Shake Shack Positive Reviews
UX functionality improvement - Redirect FlowHello,
Kindly, it would help to make an update to the flow. All could be well, but I could not find what I was looking for. Please see below for insight.
I created an order for curb-side pickup. As I was adding items to the cart to purchase, I needed to verify what was added to the cart. Once I viewed the cart, I could not figure out how to get back to the menu to order more items so I swiped the cart pop-up down. There was a screen that only allowed me to initialize my order again by verifying the retail location and RE-entering my vehicle information which had been erased from before. I re-entered my vehicle information, then I was taken to the menu to continue ordering more items. Each time I needed to view the cart, I had to do the above actions all over again. It would help to redirect or have an option to go back to the menu from the cart without starting from the beginning again. Also, I think if you added ApplePay that would be an awesome easy and time saving feature for the customers. Besides that, the UI is beautiful. Great job!.VykiJVersion: 4.6.3
This app will be my Joker origin storyShake Shack is a restaurant I like a lot - it's walking distance from where I live and the food is good. I prefer ordering ahead because it is a lot faster, and I have pretty bad agoraphobia. Crowds REALLY stress me out. The age of mobile ordering has been a blessing for my busy schedule and my dislike of public places.
The majority of my time using the app, I haven't had any problems whatsoever - up until recently. I tried placing an order where the wireless connection was poor (this one is on me) and, to little surprise, it didn't go through. I didn't mind much, as it was a rather predictable outcome. The issue arises when I tried to place an order afterwards. For whatever reason, the order would not get through. I improved my internet connection, restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times, re-entered my payment information, and even disabled and created a new account to try and fix the problem - nothing worked.
It wasn't until I got a new phone when I was able to place orders again. The app was working fine until - yet again - I made an order in a place with subpar internet connection and it didn't go through. Even after I got a stronger connection, I ran into the same problem.
As much as I like Shake Shack, I don't want to factory reset my phone or purchase a new one any time i want food that costs less than $20. Outside of this, the app works fine and I like everything about it! Hopefully this issue will be worked out soon - I enjoy the food and have had pleasant experiences otherwise, and I don't want to have to jump through so many hoops to get a good meal!.@slurpystrawneck on IGVersion: 4.7.0
Good app but useless delivery with multiple locationsI live 0.5 miles from a shake shack location, with another location in another city that is 5 miles away in a straight line, but about 40 mins driving because it’s on the other side of a large lake. Restaurants in this city would never deliver to my house, but for some reason the Shake Shack app is more than happy to allow deliveries from this far flung restaurant, with obviously cold and soggy results. And not only does it allow these deliveries, but on multiple occasions it has chosen this restaurant for me after I placed my order, instead of the restaurant right by my house (and yes, I could drive there, except I have 2 very young kids and packing them into the car for that trip and finding the non-existent parking at this location is just sometimes not a fight I want to have). Putting aside why this other restaurant is even “in delivery range” for me, why in the world would the app not let me choose which restaurant to have fulfill my order, or at the VERY least tell me before I place the order which restaurant the food will be coming from? If it’s not available from the nearby location soon, I would rather just not order. Without that “feature”, I’ve realized delivery is basically useless for me and will need to stick to pick up..Kbens3Version: 4.8.0
Mary Brickell, Miami Rocks!Everyone is pretty familiar with Shake Shack's high-quality, delicious burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches and shakes. That's 4-5 stars, right there. But this place is exceptional - during the quarantine they fed the neighborhood with charm and grace... the food is ALWAYS piping hot, with fresh burgers and crispy fries... order on their mobile app to pick-up food within 10-15 minutes, PRECISELY when promised. There is nice outside seating available, too. The Assistant GM, Felipe Braun, is exceptional in his treatment of customers and delivering outstanding customer service. He does the little things like asking EVERY customer if they need extra napkins, condiments, etc. The company should consider promoting him to a corporate-level job where he helps train and enable the staff in newly opened locations on how the job is done right! Thanks again for feeding us delicious comfort food during the most uncomfortable period in recent history!.Paying CudtomerVersion: 4.25.0
What’s up with the lack of nutritional info?The app overall is great and functions as normal the only thing that bugs me is that when I click on a shake or burger or whatever, the only thing it tells you nutritionally is the calories or allergies. It even tells you how many more calories it would be if you add this or that to it, but my question is: why not just put the rest of the info? There are a lot of people who need to know other details in order to know if they can eat that for their diet, or medical conditions such as diabetes. As a T1D I often need to take a look at the carbohydrates in foods to see if it has too many for me to eat all at once or what I would be able to eat alongside it to make a good meal. I was super excited when I found out Shake Shack had an app since these apps normally have all that easily available. I know that not everyone has theses issues and that you could just do a google search and eventually find roughly what you’re looking for, but I do think that it is important to keep accessibility in mind tho not required. Other than that, lovely app!.The reality to this appVersion: 4.43.0
Shake ShackThis isn’t your usual fast food application where you simply get a list of locations and a look at the menu. This app separates itself for three reasons. One is the ability to read the company’s blog which fills you in on the latest news and promotions surrounding the chain. This is great for those who are devotees of Shake Shack or even for those who are new to the chain and want to find out more. The second which is more of a gimmick but is still unique is the ability to view video from the Shake Cam at its original location in the city. The third is being tailor made for ordering on the go so those who don’t want to wait in line in store can grab their order and go. The app besides having the basics of a location finder has a more stylish food menu interface allowing you to browse items by the category with appetizing photos to go along with it. Users can also connect to all of the chain’s social accounts from the app. If you are a regular of Shake Shack this app is a must download..D. HillVersion: 3.2.09
Good feature, bad stabilityI have used this for 3+ years, ordering 20 minutes before I arrive to skip the line. The interface has remained pretty much the same in the last three years, despite very frequent app updates, so I don’t really what the developers are updating… but the features are intuitive and you have access to all stores near you.
