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

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.
