Chick-fil-A Launches 'Chick-fil-A One' App, Offers Free Sandwich to Users

FAIRFAX CITY, VA -- Chick-fil-A launched Chick-fil-A One on Wednesday, a mobile app that gives customers a new way to experience Chick-fil-A.

The chain restaurant with devout fans has four eateries in the Fairfax City area including:

• 9509 Fairfax Blvd.
• 4400 University Dr.
• 4516 Fair Knoll Dr.
• 11750 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy.

The company says the app is designed to give customers more choices to better meet their needs, including the ability to customize their meal, order and pay in advance and skip the line at the register, speeding up the process of waiting at the counter or drive-thru.

According to a recent survey commissioned by Chick-fil-A, 82 percent of millennial parents say they would do almost anything to avoid long lines at fast food restaurants when they are with their children. Nearly half (48 percent) said they would rather not eat at all than stand in a line.

“We know time is valuable, and we’re excited to offer this new convenience that will empower guests to order what they want, when they want it and exactly how they want it, all from their mobile device,” said Michael Lage, senior manager of digital experience for Chick-fil-A. “This app was developed based on customer feedback, so it was specifically designed to give our guests an even more convenient and personalized experience in our restaurant.”

Chick-fil-A One, which replaces the restaurant chain’s previous app, features a unique membership program that will surprise customers with their favorite food for free, based on their preferences and previous orders. As users order or purchase through Chick-fil-A One, they get closer to their next free offering and can track their progress in the app.

Any customer who downloads (or updates) the free app and creates a Chick-fil-A One account between June 1 and June 11 will receive an offer for a free Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich or Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Once the offer is claimed, guests will have until June 30 to redeem their free sandwich.

Chick-fil-A One is available via the Apple App Store or Google Play, or simply by tweeting through an activation that was custom-built by Twitter for Chick-fil-A. From June 1 through August 14, customers can Tweet #CFAOne with the horizontal cow emoji to receive a prompt to download the app from Twitter directly to their mobile device. Membership is open to anyone over the age of 13.
