [email protected] address.

Yes, you need a mobile app. Users won’t order from the places that don’t have a mobile app.

Mobile apps do things that mobile websites can’t, such as integrated payments and geolocation.
