Chocolate Bar Now Available on the App Store

Fans of delicious martinis, mouth-watering food and spectacular desserts can now have a valuable resource at their fingertips. The Chocolate Bar App is available on the App Store for free download.

The outstanding restaurant in downtown Buffalo developed the Chocolate Bar App with Red Pixel Studios so that patrons can get information with a few flicks of their finger.

A product of Red Pixel Studio’s RPS | infoApp solution, the Chocolate Bar App allows users to browse the entire Chocolate Bar menu, including the extensive martini list, soups and salads, pasta and sandwiches, and of course the delicious dessert specialties for which the restaurant is famous.

The App also keeps fans informed with the latest news from The Chocolate Bar, so they can be sure to know about featured entrees or tempting new desserts from the restaurant’s masterful chefs.

“We wanted a way to connect to our guests and give them something useful at the same time,” said Bill Panzica, director of franchising for The Chocolate Bar. “The Chocolate Bar App lets us directly communicate with our customers and allows them to give us immediate feedback, so we can continue to provide the first-rate experience for which we’re known.”

“It was also important for us to incorporate the technology of the iPhone as we expand our concept to other cities,” said Panzica.  “In addition to our Buffalo location, we have a Chocolate Bar in downtown Cleveland and soon we will add locations in Nashville and Clarksville, Tenn.”

Panzica selected Red Pixel Studios to develop the App because they were able to incorporate the numerous features he wanted at a very low cost.

“We developed infoApp as a framework to produce customized, branded Apps for a wide variety of customers,” said Jason Kyle, vice president of Red Pixel Studios. “It’s an extremely flexible and robust system that enables us to quickly and inexpensively develop personalized Apps for restaurants, tourism destinations or nearly any organization.”

The Chocolate Bar App is available on iTunes.
