A quick coffee just got quicker thanks to Ethical Bean and Mobio

Thanks to your smartphone and Mobio, waiting for your coffee at Ethical Bean Xpress outlets is a thing of the past.

Since Wednesday, the Granville and Commercial SkyTrain Station locations as well as the flagship roastery in East Van have been accepting orders scanned from mobile devices. At all locations, free pocket cards are available with QR barcodes on them. As well, some SkyTrain ads will have scanable QR barcodes.

Once the barcode is scanned, the order is confirmed and charged to a credit card set up by the user; and whenthe user shows up to the Ethical Bean, their coffee is hot and ready to be picked up.

You can download the Mobio app here, and start making your coffee purchasing easier.

Oh, and if you’re heading there anyway, can you grab me a tea with lots of sugar? Thanks.
