Use Your Phone, Skip the Beer Line at Express Games

An Austin technology company has teamed with the Round Rock Express to make it easier for you to get food and drinks while at the ballgame. You can now look at the menu, place your order, and pay without leaving your seat.

Bypass has created Bypass Lane, a system that sends fans a text message when their order is ready. You can then pick it all up at the Bypass Lane stand nearest your seat, and be back without missing any of the action.

The system was announced Monday and will be in action beginning this week at the Dell Diamond. Owners of iPhones and Android-based phones can visit www.bypasslane.com to look at the full menus of four concession stands at the park.

"Improving the fan experience is our number-one priority," Express Owner and CEO Reid Ryan said in the press release announcement. "Bypass is real game-changer that allows our fans to skip long lines and remain engaged in the game, their families and the fun. I envision this service being offered at every sports and entertainment venue in the coming years."
