Checkout process broken

Please fix the checkout process. It makes zero sense. There are so many dead ends that go nowhere, loop you around back to the menu when you think you’ve paid. It makes no sense.

Horrible

In the age of AI, i do not understand why an app this bad exists.

Not User Friendly

You need a degree astrophysics to navigate this platform. Ordering is simple, but even the simple act of submitting payment takes entirely too long; from having to open up date with each child listed just to insure the order is correct-fields should already be “open”, but way more concisely. Ex, child’s name, below that one line that represents each day and item(s) ordered, “Oct 2: 1 slice pizza, French fries, etc.
The words, “Quick Pay” should just be “Pay”, people are used to just seeing an option to pay, it’s confusing especially for new users of the app.
There should be a way to modify an order after it has been paid/processed. Make it a one step process, Modify/Cancel order

Good not great

Very handy to order kids hot lunches, however I do wish there was a couple notifications. 1. A yearly reminder in September upon your first school year order to revise your child’s class 2. I really really wish there was a notification for when the next months menu is available. We have to order a week in advance and my youngest is not pleased when I miss that 7 day window due to not checking daily towards the end of the month.
