Your Favorite Restaurant, Now in Your Pocket
What is the Rodney’s app?
The Rodney’s at 436 app is our new mobile ordering experience built on Owner.com and available on iOS and Android. It brings the full Rodney’s menu, loyalty program, secure checkout, and delivery options (DoorDash and Uber Eats) into a single, easy-to-use app.
Why did Rodney’s build an app?
We built the app to remove friction so you can get Rodney’s food the way you want it: quick pickup, reliable delivery, or fast reorders; without extra steps or confusing third-party workflows.
What’s included in the app?
The powerful and easy to use app includes:
- Full Rodney’s menu with high-resolution photos and detailed descriptions.
- Customization options (allergies, cooking preferences, add-ons).
- Pickup and delivery selection (DoorDash and Uber Eats drivers integrated).
- Built-in loyalty program (10 points per $1 spent).
- Real-time order tracking and push notifications.
- Secure payment (Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards).
- In-app messaging for customer service and order issues.
The Key Takeaway:
Rodney’s is now as convenient as you need, everything you love, a few taps away.
How It Works: Pickup, Delivery, and Everything In Between
How do I place a pickup order?
Open the app, browse or search the menu, select your items, customize them, choose Pickup, pick a pickup time (ASAP or scheduled), and tap Place Order. You’ll receive a push notification when your order is ready; then you walk in, grab it, and go.
How does delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats work?
When you choose Delivery, Rodney’s app arranges the delivery through DoorDash or Uber Eats drivers integrated with Owner.com. Orders route directly from Rodney’s POS to the delivery network; a matched driver picks up and brings your order to your address. You’ll see the driver ETA and receive updates in the app.
What menu features help customize orders?
The menu includes clear item descriptions, ingredient lists, allergen flags, portion sizes, and optional modifiers (e.g., extra sauce, gluten-free bun, no onion). High-res photos accompany each item so you know what you’re getting.
Which payments are accepted?
The app accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all major credit/debit cards. Payment is encrypted and stored securely if you choose to save a card.
Your Key Takeaway:
Order how you want, pickup or delivery while keeping full control and clarity.

How does the loyalty program work?
You earn 10 points for every $1 spent in the app. Points appear in your account instantly and can be redeemed for desserts, adding a sweet finish to your iconic dinner here.
Do I have to sign up separately for rewards?
No. You’re automatically enrolled when you create an account in the app, no extra signups or passwords.
What perks come with the loyalty program?
Perks include:
- Free item redemptions (clear point thresholds shown in-app).

Why Owner.com? The Tech Behind the Experience
What is Owner.com and why did Rodney’s choose it?

Are there financial benefits to using Owner.com?
Yes. Owner.com’s model helps Rodney’s avoid high third-party commissions, allowing more revenue to fund local wages, ingredient quality, and community programs.
