The PayPal payment method has been extremely popular among Eat24 customers since its March launch on the main site. According to Eat24 Co-Founder Nadav Sharon, PayPal payments make up nearly 40 percent of Eat24's total credit card orders. With 35 percent of all orders coming from mobile, it was an easy decision to offer the payment method to users on the mobile site.

"Nobody enjoys typing on a mobile device, especially not with thumbs as big as mine," says Nadav. "With the elimination of typo-induced credit card errors, we anticipate a huge reduction in the number of phones being broken out of anger by offering our customers the opportunity to make fast, secure payments for Eat24 services via PayPal on their mobile devices."

Eat24's mobile site offers all the insanely intuitive features of the main site, allowing users to search for a specific cuisine, restaurant or even a particular dish. It remembers user preferences such as favorite restaurants, payment information and past orders for easy re-ordering. Eat24's mobile site also includes 24/7 live chat and order status support, a unique feature in today's food delivery industry, and a customer favorite.
