So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.

If people don't want to form a line do you think they'll download an app? I can already hear the boomers raging on FB about it.

I'm a millennial and there's 0% chance I'm downloading an app riddled with trackers and adverts just to order a drink.

It’s possible to create an effective mobile experience for ordering, paying, and retrieving a QR code with just a website. Your feedback has only helped refine the idea. Unless you won’t use the internet either.

No I won't use the internet ever, in fact I only post to Lemmy by sending a letter to a nearby university who publish my views on the fediverse for me.

A website I can visit with an adblocker is a totally different thing to an app, one of the reasons companies like apps is they can bundle all kinds of adware and shite with it. No thanks.

So we are in agreement then that a web app is sufficient since you can run your blockers while paying in crypto to hide your illicit beer drinking.

So many assumptions in this post I don't know where to start lol

The boomers will just sit at the bar. The cubby system is really just to help protect the bartender from the line-people getting pissy whenever the bartender serves the non-cubby patrons. Puts up a barrier and saves them time having to take some of the orders.
