    GetQuik for iPhone Provides Superior Order Processing and Friction-
    Free
    Transactions for Mobile Customers

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- GetQuik
    (http://www.getquik.com), a provider of restaurant order automation
    technology and services, today unveiled GetQuik for iPhone, a mobile
    ordering web application for Apple iPhone users that allows customers
    to
    skip long restaurant lines by ordering their favorite food from their
    phones.

    "We think the iPhone is an ideal mobile food ordering platform,"
    said
    Ken Ryu, GetQuik founder and CEO. "Customers benefit from the speed
    and
    convenience of mobile ordering while restaurants benefit from shorter
    queues, decreased money handling expenses, and increased order volume
    and
    profitability. Our approach for our iPhone release is to have
    customers
    preset data entry intensive information such as credit card
    information, as
    well as add food customizations online at our web-site. We designed
    the
    iPhone web application with the goal of minimizing clicks and key-
    strokes
    to provide a fast and convenient ordering experience."

    How GetQuik Works

    GetQuik simplifies restaurant ordering with its online ordering
    technology that enables customers to order from their favorite
    restaurants
    via the web, mobile phones or widgets.

    The GetQuik for iPhone service, which launched today as a public
    beta,
    operates on the iPhone's Safari browser. After Apple releases its
    iPhone
    SDK to developers, GetQuik plans to update GetQuik for iPhone to
    operate as
    a native application. GetQuik also plans to provide customers the
    ability
    to search, view and order from a restaurant's complete menu directly
    from
    their iPhone.

    To use the service, customers simply register for a free user
    account
    at http://www.GetQuik.com. Once registered, a user can create and save
    favorite menu items and meals from participating restaurants. These
    favorites can later be accessed from the iPhone web application.

    Registered GetQuik users can access the iPhone application at
    http://iphone.getquik.com. After logging into the iPhone web
    application, a
    customer can view, select, and order their preset menu favorites or
    meals.
    GetQuik allows customers to place orders from the web or on-the-go
    with an
    easy user interface that requires no program to download or install.

    GetQuik for iPhone currently offers ordering from 150 Northern
    California restaurants in its network including San Francisco Bay Area
    regional chains such as Pizza My Heart, High Tech Burrito, Erik's
    DeliCafe
    and Una Mas. GetQuik plans to expand to other U.S. cities in 2008.

    GetQuik first entered the mobile market in May 2007 with its J2ME
    and
    WAP applications for smart phones and mobile devices. With these
    applications, customers can register their restaurant favorites online
    and
    order on-the-go with a few clicks of their cell phone.

    GetQuik has seen rapid revenue growth within the last six months
    and is
    on track to surpass $1 million in transactions in 2008.

    Forging the Mobile Landscape

    Mobile commerce is beginning to impact the way customers order
    their
    food. Smart phones have become more intuitive and robust, and user
    interfaces mimic or exceed the best of desktop computer interfaces.
    With
    smart phone adoption becoming more widespread, the mobile web has
    transitioned from cutting edge to everyday usage.

    "The iPhone has changed the mobile application landscape with its
    intuitive user interface," said Chuck Hammers, founder and president
    of
    Pizza My Heart, a privately owned, award-winning pizza chain
    headquartered
    in Campbell, Calif. serving Northern California. "As an iPhone user
    and
    GetQuik restaurant partner, I'm excited by GetQuik's entrance into
    mobile
    food ordering. GetQuik's service provides customers quick food
    ordering
    on-the-go, allowing them to bypass long waits in a line. As a
    restaurant
    owner, I benefit from increased order volumes and improved customer
    experience."