However, sometimes it acts strange. Some stores just go offline for online orders, or the available items are very limited. At one point only fries and drinks are available in a nearby store. That defeats the purpose of online ordering. Sometimes you put items in cart but cannot check out. Just not a very pleasant experience, not anything close to bigger name shopping apps..BlueStar1971Version: 4.7.8
Order aheadMy son is headed there for a school lunch after a field trip. We were given the option to order ahead when I logged in last night it would not allow me because you were due to closing. If ordering for the next day, you should allow people to be able to put the order in ahead of time., Even if it means after hours the night before. You can do it for other restaurants so you should be able to do it for yours. Then when I get in this morning to try and do it for today in the chaos of the morning, after letting it sit in my cart for a few minutes while I attempted to get my credit card my order disappeared for my car and then it no longer allowed me to select the time that I needed for my son to pick it up. What was supposed to be a convenience organized order ahead turned into something more stressful.
I realize, in our I need it now society this is a very small problem. It’s just a suggestion. Have a lovely day..C Lads 2Version: 4.83.1
Please fix the app tech bros Ive deleted and redownloaded the app a few times trying to get it to work but heres some things ive noticed. the curb side option disappeared with no way to get it back, even though every location ive gone to still has a curbside spot for pickup available. when you enter your payment info and request for it to be saved for future use, the next time you open the app its gone and youll need to enter it again. theres is no option to auto fill or use applepay or paypal so if you dont have a card on hand youre screwed. when choosing a pickup or delivery time, the app pauses and either force closes or shows an error which then does not allow you to choose a pickup or delivery time. im sure theres more but this app is making me feel crazy. FIX THE APP IM BEGGING. i just want my chicken nuggets. i just want the nuggets delivered to my house is that too much to ask for.Su baxterVersion: 4.6.8
App needs to be deleted and reinstalled too muchI keep to having to delete the app and reinstall in order for certain things to work, and it always happens when I’m about to place an order this
Is the worst time for a bug in the user workflow.
For example, when I try to re-order something from a past order in my history, the app freezes up when I’m about to check out and pay. So the only thing I can do is delete the app after my order is already to process, reinstall, and then redo the order again. Then it works again.
Same thing with paying with a credit card. It asks if I want to store my credit card info and I always say yes. But then when I try to reorder something from history, it says it deleted by credit card info for my security. So why did they ask we to save my credit card info to begin with? Other apps don’t require this so it sounds like a policy gap. So now I just use Apple Pay instead. Interesting how Apple and so many other apps figured out how to keep my credit card info secure but these developers can’t..KivoswagVersion: 4.8.1
More Waiting and Other DisappointmentsI purposely ordered ahead in advance using this app so I could time a quick supper on my way to doing more work at night after leaving job no. one.
I arrived 8:10 early 5 mins and waited for my 8:15pm scheduled pick up at the Astor Place store. I waited past 8:15 for the txt. When the txt appeared I waited at the pick up, waited. After waiting and going unnoticed for some time I asked about online order. I was told it’s just getting ready???
I waited and more people got their orders. People who I saw when I arrived early 5 minutes ahead of my order placed in advance by 10 minutes thru the app.
I asked 2nd time. Baffled look. Ignored. Finally a guy assigned to help people order got another person behind the counter to look for it.
It was bagged somewhere. When I got the food it was warm but not hot.
Most disappointing of all when I bite into the patties they were dry... I saw as an option in the app that you can ask for “well done” but I made sure mine was not checked, did not want it, and assumed default is NOT well done unless asked.
Mines were past well done and overcooked to dry with blackened edges.
This has been the most thoroughly disappointing experience using the app to save time and a total let down of the juicy burger I had craved for.
Will not be going back to this again..Loyal Premium UserVersion: 3.2.03
Work on UX NavigationI think the UX designers need to think about how this app is structured. I would like to access the menu easily at all times but I can only seem to get to it at the beginning “Get Started” page. As the user dives deeper you are just presented with more and more back arrows. The main reason is because I was looking for a menu and couldn’t seem to find anywhere. The app seems to want to drive the user into a very linear fashion of Location based browsing, followed by select food, then checkout. But if none of nearby locations are open (which is currently the case in this scenario), I still would like to easily navigate and browse the app. Maybe I could even see the order total even if the location isn’t open - and place the order at a later date. Anyway those are my thoughts after taking a quick look around. Love the burgers..Andrew CortesiVersion: 3.2.03
Very GlitchyI’m a serious Shake Shack fan, but sad to see that this app can be very glitchy, and has been for years.
