PartyBowl
The Solution
A group ordering feature for Skip The Dishes
The Problem
People in a group need a way to order food online and split the bill efficiently because passing the mobile device around is unhygienic and splitting bills for a large order is tedious.
The Solution
PartyBowl is a product (API) that could be integrated as a feature with all food delivery platforms to help make the group order process efficient and hassle-free.

How it works
It lets the host of a party make group orders and gives them the flexibility to either pay for the entire order or let the guests pay for their own share within a group order.
The host can set a spending limit and a timer for his guests to complete the order.
The order gets updated as the guests add their items. The host can send reminders to any guest who has not added their order yet before he checks out.
