Mt. Joy

Just washing the windows and waxing the floors (both things I've never done in a literal sense but spend a great deal of time doing in a figurative one).

Now you can get access to the orders you've placed on our in-store ordering tablets directly from the app on your phone.

Mike says to Robbie, "why you leaving me hanging, brother?" So Robbie says to Justin, "Mike says you're leaving him hanging... what gives, dear friend?" Justin thinks and then says to Robbie, "I know why the guest app hangs, I'll have it sorted out lickety-split ." So Robbie says to Justin "that's great but what do I tell Mike?" To which Justin says "tell him there's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets through; also tell him I wrote that."

Which is to say, if you found yourself staring at our launch screen like Mike, this update is for you.

We need to have a chat. Well, maybe need is too strong. We would love to chat. With you. If you want to chat with us. What's new in this version is that, after you place your first order, a little chat icon appears above the menu that let's you tell us whatever you want to get out. So express yourself.

Sometimes, things don't work the way anyone wants them to. This update helps us identify those things and help them find their way to bug heaven.

Performance fixes and bug improvements. Scratch that, reverse it.

A very nice customer told me about an issue with the store selection screen not going away. I have a soft spot for very nice people, so this is now fixed.

We made some minor improvements to our app load time so you can start eating faster.

We want to hear what you think, and in this version, you can let us know. Look for the prompt after you place your order.

Improvements to our in-app delivery flow

We love to hear from you, and now you can let us know how we did right in the app after you place an order!

In this update, we deliver improvements to the Mt. Joy delivery flow.

DELIVERY IS HERE! You can now select delivery when you checkout to have Mt. Joy delivered right to your door.

When a customer tells you about a bug in your app and, in the same sentence, tells you your app is slick, you fix that bug very, very quickly. I guess flattery will get you everywhere. This update fixes an issue with dietary restriction selections getting lost when adding new items to the cart.

Dine-in? Pickup? With this update, you can tell us how you want to get your order.

TWO DAYS TO OPEN.

What's new? We open our first restaurant that isn't on wheels in SIX DAYS! Otherwise, nothing much.

If you are using iOS 16 or below and have experienced an issue trying to check out, I apologize for the headache. This update makes the world right for you again.

I miss you Branden. Everything that is new in this update would undoubtedly have been better with you in the pilot seat. To our users: if you like this app enough to review it, aim some kind words in Branden's direction. Because he is likely responsible for the stuff you like.

With that, some datapoints:
- We now support multiple stores in the app. Select which one you want to order from at the top of the menu.
- We also added support for promo codes in the app.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, woah hold up what happened to version 4.13? You're thinking, did I saunter past an invisible black hole, causing time to move more slowly for me than for Mt. Joy and resulting in my having missed an entire app update?

In New York City (and possibly other places too, but I speak from personal experience), if someone tells you to take the elevator to the 13th floor of a building, there's a reasonable chance you are the victim of a prank. Because many of the elevators in the city have no 13 button in them at all.

Why is that, you ask? Once you figure that out, you may also know why we went from 4.12 to 4.14.

At the far end of the food truck we just launched sits a computer monitor that I use to display tech updates to the folks who make the food. It's sort of like the staff-version of this text box I'm typing in now. But when I type in that box, every so often, someone responds to me. Sometimes the response is "hey the printer isn't working." Sometimes I get "nice update!" And it honestly doesn't matter what the message is. For this software engineer, getting to build systems in true collaboration with the folks who use them has already been the ride of my career. And I could not have asked for a better group of people to be on that ride with. So here's to my amazing colleagues on the food truck.

Oh and if you want to know what's new in this update, just imagine that we heard all the things you wanted to be better about your last ordering experience and did 'em (or smash the update button and you need not imagine at all).

Launching a restaurant is incredibly exhilarating. But with so much going on at every second, it's easy to lose one's train of

As I scoured my brain for something meaningful to say here, it occurred to me that this note has already been written. In fact, every update note I'll ever write, word for word, has already been written. And it gets weirder: every note I've ever written, including this one, has been published online for some time now. Don't believe me? I can prove it:

Woah is right. And if you're still here, 'this is another under-the-hood update' is what I'm trying to say.
