I have been using this app to order takeout from my local restaurants for the past two weeks and it’s been great. No problems and fast delivery. I was looking at the bad reviews wondering why, and they all seem to be from a while ago. The app has definitely improved.

If you want a magical experience with a vending machine, this is the app for it. Products drop w/out touching the machine! Even better, I can use the same app at the Market we have in the office for self checkout of snacks and lunch. Easy to use
