    Are you thinking of ordering food from Yuma Proving Ground’s dining facilities? You can now do it with a few clicks of your computer mouse or cell phone.

    Starting in September, patrons of Roadrunner and the BROC Garden Café can order using the ChowNow online service.

    Users must use the QR code provided by MWR to get the full benefits. MWR’s Business Recreation Chief Ray Lichtenberg explains.

    “If one of our customers goes through the ChowNow app independently they may get charged a processing fee. It’s very important that we get the message out that it’s our generated QR code that must be used.”
    Those QR codes will be posted on MWR’s website, social media, in the eateries, The Outpost plus a link on MAPA.

    Lichtenberg said with the use of ChowNow MWR hopes to expedite service to its customers and avoid long lines by getting a lead time in processing the orders.

    “We are trying to reduce the line and time of service.”
    ChowNow allow customers to tailor their meals to add and remove items, pay and set a pickup time.

    “You don’t want to go online and order and then go stand in line to pick up your order. Our plan is to have a specific location for those meals that are ready to go.”

    The pickup location of those ready to go items will be refined over time.
    This service will then expand to the Coyote Lanes and Cactus Café once its menu has been revamped. The Cactus Café also has new furniture on the way.

    Lichtenberg says MWR hopes to continue getting the YPG community’s support.

    “The fastest way we can actually reinvest into our business is by getting the participating and getting people to use our facilities. We are really hoping that ChowNow allows our workforce to be able to put an order in, and get their food, and it increases true efficiency and increases our sales, which then allows us to take those sales and reinvest into our businesses. Because that’s how MWR works.”
