The waiter has gone digital, thanks to a new phone app designed by technology firm Mobile Bytes LLC.

The Phoenix-based company is hoping to attract full service, fast casual, takeout and delivery oriented restaurants across the United States with its new application for iphone and Android operated mobile devices.

Customers can use the customizable app to order food and beverages from their favorite restaurants and bars, checking out securely using stored credit card information. The app is also location aware, allowing restaurants to be listed and sorted based on its proximity to the customer.

"YWaiter allows a restaurant to escape the $100,000 plus price point that it would cost to build their own app," says YWaiter President, CEO Dan Calderone. "When you compare the cost, hassle and time of building your own app, versus the simplicity of buying the white label service through us, it really makes economic sense."

YWaiter White-Label offers restaurants the ability to license their own custom branded version of the app.

YWaiter is available for free at both the iTunes App Store and the Android Market.
