Have you ever been at an izakaya (Japanese pub) and lost track of how many drinks you've ordered, how many are still waiting, and how many more you should order? It's even harder to keep track when we are drinking, so I developed this app because I wanted a counter to manage this issue. I also added the following functions: 1. Measures the time from order to arrival (lead time) assuming FIFO (First-In, First-Out) to manage whether "this restaurant serves drinks quickly" or "It doesn't serve drinks quickly." (You can review this for each store later.) 2. Measures the time from arrival to the next order to manage "your drinking pace." This can also be reviewed for each store later. 3. Since managing only beer is boring, it also includes highballs, sours, sake, wine, soft drinks... To allow users to select necessary menu items, a separate counter is provided for each menu item via left and right swiping. 4. To manage the above performance data by izakaya, entering restaurant names from the Watch is cumbersome, so a map app integration was implemented to display a list of nearby restaurants for selection. 5. To track the restaurant's lead time and the our drinking pace, a message and vibration alerts the user with "Isn't it time to order next?" 6. Even if the restaurant's 2-hour (or 90-minute) time limit is reached, the elapsed time can be tracked on the screen accessed by swiping left, and a message and vibration alert are provided when the time is almost up. 7. Tapping the end of the drinking session (marked with an "x") displays a summary of the day's total time, number of glasses consumed, average order lead time at the restaurant, and the your drinking pace per drink. 8. Records of each drinking session are saved (and can be deleted later), allowing users to later review lead times by restaurant and menu item, drinking pace, and number of orders in graphs. 9. Added the ability to launch apps from the Apple Watch (complication support). 10. Automatic switching between Japanese and English modes in conjunction with the watch OS language setting.
