Hi, I see problems with some unlabeled buttons and in one case the name of the restaurant for some reason has the corporation's name next to it and since it is the only one it looks like it would bring up the menu for another eatery. The first Starbucks I click on offers no menu which I find somewhat puzzling. There is also a barber shop included in the first screen when I click "Nearby" and the help screen is exceedingly brief.

First, it is graphic based. There are only four choices on each screen so you'll need to scroll through multiple pages to find information. It would have been better if they had just used lists. Also in my area, the restaurant list I have dry cleaner's, nail salons, carpet cleaners, and frat houses, plus an A&W that has been closed for at least five years. The menus I could bring up seemed to have fewer selections than the actual menus. I do not see myself using this app. It certainly is no where near the app I was hoping for. I removed it from my phone. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze any tie ping or spelin airors.

I wonder if it is an issue with something we are doing at our end not bringing the menus up. The usual way we would do it would be to double tap on the name of the restaurant and presumably, the menu would appear.

In fact, almost 100% of the Portland, Oregon restaurants have menus. Here are more than a dozen that show up on the first screen and they all have menus. Daily Grill, Park Bistro, Starbucks, Eurotrash, Ben & Jerry's, Veggie Grill, Restaurant Service, Saint Cupcake, McDonalds, The Melting Pot, The Morning Star Cafe, Little Big Burger, Blitz Pearl, Seattle's Best Coffee, Higgins Restaurant & Bar, etc. For Portland, Maine, it was probably 50% of the restaurants on the initial screen that have menus. By providing info for all of the restaurants, you at least get access to their website (which may have a menu), phone, directions, twitter, etc. But the goal is to get every restaurant's menu online. Can you provide me, by email to [email protected] the names of some restaurants that don't have menus? Maybe there is a usability change we need to make, so the menus show up better... because in many cases, they are there. Over a million of them in fact. And if you find a restaurant that doesn't have their menu in the app, we would love your help in asking them to be included. It's free for the restaurants, too, to have their menu in the database. This is really a community effort with little downside. Our database provider can even 'scrape' their website to import the menu! Thanks!
