This has literally been done tens of not hundreds of times. It’s probably one of the go-tos for students in any kind of art/hci class. I did it myself back in 2007 as a student with a partnership with Telefonica and the Catalan government in Spain!

every "hackathon" I went to for years had some try a variation of this. and "bill-splitting" apps. but... wtf - you're an adult who can afford an apple smart phone. how many times are you "splitting a bill" and having to settle up with people such that this is such a burden that you'll want to use an app for that? that one truly flummoxed me, but every hackathon event (pre-covid) I went to had people talking about this sort of problem.

I’ve seen these apps used at almost every company I’ve worked at that orders food delivery once or a few times per week.

What precisely where they using it for? Beware of the dog here?

[vbsteven]

I was talking about the bill splitting apps that are used in situations where the same group of people frequently orders food together.

Yeah, I worked with a team in 2001 developing a Palm Pilot version of something similar for military use.

I dreamed about owning a palm pilot when I was a child. I would sweat at the thought of owning one of these one day: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Palm_TX.... I recall they used to be about $200. Forgot they existed.
