September 26, 2016

Hot Dog on a Stick knows its customers want their dogs fast. That’s why the chain today begins an online order-ahead service, as well as a fall-related promotion, to kick all those made-to-order doggies right into customers' mouths in true Halloween style.

This fall, the chain’s Spooky Sticks & Party Pack Tricks promotion comes with any $1 stick item of the customer’s choice on Halloween,while customers can get 10 percent off Party Packs, beginning Oct.1, with a minimum $50 order.

"Order-ahead technology is the future of service and we knew our customers were hungry for a faster and more convenient way to get their HDOS fix," said  the chain’s Vice President Lisa Merrell, in a news release. "We’re proud to use this new QSR technology and our new Skip the Line online ordering platform allows us to stick a smile on your face in record time."

The online ordering system allows customers to place orders and pick up in stores at a specified time, without standing in line. Online ordering is available through either the chain’s website or mobile app. And as extra incentive, new users who download the app receive a $2 credit toward their next Hot Dog on a Stick purchase.

The coinciding part pack promotion offers a spooky stick item on Halloween and for a dollar, customers can pick any turkey, beef, veggie or cheese stick item when the say “stick or treat” at the order counter on Oct. 31. The 10 percent off party pack discount is being made available Oct. 1 for online orders of $50 or more that use a special promo code. Party packs have 25 stick items and gallons of hand-stomped lemonade and are being promoted by the chain as a great after-trick-or-treat party food solution for pooped-out parents of sugar-fied kids everywhere.