For example, removing items from your cart almost always results in not being able to add new items. Shake Shack also has some great promos, which usually work, but sometimes can be incredibly frustrating. For example, the actual terms of the promo are sometimes not fully outlined making it difficult or impossible to actually use it, resulting in a “required items not in cart” message when trying to check out. Or, like today, there is an active promo that is missing the button that is supposed to be there so one can apply it to their order.
Shake Shack is my favorite fast food chain. But it needs an app to match the quality and price of the food..AppLvrrrVersion: 4.81.2
Gift card purchasesDon’t ever order gift cards from their app. I had some sort of an error while purchasing and had to restart my order again. Somehow the one that had an error went through and I wasn’t notified till 10 min later. But by that time I had place another order thinking the first one went through. Took forever for IT team to get back to me. They told me they couldn’t refund and all sales final even though it was their fault on their end. Ordering food is fine. I guess they can make up for their mistake there, but whatever you do, just don’t order gift cards in your phone. Just go to the kiosk. Their IT team are lousy..Tamb10Version: 4.57.0
App not working and there’s no option to contact supportI ordered shake shack via the shack app at 8:00PM. At 10:30PM, the order still said “delayed” and that it was still waiting to find a driver. Tried calling the phone number but it was “support by Uber” which had me on hold for 30 minutes and never answered. The only other contact option was a general inquiry on the shake shack corporate website. At around 10:30, the order disappeared from my app and then said it was delivered at 8:25, but I never got a call, it never said it was on the way and it was not left at my buildings front desk as requested. I was charged in full, and seems like there’s no way I can get my $ back..MynamesAPVersion: 4.6.7
Easy to useThe app works as advertised. It was easy to find the location we wanted (even asked us to TRIPPLE check the location just to make sure 😁) without a problem. We found what we wanted to order with ease and we were able to easily establish a pick up time that worked for us.
I was able to make changes, go back to previous pages when needed and look at the description of the item without having to re-start my entire order over (that is a pet peeve I have with food ordering apps, many of them require you to restart the order or it’s almost impossible to get back to the order)..Shelby8098Version: 4.8.1
No communicationI used this app couple of times. The second time I used it I could not communicate with shake shack directly. Only way to report a problem was to call the number provided and that was Uber eats
I got the wrong order, cold and not what I wanted. The app says order delivered and enjoy your order. While waiting for my order , driver txt me that order will be delayed and never mentioned any other problem.
When I told Uber eats that it’s not my order, they placed me on hold for 10 min and came back with this story that shake shack did not have my order so they sent me random items instead!! And without anyone notifying me or asks my opinion, also that shake shack refunded me.
Needless to say Uber eats driver made up the whole story so he close the delivery and get his tip and Uber eats requested I contact shake shack directly
I reported to shake shack online , calling the store directly was useless since they never pick up.
I went and picked up food since I am not going to eat random items from shake shack. Don’t think I will ever be refunded as well..FjgyfhygvvVersion: 4.13.0
Family FavoriteWe love Shake Shake in our family, we treat ourselves at least twice a month. We often do order pickup/delivery, but also dine in occasionally. I do wish Shake Shack Corp would pay their employees more, especially for dine in/pick up when there’s an option to tip. I do for delivery, often for dine in, sometimes for pickup. But as a major U.S. company opening new locations all the time, the onus to pay employees a living wage isn’t on the customer and should be supplemented by tips. PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES MORE. It ain’t like your menu is cheap. And I know your top tier are probably overpaid and don’t uphold the popularity or daily standards of your restaurants..Gemini74Version: 4.36.0
Food is amazing but service is so soI guess I shouldn’t be shocked during this time where service is lacking due to the shortage of servers, but… I went to pick up my takeout, and I stood for quite awhile as the server kept her back to me while she slowly put orders together. She definitely saw me, so it was a little irksome. After three more people formed a line behind me, I finally asked for her attention. She then spent quite some time locating my order, which happened to be right in front of me. The Shake Shake app said to pick up the bag with your name on it, but there was nothing identifying whose bags were which. That being said, the food is incredible- best fries ever. I highly recommend it but be prepared for slow service..Texgal68Version: 4.7.9
All good but....You can’t cancel an order. I placed an order not clearly seeing a shake shack was not opened for business yet. I was in the area and was hoping to pick it up in my way to work. They would not open for another 1/2 hr and I could not cancel and had to leave work to pick it up. In that instance it would’ve nice to have the option to cancel. Also at Grand Central Station the servers avoid eye contact and turn their backs to the to the customers and towards the kitchen while my out of reach mobile order sits getting cold until I have to go out of my way waving and raising my voice to get noticed.BowienoVersion: 4.1.7
Food arrival time not synced with appI have used this app several times at different Shake Shack locations. Every time I get a text that my food was ready, and I go to the counter there’s at least a FIFTEEN MINUTE difference between when I get the text and when my food actually comes out. Specifically at the 504 Fulton location in New York, my longest wait time was 30 minutes (AFTER I got text my food was ready, not from the time of ordering). I don’t think it’s the worker’s fault either, I suspect that the app automatically tells people their food is ready when it isn’t. A five minute difference is fine but thirty mins is ridiculous..BhartzlerVersion: 4.2
Great appI love Shake Shack and everything about it. I have yet to have a bad experience with the food or anything else related to Shake Shack. It’s my favorite burger restaurant.
