"The person bringing into existence that app for your local pizzeria..." I don't think that's what's going on at Mr. Liemandt's Code Grinders as it would be completely impractical. The pizza place would most likely need a lot of help in having something useful built for them, website or app. It would take hours and hours of back and forth to get their business requirements nailed down. Communication, and trust, are the key elements at this point. Then when development starts, your going to need to show them progress, get feedback, and revise. Then you're going to need to do QA side by side with the pizzeria to make sure you've met their needs. Picture this all happening through email, or Slack, or some portal with someone in another country, with ESL, and maybe a different time-zone. I've seen it, and I tell you what happens. When it's all said and done the pizzeria takes it to someone they can sit at a table with and figure out how to fix/use/abandon it. And those payment gateways? Don't get me started. Even PayPal, a huge company with lots of resources, has a terrible muddle for their APIs. There are exceptions, but I've always been surprised by payment gateways lack of quality. Edit Added an "and"
