You pick an eatery where you are going for lunch.
Create a meal and invite your friends (or
coworkers if you don't have any friends).
The invitees receive an email notification. Then they
login and place their order if they want to order with you.
You call in the meal after the cutoff time for pick up
or for delivery.
Everyone eats on time.
You enter monies received for each person and the cost
of their meal from the receipt. Everyone knows how much
they owe.
In most offices, one of the most important decisions of the day is
"What do we do for lunch?" This can be time consuming and
maddening, especially if you work with wishy-washy people.
People in offices often like to eat lunch together, however if you order
for yourself and one or two others it's seen as rude. So, you end up
inviting the entire office to order with you and you soon have a fiasco
on your hands.
We solve the fiasco by enforcing some basic principles of courtesy in
the software. Order your lunch together through the site. We track the
order and the money and even enforce a cut-off time, so you can do
more important things than playing waitperson for your colleagues.
The SharedLunch site acts as a lunchtime facilitator so
you don't have to.
When you want to be polite to those in your office and offer to pick
up lunch while you are out, you shouldn't get stuck waiting.
You can use the site to help enforce the basic rules of courtesy
and keep from spending so much time tracking down your
colleague's orders.