I just changed from 4 stars to 3 stars for one reason alone and it will instantly go to 5 stars once they do this one addition to the app. I will continue to keep this in my review until the follow is done:
There needs to be an option where you can tell them if your order is for dine in or take out throughout the app ordering process.
I hate not having this option, getting to Shake Shack and having to wait until the 11th hour to tell them to switch my order from pick up to dine in. This makes a huge difference in how things are prepared at Shake Shack and presented to you as well. There is so much extra waste when my order is packed for pick up when I am actually trying to dine in. It has become an unnecessary and an easily avoidable hassle if they just make this update. I don’t understand why it is taking so long to make this addition but I really hope it happens soon so I can change my review to reflect 5 stars.
Please make this happen already..Gronimof1984Version: 4.1.7

Shake Shack Negative Reviews
Breaks frequently. Use DoorDash Pickup instead.While this app has a pleasant interface overall, it often breaks on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I will be able to add items and check out, but attempting to pay will result in a vague error, forcing me to use the clunky mobile website to rebuild my order and pay. Also, the various customization options are all hidden in their own separate accordion menus, which makes it really clunky to modify several options at once. You might say this would take up too much space, but right now all the options and accordion menus use massive amounts of unnecessary padding and it definitely seems like most menu items’ options would fit onto a single screen. November 2021: I am unable to use the app OR website to pay via credit, debit, or Apple Pay. The only way for me to pay, besides going in person and waiting in line outside getting screamed at by tweakers. DoorDash Pickup allows you to order from Shake Shack and works well without much in the way of added fees, and it’s what I’d recommend using. Even if you’re currently able to pay, they’ll probably break it in a week again, don’t bother with this garbage app. Read recent reviews to understand how bad it is. November 28, 2021: Have a new phone. Tried the app again. Now it can’t even get past the “Choose a Shack” page. Once you “Choose a Shack”, and select indoor or walk-up pickup, the app hangs for a few seconds and then returns to the “Choose a Shack” page. At this point I’m actually enjoying seeing how this app can keep getting worse every week. December 2 update: I can once again use the app to order..JeevacationVersion: 4.7.6
No notification when order is readyI only rate apps when they’re REALLY GOOD or REALLY BAD.. nothing in between, because there isn’t enough motivation. So here’s what’s really bad about this app: every time I order for in-store pickup, I am not notified when my order is ready. I think I have received this notification only once before out of several orders. The email I receive immediately after ordering says I will get a text when my order is “almost ready”. Instead, I may be sitting in my car, waiting, only go inside eventually and find my order sitting there, already cold, with no notification at all. I can only assume it’s up to store staff to take some action to notify me, since the order receipt email comes IMMEDIATELY and without fail, and since I received an “order ready” notification once before. But this, I would say, is a problem with the app, not the store. If the store’s computer is capable of printing a receipt that is then attached to the bag, the receipt printing process MUST AUTOMATICALLY notify me that my order is being bagged. Anything less than that is below par for the course for modern curbside store integrations. Less of a major issue, but also, please use push notifications instead of SMS/email..DheugjejdfjriggjsbfVersion: 4.8.4
Buggy, won’t let you checkout, constantly deletes orderI tried to start an order for delivery & at first it just cleared my entire order because there were “no delivery times available” (mind you it had told me delivery was available!!) so i started from scratch, selected a new delivery time, put in all the items again, and when i went to hit “checkout” the button wouldn’t work. i kept pressing & pressing it over & over and nothing happened. i was so frustrated as I had friends over and i had already had them put in their order multiple times. there was NO indication of what was wrong. and the app won’t store your order so you can try and select a new delivery time or investigate why you can’t check out. ANY changes will clear the entire order.
in the end we decided to give up & order through uber eats, because multiple attempts of using this terrible app left us hungry, annoyed, and ultimately foodless . i love Shake Shack and I was so disappointed by this experience
this is also just a general gripe but any good delivery app should have a Group Order functionality. of course a group order function won’t help an app that doesn’t work in the first place..UmbrellathornVersion: 4.7.9
Bad App, Bad Store IntegrationFirst off, you have to log in to see the menu.
