Hey guys,

Last weekend we participated in Cal Hacks’ hack:now and created a mobile ordering app builder called Mobile Orders.

It can help business owners get set up a mobile ordering app using a Google Sheet. No programming skills required. No registration needed.

We would appreciate any feedback!

Hi! This is really great. Quick feedback for.minor improvements:

General:

* Maybe 1-2 sentences more at the beginning for what appears at the end ("web app that runs in your browser") and what is the use case (for where your servers can enter the info and it appears at the bar?) * Some kind of customer/table identifier would be useful? * Quick instructions at the end how to use it. E.g. "both bar and server open the app on their phone"

If your target audience is really non-tech people I imagine they might struggle with the instructions for

* step 5 (just spell it out a bit more) * Step 8 and 9 (mention where to find those settings) * Step 10 onwards: suddenly you mention software that was not yet introduced and there are a few terms that dont make sense unless you understand them already * Step 11 - something is missing: what do I do with the code I've changed? * step 12 is a bit quick and I'm not sure what comes out at the end. E.g. where to click "run the app" and where it will appear

Hope this helps, really well done and this is just nitpicking ;)
