Who doesn't love the food at Portillo's? The only thing that gets in the way between you and your food at Portillo's is the line, but the wait at Portillo's just got shorter!

The popular Chicago-style food resturant announced Monday August 8th, Portillo’s will launch an app for Apple, Android devices, allowing you to order food for pickup that was create to allow customers for pickup inside the restaurant or even in the drive-thru, according to a Portillo's news release.

Customers get $5 off a mobile order of $15 or more when they use the promo code "HOTDOG" at checkout, the news release said. Also, 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!

After placing an order thru the app, customers can pick up inside the restaurant — either to the bar area or a kiosk near the front door, depending on the restaurant — or in the drive-thru, which typically has a second lane so customers can get their food and then pull around the other cars, Portillo's spokesman Nick Scarpino said in an email.

“Our original ordering system that we still use today was created by founder Dick Portillo. In the restaurant our teams write customer orders as short abbreviations on each Portillo’s bag, which are identifiable to our whole team,” says Keith Kinsey, Portillo’s CEO said in the statement. “It was important to us to maintain this piece of our brand identity as we expanded our digital offerings. The Olo team was able to work with us to create a unique product that is unlike any other restaurant app.”

Once downloaded, the app allows users to select a Portillo’s location, choose their food and place their order for in-store or drive-thru pickup, allowing them to skip the line.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
