TrayBien is designed for use by airline cabin crews using the tray method of drink service. After initially configuring TrayBien for the FA position and type of aircraft, the app takes beverage orders for each passenger and builds the several trays necessary for delivery. Multiple screens are used to facilitate this process, with up to three rounds of service per flight leg. Alcohol orders are noted in red text on all screens. Additionally alcohol order summaries for each seat for all rounds of service are provided to accommodate collecting payments. Paid-at-ordering (e.g., coupons) is also recognized. Easy pasting of a prior order to a subsequent round of service accommodates "I'll have another" without having to remember. Alcohol codes and other configuration items are retained across sessions and app updates. The latest birthdate to legally serve alcohol is reported to make that legal requirement easier to comply with. The "Tray View" optionally displays seat numbers to minimize confusion and mixups. There are several variations on service delivery methodology to meet most FA preferences. A detailed user's guide documents all of the features of TrayBien.

About

Time to Go Countdown

Features
Read full description

Time to Go Countdown shows several countdowns at once, in the order they happen, so the shape of your day is readable at a glance. Not one timer at a time - everything at once. When you leave for the dentist, when lunch starts, when to collect the kids, and how long the flight is away. Position is urgency: whatever is next sits at the top, in the largest type, and everything rises on its own as it approaches. It also names the gaps. "2h 45m until Lunch" is the part of the day you can actually spend, and it recounts itself the moment anything moves. • Hold a countdown and drag it to move it in fifteen-minute steps, or type the new time - the list re-sorts as you drag • Alarms that ring through silent mode and Focus, or quiet notifications, chosen per countdown • Your next countdown on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island • A Home screen widget • Repeats daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, yearly, or on the days you pick • Nothing to sign up for, no accounts, no tracking
