You know what's not fun? Ordering takeout from your favorite restaurant over the phone -- actually planning ahead instead of just showing up -- only to wait in line like a schlub once you get there to pick up your order and pay. If you're anything like me, this has happened enough times that you've thought about starting a Facebook support group, or at least made a strongly-worded mental note of it. Well, luckily OrderAhead feels your pain, which is why it developed a free app (for the iPhone) to allow anyone and everyone to quickly order takeout from local merchants and avoid those pesky lines.Since graduating from Y Combinator last summer, the startup has largely flown under the radar. But today, along with officially making its presence known, OrderAhead is revealing that it has raised $2.3 million in seed funding earlier this year from a bevy of recognizable names, including Facebook Co-founder Adam D'Angelo, Matrix Partners, Menlo Ventures, Ignition Partners, Y Combinator and YC partners (Harj Taggar, Alexis Ohanian, Garry Tan, Paul Bucheit, Geoff Ralston), CrunchFund, SV Angel, Eric Schmidt (via Innovation Endavors) and, last but not least, Bay Area crepe chain, Crepevine.
