I wonder what data source it uses. Google? OpenStreetMap? Does it take opening hours into account?

We use Google Places, locations are stored in Firebase. Users can also submit places to our database and we check them to make sure they're valid.

To answer your question about the opening hours, yes it takes them into account as well!

We plan on updating the app soon /frequently with new features like feedback, geofenced reminders and favourites.

Would be awesome to have real time status on queues sizes. Sucks to end up at a crowded Doner place when I'm starving :)

Haha, maybe we can have a Periscope like feature to livestream the queues!

Its for those late nights, when you really need your fix after a long bar crawl. Take out the phone, open the app, hit the button and get your Döner.

Of course, we will at some point make a web app. We focussed on apps first as we have more experience in native app development.