Then when placing an order (for 4 hungry people, so not simple), it errored out and completely lost the order each time, once AFTER it took my money. They immediately told me they’d refund via an email, but I had to start the order over. Both of those were delivery, so I gave up on that and ordered pick up. Finally it worked, but at no time did it accept the 2 for 1 coupon on their site, even though I had at least 2 Shack Burgers in my cart. So I’m paying full price.
So that should be the end of it, right? WRONG. When I get to the store, all of the drinks and half the fry orders are missing. The employee shows me the paper receipt which did not have those. I showed her the e-receipt that did, so she went and got the drinks. She didn’t get the fries because I didn’t go item by item down the very long receipt to check. I was too hungry and rushed. We only found out when we got home and unpacked. And now we are paying for fries we never received. The manager was kind enough to give me two coupons for free burgers (before I realized they forgot the fries), but why would I want to go back now?.JLobsterVersion: 4.7.9
App Security Issue and Horrible customer serviceOne of my family member has been happily using this app to order Shake Shacks for a few years until this SECURITY BREACH INCIDENT happened. We have since then STOPPED USING THIS APP. Yesterday she received an email notification that her Shake Shack account has been updated (to a name/phone unknown to us), and one minute later, another notification that an order has been placed by someone in another state. She immediately removed her credit card from account and changed her password. Since she did not share her account with anyone, we suspect the her Shake Shack account has been somehow compromised. Then we spent nearly half an hour trying to figure how HOW TO REPORT this SECURITY INCIDENT TO SHAKE SHACK without success. Shake Shack provides only a generic email address for customer to reach out to them. The company does NOT provide any contact phone number, online form, or even dedicated email address for us to report this incident. The worst part of this is, without even providing a contact point for customer to report urgent issues that can be related to the SECURITY OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION (e.g. phone number or online chat to talk to a real human employee), how does Shake Shack monitor and ensure that its customer’s information is secure? How can I trust that this company has appropriate mechanism in place to safely handle my private information and credit card information? I don’t know if there has been a security breach in Shake Shack’s system, but my experience tells me that the company does not care to provide a way fir customer to raise their concerns. We sent an email reporting this issue and hope to hear back soon. We understand it’s a long weekend but also know that fraudulent activities does not pause for weekends. Download and use this app at your own risk!.EricJ88Version: 4.6.6
This app is always deeply brokenJust installed this app and could not submit my order due to a vague error message. Tried literally 10 times, deleted and reinstalled, and my order went through. A few minutes later I got an app notification that my order was received but NOT ready AT THE SAME TIME I received a text that it was ready. Clicked the link in the text and it opened the app and showed the your-order-is-ready-for-pickup screen. My order is not ready and if I close that screen my order shows as pending, not ready. Deleting this POC as soon as my order arrives, if it ever does.
UPDATE: Reinstalled a year or so later. Entered my order, tried to submit, received a vague message about a problem with my order. Since it happened at the payment screen I tried a different credit card, no difference. My son finally figured out that they were out of root beer, so naturally it lets you put root beer in your bag and then gives you a message that doesn’t mention it when you try to pay. Such a crappy app..Joel in BrooklynVersion: 4.7.0
App offers no real-time option if there is a delivery/order issueWhen there’s a problem with your delivery (and there will be), the only option in the app is to send an embedded message that says they’ll respond within 3 days. That didn’t feel very helpful when I was trying to track down my order that was over an hour and a half late. Sure, the app gave a telephone number for their outside delivery team, but they said they had no record of the order and said I had to contact Shake Shack directly. Even when I called the location directly, the calls (several) go straight to voice mail and no one returns them. I’ve ordered from the app several times now, and each time there was an issue (once they forgot to include the burger, once the shake spilled all over the bag, etc). Would love for the system to work, but each time I’ve ordered from Shake Shack there’s been an issue and they don’t let you contact them to discuss it in real time. What a disappointment!.LokibizVersion: 4.6.8
Garbage applicationI placed an order through the shake shack app which is delivered through Uber eats, once the Uber driver got my food proceeded to the address that the app had sent to them. Once the app showed that the driver was one minute out I went down to meet the driver who I received a call from and was over 30 minutes from my location. I spent over 45 minutes on Uber‘s customer service, And speaking directly with my driver who did not want to complete the order as it was 30 more minutes of driving for her. After double checking my order and re-ordering making sure to put in the correct address in for the second time. it still sent the same incorrect address to the Uber driver. in the directions I also put the name of the hotel and the correct address. But the shake shack app decides what the Uber driver can see and what they cannot and leaves both the correct address that I have now entered in twice, and my additional comments to help elevate the situation out..Hangry and foodlessVersion: 4.6.5
Sometimes order won’t go throughThis worked once and it was nice to have my order ready when I got there. It doesn’t have Apple Pay, so you have to put your credit card in. Scan didn’t work so I had to do it manually. It also doesn’t take shake shack gift cards.
Also, I tried to make one burger gluten free, but I guess when I chose that for one burger it automatically made the whole order gluten free, so all the hamburgers had gluten free buns and the hot dogs came with no buns.
