Hey thanks! It's good to hear differing opinions as well, especially since we've been reluctant to spend $ on a pro logo until we're pro ourselves :)

Tough to figure out a menu icon: how can you immediately know what a menu looks like, maybe a rectangle with some fake lines of "text" and a wine glass pic? I've seen that somewhere...personally I think maybe the bite was my mistake (despit

That was my original plan but I needed something for Twitter, etc. Maybe I could do what HN does (along with many others) and just use the first letter in a box when I need a smaller graphic. Thanks for the suggestion!

I created that logo and I hate it too. Any other ideas? I'm a horrendous graphic designer but I'm down to try again, and I agree with your points entirely. We were sort of pushing to get it done at the time. We could consider 99designs.com

What about a freemium model where you could purchase optional support, like MySQL?

It's a paradox: restaurant owners are often disdainful/fearful of technology, so they are the most easily swindled when it comes to understanding a value equation involving technology.

No offense, but that may be the most abstract sentence on Earth. Certainly it is possible that they could write some software, possibly taking the form of a plugin architecture, to store menu modifiers (options and choices), and that it wou

McDonald's definitely does have a limited menu and with very limited customizations. I've worked at 17 restaurants (seriously, and I am aware of the jokes which could be made about this). Now imagine working at place where the customer says

Square is badass but it doesn't offer simple menu capabilities such as modifiers. Restaurants have fairly particular needs in terms of data structures. Also, doesn't Square only support personal accounts at this time and has specific weekly

I think the iPod Touch is too small to be effective as an order taking tool. Maybe something closer to a Nook size. After all, if you're a server and you need to take down kitchen instructions or find a drink fast, a slightly larger device

I think the reason there has been so much analysis is that not having Flash on the iPhone affects the end user dramatically, and Apple is all about user experience. If Apple wanted to "keep development and apps locked in that platform", the

Bindings in themselves might be relatively simple to keep up to date, but binding documentation, error handling, etc, are not. Take a look at the Python bindings for Clutter (C graphics library w/Linux roots). Clutter is sponsored by Intel

Personally I'm of the opinion that it's a free market: Twitter, Apple, Adobe, etc, etc, are swearing allegiance not to the developers of third party apps for their product, but to the customer, which is how it should be. For instance, Apple

I find it ironic that while Brimelow claims: "Any real developer would not in good conscience be able to support this. The trouble is that we will never hear their discontent because Apple employees are forbidden from blogging, posting to s

Yup, george_morgan is right, you were being downvoted for using abstract corporate language to solve real problems. In a forum like this, most of us have heard it before: "We'll resolve this by applying creativity and resourcefulness." "But
