The Almanett App: Reclaiming Online Ordering

Context

When Waitr shut down, The Almanett | Hotel & Bistro in Gulfport, Mississippi lost a key online ordering channel. They needed a branded, operations friendly way to reach guests again without marketplace overhead. Foodscout GO delivered a dedicated pickup only app that brought their audience back.

For broader context on the ecosystem that powers this, and that Eldrbreak helped build, see the Foodscout GO ecosystem.

The Task

Launch a guest facing app that fits The Almanett's workflow and cost structure, rebuilds repeat ordering, and keeps pickup status clear so guests know exactly when to head in.

What We Built

A branded mobile app powered by Foodscout GO:

• Quick reorders and saved details that reduce time to checkout.
• Clear, live order status from placed to ready for pickup and picked up.
• Pickup windows and instructions that set expectations and reduce wait times.
• Favorites that encourage repeat behavior and increase retention.
• A fee model that places a small service charge on the customer, not the restaurant.

Outcome

The Almanett reclaimed its online channel and saw large tickets again, including $300+ orders. Guests track pickup status and feel confident their order is prepared properly, while the brand owns the relationship through its app.
