Busy schedule? Doesn’t mean you can’t be a lunch-time hero.

Check out some lunch-time life hacks from Melinda – a busy mom with a hungry high school student – who delivers a mid-day meal to her son, Edward, and his baseball teammates at school every Friday.

With pro tips like placing her order on the app (so she doesn't have to wait to pick it up) and saving her favorite orders (so each boy gets just what they want), Melinda is able to make her kids happy -- with less stress.

And although Edward’s smile is enough of a reward, the Whataburger App Rewards she’s earning sure are nice, too. Since every five vists earns her free food, all those online orders mean Melinda can kick back and enjoy a shake of her own after lunch duty.

Skip the line, plan ahead, and take total control of mealtime with online ordering through the Whataburger App and Whataburger.com. Customize your meals EXACTLY how you want, save them for future reference, and even pay through the app. Technology at its finest.

Customize your cravings with online ordering!

Another app to add to your smartphone, another profile to set up? Sure, we get the initial reluctance, but we believe you’re gonna love ordering from our new Whataburger® app or online.

Why are we so confident? Check out our top 5 reasons.

1. No pressure to “hurry up and order” from the folks behind you in line. When you’re ready, you’ll simply make your selection, and breeze by our store to pick up your meal when it’s ready. Done and done. For added convenience you can save your favorites for fast, efficient ordering in the future! What-a-function, right?
 

2. Wander through the menu to find new items to enjoy. Take a look beyond our signature sandwiches, and you’ll find all kinds of treats for your dining pleasure. Did you know we make a chicken fajita taco? Or serve up ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls? Or that you can add fresh avocado to anything on our menu? All these “secrets” and more are revealed when you order online or through the app.
 

3. Indulge and order your faves in a judgment-free zone. Get two patties and a side of Texas Toast. Upsize the fries and drink. Grab a shake and extra sauce. Shhh. When you order from the privacy of your car, office, or living room, no one but you and our crew needs to know what savory or sweet delights we’ll tuck into our signature bag. And it’ll be our little secret every single time you order it. Wink-wink.
 

4. Know your nutritional facts. Counting calories? Watching sugar and sodium intake? Ordering online or through the app gives you the skinny on the nutrition facts and updates the information in real time, according to your custom choices. You’ll eat smarter! (Again, you can save your choices for the future—and minimize the risk that you’ll succumb to temptation down the road.)

5. Once you place your order, you’re that much closer to that first perfect bite. Ready to bliss out on a shake? Swoon over our crispy Whatachick'n strips and gravy? Get a jump on your lunchtime nosh with a preorder from your phone or laptop. We’re only ever a couple of taps away from taking your order!

You’re all fired up to eat right – counting calories, watching your sugar intake, cutting back on soda – but then lunchtime hits and you gotta get something on the run.

Never fear! With the new Whataburger app (or ordering online from your computer or tablet) you can select healthier options and save them to order again and again from your phone. Bonus: There’s no guesswork in tallying calories, fat, sugar or sodium because the app does it for you.

As you pick out your order, the app automatically tracks calories, serving as a personalized nutrition label for your Whataburger favorites. And studying labels, dietitians say, is a key to diet success. “Until recently, people weren’t able to do that easily at restaurants,” says Heather Martin, a registered dietitian.

No pressure

Running the numbers is easy. Tap the picture of a Whataburger menu item, and you’ll see the calorie count. Throw in the add-ons you’re considering, and the calorie count adjusts automatically.

Don’t like that number? Run new totals with different options. With another tap, you can get a nutritional details and allergen information.

It’s quick, and you don’t feel like you’re holding up the line.

Savor it, make it a favorite

When you strike a combo that’s just right, save it as a favorite. That can keep you strong in moments when willpower is flagging, Martin says.

“Using the app is like coaching yourself by leaving a little note. You have an easy way to click on items that already match your plan to care for yourself, instead of having to make the decision over and over again.”

Cut calories, not flavor

Some simple swaps will amp up the flavor of your meal without compromising nutritional value.

Consider these options for meals under 300 calories:

• #1 Whataburger with no bun, add jalapeños: 290 calories.
• Chorizo & Egg Taquito, jalapeños and Rancho Verde Salsa: 290 calories
• Garden Salad, no cheese, add avocado and Ranchero Picante Sauce for dressing: 285 calories.
