I wish Seamless would innovate more. Recommended restaurants or meals would be awesome. Seamless has a total lock on the NYC market, but their website sucks, their ratings are highly unreliable (due to restaurants faking ratings), and they rarely add new features.

I wish Seamless would innovate more. is incompatible with Seamless has a total lock on the NYC market, sadly.

I wish you could search intra-menu. "Show me all restaurants with sweet potato fries within walking distance."

Yelp can kinda do that, and Google can kinda do that, but they are just going off reviews and not indexing menus attached to locations specifically.

This is actually a pretty good idea. Seamless does have a program that allows selected affiliates to get data dumps from them, you could probably build it based on that.

On second thought, I think you can already do that on their website, just not in their iOS app yet.

What I meant to wish for is discrete ordering. I want one sushi roll from place A, a dessert from place B, and chicken from place C (all collected and delivered by one person). That's more of a job for the exploitative labour task5rrrrrrrrr category though.
