Subway announced Tuesday that it was launching a bot for Facebook Messenger to allow users to order and pay for a sandwich or salad.

This is a new initiative in the ongoing quest to enhance the guest experience.”

The app allows users to find the closest Subway for pick-up and the food can be paid for through the app.
