The app, which is on the store’s iPad, inputs your name, party size and cell number when you arrive. Then you’re free to leave, knowing that you’ll get a text summoning you back to the restaurant. Or, if you don’t have text messaging, you can alternately get an automated voice call. There's a grace period of 5 to 10 minutes.
This could be the harbinger of similar systems, to be introduced at other popular chain eateries on Long Island.
