This sounds like a great idea and looks like a cool app so far. A desktop web app version would be nice to have. One curious question would be how do you scale business onboarding with so many different coffee shops with subtly different menus? > We're sometimes asked: why is no one else doing this? There are many mobile ordering apps, but they've all but ignored the coffee market. There is also the Starbucks partnership with Uber Eats ("Starbucks Delivery") [1] in addition to the in-store pickup from the regular Starbucks app. What's your advantage if DoorDash enters or Uber Eats expands further into this market? > You can submit a referral by clicking “Invite a Coffee Shop” on our website I tried to submit a few referrals but didn't find this text anywhere to do it.

Thank you - and we definitely have a web app on the roadmap (ChowNow does this well). We were able to solve the varying menus relatively quickly, because after building hundreds of them we realized how similar they were - just random variations of names, sizes, prices, etc. We built out a core menu with built-in descriptions for common items, and we just modify those based on what shops want. In terms of incumbents, to be honest we haven't spent much time worrying about this. If they build something to compete, so be it. The only thing in our control is how we build the product and network at this point, so we're staying focused on that! Sorry about the mixup, I had mistakenly changed the link the app was redirecting to, but it should be fixed now. Regardless, you can submit referrals here (https://www.cloosiv.com/invite-a-brand https://www.cloosiv.com/invite-a-brand)
