Lunch orders chaos daily
Offices collect lunch orders through reply-all hell. Money, allergies and latecomers tangle daily.
1. The problem
Teams order lunch together through chaotic threads daily. Choices scatter, allergies hide, and late orders miss the courier. One person fronts money and chases debts for weeks. The hardest part is deadline ordering with stragglers. A thread might bury vegan needs until arrival. That uncertainty makes it hard to feed teams without a daily hero.
“I front lunch money weekly and chase debts forever. I need orders, allergies and splits collected automatically.”
2. What exists
Slack threads, Sheets and catering platforms feed offices, while organizers herd manually. Catering suites price for scale. A poll might gather picks, yet bills and allergies stay separate. There is little help with lightweight order collection plus auto bill-splitting for regular teams.
3. The solution
The solution could be a daily lunch rail for offices. It could rotate restaurant picks with dietary filters built in. It could collect orders before a visible cutoff and split bills instantly. Favorites could reorder in one tap weekly. The goal would be fed teams with zero organizers burned.
