Portillo's Launches Ordering App

(Online) Order's Up! The worst part about Portillo's is the wait. But not anymore. Register soon and you could win free meals for a year.

CHICAGO, IL — Indulging in Portillo's famous chocolate cake just got easier as the Oak Brook-based chain announced on Monday the release of a new ordering app to speed up grabbing your favorites to go.

Using the app, customers can order ahead for pickup inside the restaurant or in the drive-thru. If you go with the drive-thru, employees will be there to fetch your food and steer you around the line. Otherwise, your order will be waiting inside.

And to sweeten the deal, those who register on the app from now through the end of the month will also be eligible in a contest to win Portillo's meals for a year.