The next time I tried to use the app, the order simply never went through. After I submitted order the little food icon kept spinning until it said I missed the time slot. Tried it again for the next time slot and same thing. Force quit the app, had to put in my cc info again (I’m not going to let them save my cc info; why don’t they just support Apple Pay?) and same thing. Order wouldn’t go through and I’ve gave up. Went home with no food. Now I’m trying to cook a baked potato..Gluten_freeVersion: 3.2.06
Some suggestions for improvementIt would be great if there was an option to save your address(s) so you didn’t have to type it in each time. I would also love to have the capability of saving instructions for delivery drivers. There is a Shake Shack 15 minutes from me, yet sometimes when I order for delivery, my order will be sent to the Shake Shack across town resulting once in an almost two hour wait and cold food. Some clarification as to why (for example, shorter wait time or inventory of supplies) would be appreciated. You have the option to reorder from a previous order, but when you go to check out the items disappear from your cart, so in effect you don’t actually have the option of reordering. I love the ability to track your order and I wish you could rate drivers from the app because some of them have been great and deserve to be recognized. Otherwise, it’s a handy little app and I love the built-in option for pickup or delivery..GlassesoperationVersion: 4.7.9
Tablet friendly but not for the phoneLove Shake Shack and the app is great in concept. It works fine on my iPad - no complaints. On my phone, however, not so much. I'm on an iPhone XS Max for the record. I can do everything on the phone I can do on the tablet EXCEPT order food. Kind of a problem for me since that's the main reason I open it. I was blessed with a new location a little over a mile from my house and have become a much more frequent customer and more than a little aggravated that I can only order from the tablet. Especially if I'm out for some other reason and want to pick up lunch on the way home. Silly me, I don't carry the tablet everywhere but I do have my phone with me. I could've ordered on the way so my food would be ready when I arrive but no. Had to go in, order, and wait. Still great but I have to wonder what's the point of an app for ordering food that doesn't let you order food..BlachlochVersion: 4.6.0
Why buzz when it’s not actually ready???The app does the same thing as each location. Why on earth do you get the notification that the order is ready when it is, in fact, not ready??? Also, why bother with a hiring process? Everyone working the window is rude and has no clue about work ethic. It happens consistently at each location with few exceptions, though they exist. I’ve read that hospitality book. Seems as though the book is a mere suggestion of how Danny Meyer wants his companies to function, because shake shack isn’t the only restaurant losing guests left and right. That Hospitality includes has turned his finer dining spots into just another shake shack with the same kind of attitude from its employees. It’s pretty apparent from who is being hired at their locations. And while some of their spots are better than others, the flagship location in Madison square park should be running top notch, not the lowest rate..Rigglemethis1980Version: 3.2.09
Orders not processing anymore :(Shake Shack, what happened??! I’ve ordered through the app like 15 times just this year. Each order is LARGE, since I have five kids and we often order for our neighbors too. Our orders always went through smoothly, zero issues. Impeccable service at our Shake Shack, food always ready on time, fresh and delicious. Until one day my orders simply did not process via the app or website. Everything works and when I hit pay, it seems fine at first but then I get an error message. it’s definitely not my credit card, because it works fine if I pay in-person at the restaurant. I even bought an electronic gift card thrifty the website and that processed just fine, but when I tried to add the gift card on the app, I received the same error message. and yes, I keep the app updated always. Help a mama out, Shake Shack Peeps!!.Jsier003Version: 4.18.0
Good Food; Bad AppNever order from this app; use the 3rd party apps instead. There is no way to report a missing item for redelivery. Since the delivery is 3rd party, the store themselves can’t issue a delivery, at most ShakeShack can give a refund to compensate for it.
The most annoying part is that there is no way to directly report a missing item. If you are the type to prefer calling the stores to ask for specific information about their store or to ensure that the food is allergen free, app is useless as well. (fellow food employee, customers want both the insurance of being heard and to remind employees of life-threatening allergies. We are all human so mistakes happen, and allergy base callers just want to ensure no accidents happen. Pro-active is better then saying nothing if you have a severe allergy. Plus, no one wants to deal with the aftermath). “Contact us” directs you to a short survey regarding the order.
Literally go google the store if you want to call them. The app offers a little online survey for each order (for compliments, complaints, and inquiries), but you will have to manually type in the 10+ digit order number since you can’t copy it from the app. Yes this is a lot of back and forth. You’ll then get an email confirmation with an automatic reply that it will take a few business days for a response. Seems too late if you want a replacement for the item(s).
I’m not upset at the workers for forgetting an item. I’m more upset that there is no easy way to get a replacement or to report it.
