Subway Rolls Out Ordering App in California, Faces 'Footlong' Lawsuit

Jan 24, 2013 02:00 PM EST | By Staff Reporter

Subway, the world's biggest fast-food chain, rolled out a free smartphone ordering app that lets California customers easily place your order ahead of pick up.

The app is available for both iOS (Apple) and Android operating systems and can be found at the Apple App Store and Android Market respectively.

As an incentive for using the app, Subway is currently offering a free cookie with orders placed via the app.

Meanwhile, the restaurant chain is facing a lawsuit from two New Jersey men who claim the company has been misleading them by selling a footlong advertised sandwich that is actually an inch too short.

The suit, filed Tuesday in Superior Court in Mount Holly, N.J., might be the first legal filing aimed at the Milford, Conn.-based company since a Subway customer in Australia posted a photo of a "footlong" sub next to a ruler on the company's Facebook page to allege that the sandwich was not as long as advertised.

Stephen DeNittis, the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the New Jersey suit, said he's seeking class-action status and is also preparing to file a similar suit in Pennsylvania state court in Philadelphia, according to Associated Press.

Subway has not responded to the lawsuit.
