I downloaded the Pago App. There was no $20 credit I could find

George, if you read the article closely, the $20 credit was a surprise to the author too. He didn't see the credit on his app. He just found out about it when he went to pick up his food and the restaurant told him it was already paid for. I'm guessing that the first $20 that you order will be 'paid for' in a similar fashion.

I only wish I had a business to use this great App - I really want an ipad...but I am happy to settle with a $20 credit - Great idea and glad it is another Mountain View invention...I love MV!

I hate waiting in line. I hope they can get enough business to keep expanding.

I wish they would add my doctor, the DMV, and the post office to this list. ;-)

Why does everything have to arrive/be delivered/appear immediately? There's value in interacting with the other customers and face to face with the staff.
Seems to me this detracts from common courtesy. Getting to zip in ahead of people just seems like it would alienate those dropping by an establishment for the first time, who did not have a smart phone. Or the regular crowd who interacts with the staff every day or week.
Come to think of it, why not just bring a sandwich to work and save some money?