TL;DR: Food is great. App is not. Use 3rd party apps. Some minor QoL updates need to get added..Nerdy PirateVersion: 4.14.0
App experience is terribleI love Shake Shack but hate the app. Usually it’s 50/50 if I can place an order due to the latency issues. Usually i get to the very end of ordering and the app either doesn’t recognize my login info or will clock at the final “place order” step. Not a good CX. The associate i spoke to at the pick up window told me the app buffers when traffic is too heavy to protect the restaurant from from getting overwhelmed. Please at least tell me upfront Im going to have issues ordering. Another customer that walked up while I was waiting for the order said she had the same app experience and paid more to order on Uber Eats instead of dealing with the app. Honestly, it’s either a terrible app experience or waiting in a super long line. Neither is great for the customer. This seems like a big opportunity and solvable for Shake Shack. As a former shareholder, this is the number one reason why I no longer own the stock..KikitimlunaellieVersion: 4.38.0
This app is just ok (when it works)When the app works, I’m very happy to place my order ahead and pickup. However there have been many occasions when the app simply doesn’t work. For example, sometimes the buttons don’t work or the pickup time selector is filled with blank options. Even more telling, sometimes I get an error message with just the text “Uh oh..” which clearly indicates that the app was developed by rather juvenile developers. The app forces me to enter my CC info every time even though I request saving it which is a pain in the car. Overall I find the UI difficult to use. By contrast the Chick-fil-A app is a thing of beauty and has never once not worked for me. We love the food at Shake Shack but sometimes we can’t get it because the app is so flaky (just happened again for the 4th time which is what compelled me to write).YohamedVersion: 4.5.6
Pretty but missing basic functionsThe app is very pretty and intuitive, it it lacks basic functions that other ordering apps have. You cannot set a default delivery address or delivery message. If you accidentally switch to pickup (easy to do due to the location of the button), there’s no way to switch back other than to restart your order. And there is NO WAY to contact Shake Shack if there’s an issue: if the delivery driver does not deliver, the delivery company must confirm the error is theirs (10-15 minutes on the phone) and then give you instructions on how YOU YOURSELF can email Shake Shack and request a refund. It’s the most ridiculous thing in the world. This app needs a way to report directly to Shake Shack and request a refund from within the app. I’m deleting as soon as my most recent issue is resolved..JingyingVersion: 4.8.4
Updates are needed for ease and privacy.I should not need to sign in with all kinds of info to order burgers. I don’t want to give you any of my contact info and plenty of places have apps that allow to go orders without having to sign into Facebook, without having to give an email.
You can notify people of their order status using push notifications in the app, you don’t need to be harvesting person info.
Additionally, get Apple Pay guys. It’s 2020 and it’s just not that hard.
I’ve downloaded you app which means you have just as much access to me and me to you as needed. I should be allow to check out in the app without having to make an account and all sorts of other stuff like fb connection/email/phone number.
Being that mobile ordering and app is extremely necessary at the moment, it’s time for you to make these changes to make the process easy/pain free and with privacy in mind..RlablanVersion: 4.3.2
One sad poor appThis app never keeps me logged in. I’ve placed so many orders not being logged in. It doesn’t even prompt me to login. I check when I open the app that I’m logged in, I am. I then place my order only to be instantly logged out and the order not in my account. Wouldn’t be a problem if you weren’t offering your come three times in one month for a free sandwich deal. It’s been three months of not getting credit for all my orders. Please create a better app, better order tracking and maybe a rewards program; something anything. Show me you can de even a little bit. But really just a better app all around. Also constant app crashing after I’ve made my cart and I’m trying to checkout. The app also crashes if I try to change the tip at all. The constant crashing is very unhelpful. It crashes if I try to edit something in my cart..Kimmi0109Version: 4.88.0
Horrible App to Place Food Orders!This app is pretty poorly designed to use as a stand alone to ordering food. The biggest issue is that if you need to modify or customize a menu item you want to order there is no way to do it. Each menu item is limited to a few pre filled options to modify your order. There is no option for extra or heavy sauce on a burger, which is a pretty basic modification. There is no way to leave a note or custom modification to a menu item or total order either. What’s the point of requiring a customer to order from the Shake Shack app if the order is going to be messed up and require attention to be fixed? This saves no one time! Who cares about a blog function on a restaurant app if I can’t order my food efficiently and effectively on the app! Shake Shack get your priorities in order on this app. You can do better!.The1MambaVersion: 4.5.9
Terrible appI have tried to use this on a number of occasions. For a while, it wasn’t displaying the list of locations, so I had to delete and redownload the app. It started working after that. You start off by selecting a time to pick up your order, but 99% of the time it tells you that all the time slots for that day are full, making the app useless (all the slots for the day seem to fill up by about 8:00 AM. Finally, I found a time when I could actually get a spot. I went through the whole order and when I hit submit it tells me “Ruh Roh” (which is really irritating by the way) “we are missing info needed to submit your order”. Doesn’t tell me what info I’m supposed to be missing. I look back through and every field is filled out. So, I’m still not going to Shake Shack. I guess I could go order in person, but if you do that it will take about 2 hours to get a single burger. No thanks..Joshg92Version: 3.2.14
App :(You’re better off going in person to get a better time estimate (by gauging the crowd) and also be sure the order is actually in. It’s hard to tell if they actually got your order or whether the order is still being made or whether it got lost altogether. There’s no confirmation text until it’s almost ready, would appreciate a status update in the app or a text confirming the mobile order succeeded ahead of time (don’t remember there being a text option in the app but maybe I missed it)
When you first order and submit it pops the order is ready pop up with your receipt which is kind of weird, but I figured it was just the confirmation message.
