We jot down a small set of features for our MVP

In a world before the COVID pandemic, we had seen some restaurants in Asia use QR codes for self-ordering.

We had seen similar apps in large chains in the UK, but they all required to "Download an app", "Signup", "Accept this, and confirm that".

We set ourselves on a mission to build an affordable solution for locations of any size, with the minimum possible friction for the user.

Tap your phone on an NFC card. See the menu. Pick the items. Eat. Pay.

I start working on the Menu interface, allowing people to browse, order and pay. Carlos designs very simple and elegant "waiting list" landing page, and starts building the interface for the restaurant staff.

"This is only going to take two weeks" is the biggest lie we told ourselves to this point.
