Order takeout or office lunch with AI
“Ordering for a group means a hundred texts about who wants what.”
AI can collect orders, pick from menus by diet needs and budget, and fill the delivery cart. You check the order and pay.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Collect what each person wants (or their diet needs) and the budget.
- Ask the AI to pick the restaurant and fill the cart.
- Check the cart and pay yourself.
Copy this prompt
Order [lunch/dinner] for [n] people from [app/restaurant or 'suggest one'], budget [ ] total. Needs: [diet notes per person]. Fill the cart and show me the items, total with fees and tip, and delivery time. Don't place the order or pay — stop at checkout.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