There’s the banner for pick up is ready in the app when the app first loads, so you’d expect to get the order status but it’s the exact same prompt as the confirmation(?) popup which is weird. On top of that, the close button doesn’t actually work to close the banner and browse other parts of the app so you have to restart the app to browse other parts of the app because the app just hangs on that page.
Might as well go and order in person, the app is kind of a frustrating experience; I like the food otherwise though.Anna28492Version: 4.1.7
App product people are awfulCan’t believe I need to write another bad review for this app. Its ability to stay logged in is that of a dementia patient. After spending time putting in the order it asks who you are, then half way through login process it puts a full screen ad up that you need to x out. Which should be a crime against humanity. But it gets worse. I had already put the order in the cart before the app forced the horrible login process and forgot the entire order. I got so angry I went somewhere else.
My experience was so frustrating that I would rank the product person who decided on the full screen app as being just as terrible as the Microsoft one that forces updates on users without their consent and deem them both as Criminally evil, and I would not be able to legally serve on a jury if they were the victim..PossibleExCustomerVersion: 4.86.1
Horrible app/slowwww deliveryHow in the world does this app have 5 stars. I typed in my address and selected one of the options that populated. After order was submitted, I noticed the delivery address was completely missing a building number. They just dropped it. How could an order even go through with an incomplete address. Immediately called support (which is apparently Uber eats) and they said they can’t do anything until a driver is assigned. Okay…. Call back when driver is assigned and they try to call him for 5 min. Supposedly no answer. Tell me I just have to wait for him to contact me once he realizes the address isn’t complete. By the way, app tells me he’s making one stop before me. I got my food over half hour after it was picked up. Cold burgers, yum. Driver said no one ever even tried to call him. Deleting this app and sticking to doordash..B nyVersion: 4.7.9
Worst app everThe is just about the worst app I have ever used. I NEVER write complaining reviews on apps but after yet another frustrating experience where no one in my family could add anything to the cart (!) I had to write in. In addition, I just learned when my sister in law was trying to place a family order over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend that you can’t order more than 5 items in any category! And then I tried to hop on my phone to place a second order and nothing could be added to the cart! These kinds of shenanigans have happened multiple times. I’m grateful for Shake Shack and the delicious burgers but not grateful for this terrible app that prevents me from getting it. Sorry to vent but I hate to see a sophisticated company have such a bad app experience..GfcrustVersion: 4.7.6
Meh app, terrible supportFor days, the app made it impossible to order a meal — no “add to bag” button ever showed up even after quitting the app. Today I was really craving shake shack so I fixed it by uninstalling the app and reinstalling.
I was reminded of the terrible step 1: the app never remembers your address and makes you enter it fresh each time. How hard is it to remember my address?
I put in an order; I got 5 texts that it was being prepared about to be picked up until I finally received it.
The order was wrong and I was shortchanged; I ordered 3 double cheeseburgers with heavy modifications. I received 3 single cheeseburgers with no modifications whatsoever - bread, cheese, meat and that’s it. Not even any ketchup.
What a waste of money.
Customer support is horrific - good luck getting in app support or getting a number to call. Instead, they make you fill out a form and wait 1-2 days. The form forces you to enter information like which shake shack you visited and at what time, even if you specify you ordered in the app. Surprise, the order history doesn’t even show which location it was delivered from.
It doesn’t remember your order number (which you can’t even copy+paste).
All in all, horrible experience..Mikerz85Version: 4.7.6
Could not take my order. Waste of time.I just tried to download the app to place an order for promotion. The promotion said nowhere that we needed to download the app and place the order through the app. I finally download the app and jump through hoops to create an account. I place my order and I’m not able to ultimately because it doesn’t recognize my phone number. I tried multiple different phone numbers and it never recognized any saying an error message that I needed to write the phone number, yet it remembered my phone number from the last 400 times that I tried to place it. I tried to delete my account, and then it made me jump through hoops to do that as well. Absolutely terrible waste of time. Never would bother looking at a shack shake promotion or probably ever eat there again..KoolCat1028Version: 4.56.0
Do NOT order from this appThe restaurant forgot to deliver half of my order. When I tried to troubleshoot thru the app (poor design) it has no way to ask for a credit or a refund—it directs you to call Uber customer service. When you call Uber customer service, they are zero help and suggest that you call the store where you ordered from—which is NOT specified in the app (again, poor design). When trying to call the restaurant closest to me in the hopes of troubleshooting, no one answered the phone & you are sent to a voicemail box. They claim someone will get back to you in 3 days, no one did.
Shake shack, you have great burgers but ABYSMAL customer service. I will only be ordering from other delivery apps in the future that can help me troubleshoot immediately or get a credit. I would give this app .5 stars if I could..52 cinq rueVersion: 4.7.0
