It's interesting to hear about the mobile ordering apps as well, being introduced at almost the same time. It seems like an automatic, since everyone has phones now. I can see a future not far away where I have a list of "favorite

The overarching lesson I'm slowly learning is to not get too comfy with any saas products. Who knows how long they'll stick around, regardless of if they're great / popular / profitable.

Wow, that first website is actually quite depressing. Especially that "worst of the month" one... There just seems to be so much unjust stuff going on. I love where I came from (Pennsylvania / NYC) and love the people, but I&

How is this insane? It's just about keeping very clear logs of the transactions, right? I's not like in the US they don't know where my money transfers are coming from.
