TL;DR
Shake Shack is offering free burgers to customers who download its new app and use the promo code 'shackappy' by January 28th. The app allows customers to order food ahead of time, reducing checkout lines.
Shake Shack, the incredibly popular burger chain, is promoting the national launch of its new app by offering free burgers for those who download the app between now and January 28th. To get the free burger, users have to download the app, which is currently only available on iOS, create and account and then checkout using the promo code “shackappy.”
The restaurant is notorious for its incredibly longs lines, so the app is, in part, hopefully a solution to that challenge. With the new app, customers can order food 10 to 15 minutes before they’d like to pick up the food, cutting down on checkout lines. Customers will also get a reminder text letting them know their order is ready.
A good thing to note is that the promotion can’t be used at Shake Shack locations in airports, stadiums or ballparks. Other national retailers, like Starbucks and Chipotle, also let you order and pay ahead. According to a statement released by the restaurant giant, an Android version of the app is in development.
