So I just looked at the quick start demo code. Did everyone notice the irony in it? We created some fake people and some fake orders and randomly let the people see the fake orders. Then we try to predict based on this data. A bit silly isn't it?

But anyway, the whole thing seems pretty cool.

Best fake recommendations ever! But yeah we make the assumption the developer and their app (food delivery or otherwise) has some data (users, items, actions) on which to build a model. Otherwise you won't get very far...

Thanks! Some of our tutorials have test datasets (e.g., MovieLens) if you want to try it out - http://docs.prediction.io/current/tutorials/movie-recommenda...
