'Dunkin' Run' Helps Coordinate Your Donut and Coffee Orders

by Caleb Johnson on June 23, 2009 at 02:25 PM


God bless Dunkin' Donuts. Just when we thought the classic combination of coffee and donuts couldn't get more appealing, the beloved chain introduces a slick, interactive way to keep up with group orders. Say goodbye to pencil and paper, folks.

According to Mashable, 'Dunkin' Run' (which launched yesterday, here) works as a Web or mobile application that gathers and organizes large orders, cutting out any mental heavy lifting (so difficult in the morning) on your part. Once you create an account, you decide on a time and invite folks through the app, using e-mail addresses or phone numbers. Those invited receive a message to place their orders via the built-in menu. Next, you place your order, and the app compiles it into one, neat list. The app also stores past orders and favorite items, sends run reminders and cancellations, and can connect to Facebook, so every one will know when a craving strikes.

At one time or another, we've all been that guy or gal who had to pick up an order for the entire office. It sucks, but we think this application might make it a little easier. Now, if only Krispy Kreme would come out with a similar app -- that would really make our grease-filled hearts flutter... [From: Dunkin' Run, via Mashable]
