Group ordering

You open a basket and share the link. Everyone adds what they want from their own phone, you watch the total climb, and you pay once. It is built for an office at lunch and a family on Sunday, and it is the most used feature among people who know about it, which is not the same as being known.

Scheduled delivery

You can order now for 7:30pm. The kitchen receives the order at the right moment, not immediately: that is what separates a scheduled order from an order sitting in a corner.

What it actually solves

The problem is not eating later. The problem is the rush: at 1pm every kitchen in the neighbourhood is late at the same time. An order scheduled for 2:30 is cooked by a calm kitchen.

Three quieter ones

  • Notes per dish, not per order. "No chilli" written on one dish out of 4 is followed; written on the whole order it applies to everything, which is not what you meant.
  • Picking up an abandoned basket. A basket you left is waiting exactly as it was, including after the network dropped during payment.
  • Addresses saved with their directions. "Blue gate, ring twice" is kept with the address and goes out with every order, which saves rewriting it and saves a phone call.

The one we do not have yet

Sharing a live order with someone who does not have the app. Today that means sending a screenshot. It is on the list.
