APP IDEAS

• IFTTT food ordering that takes different ifs and turns them in to orders or restaurant recommendations.
• Group ordering. A better way for startups to order together.
• Predictive food ordering app that auto-suggests a random meal -- no choice accept yes/no.
• Spotify integration to build a playlist for to listen to while you wait and eat.
• Meal scheduler. Food ordering calendar that lets you plan meals in advance then triggers the order when confirmed.
• Daily order reminder. Never work through a meal again. Email hits at 11:30am with a list of 2-3 restaurants.
• An app that is like a house account with a restaurant, except it is with the app. Group members can order anything from the same card account. Startups or families good targets.
• Chrome plugin, Apple desktop app, Google Cal plugin (meeting scheduled for noon? Suggest restaurants)
• Dinner Gift app that lets someone buy someone else a meal. The purchase is made for a specific meal. The recipient can accept and schedule, apply the amount to a different restaurant, or bank the money. The app auto-generates a thank you email
• Geofenced ordering. Finds your location and suggests ordering depending on where you are. At the office at 8pm? Up pops a list of local favorites.
• A refinement on group ordering - make it real time so you see what people are adding immediately. 
• Multi-restaurant/multi-person ordering.
• An IM/IRC/Hubot bot for ordering.
• A random meal generator that figures out actually reasonable random meals.
