    Our Mobile App Is Now Live on iOS and Android

    Our Mobile App Is Now Live on iOS and Android Our mobile app is now available on the App Store and on Google Play. You can browse and search more than 19,000 Restaurantware products, see what is new, and place an order from your phone. September 25, 2026 Most of the people we supply are not sitting at a desk. Restaurant owners are on the floor, chefs are on the line, caterers are at a venue, and cafe and hotel teams are moving between service and setup. Ordering usually waits for a quiet moment at a computer, and in foodservice those moments are hard to come by. Our mobile app puts the catalog where you already are. What You Can Do in Our Mobile App Our mobile app holds more than 19,000 products, and you can browse the catalog or search for exactly what you need. Search suits the moments when you already know the item. Browsing suits the moments when you are still working out what a new menu, event or service format is going to require. New Arrivals has its own place in the app, so the products we have added most recently are easy to find. If you are planning a seasonal menu or a new format, it is a good first screen to check. When you have found what you need, add it to your cart and check out without leaving the app. The Account area keeps your account information, your orders and your addresses together in one place, so the details you need while placing an order are close at hand. In practice, that can look different for every operation. A restaurant might build an order for take-out containers between lunch and dinner service. A caterer might confirm serveware for an event from the venue itself. A bar manager might look through glassware before a menu change. A cafe or hotel team might add cups and napkins to an order between shifts. Our mobile app is built to fit around those moments rather than ask you to step away from them. Free Shipping on App Orders of $100 or More Orders of $100 or more placed in our mobile app ship free with standard ground shipping. New Arrivals and a Redesigned Homepage Our mobile app is one part of a larger update. New products are arriving across the catalog, and restaurantware.com has a redesigned homepage organized around new categories. A few categories are a good place to see what has changed. If you are building or refreshing a take-out program, start with the take out containers and to go boxes collection, which covers containers for hot, cold and sauced dishes along with the boxes that carry them. Caterers working off-site often begin with disposable serving and catering trays, since the tray is usually the first decision in how a buffet or drop-off order is laid out. Our take-out and catering ranges include compostable, BPI-certified and Green Hero Foundation-certified products to help you meet your sustainability goals. For front of house, the glassware collection covers the shapes a bar or dining room relies on, from rocks and highball glasses to wine and coupe styles. Whether you start on restaurantware.com or in our mobile app, New Arrivals is the place to see what has been added since your last order. If you are planning around a new season, an event calendar or a menu change, it is worth checking before you finalize an order, so the newest options are in front of you while you are still deciding what to stock and how much of it you need. Download Our Mobile App Our mobile app is available now for iOS and Android. Download on the App Store Get it on Google Play Thank you for ordering with us. We built our mobile app for the operators we work with every day, and we are glad to bring the catalog a little closer to where the work happens.
