Definitely a great tool for businesses to utilize. I would like to learn more about this product.
I have saved so much time using Zingle. I wish more places offered this service!
cool idea! I hate to wait for my coffee--wish I could use this at Strbx!
I will Zingle if you tell me Ford is single! LOL Yowza!
Brilliant.....
this is the greatest idea. there is nothing worst than being late to work because of slow service or crowds!
A huge help. This is a big convenience and time saver - actually causes me to visit my favorite places more often, and when I otherwise wouldn't because of the time pressures it relieves. Can't wait to see it grow.
How innovative and timely for all of us consumers !
Hope many businesses, esp ones I frequent, get on board!!!!
