Hoping the author reads this: I'd be using your online version if it didn't require a login, especially with a confirmation email after account creation. You lost me right there. Too high threshold, giving you my real address or going through the hassle of a burner one. I'll just use one of the hundreds of alternatives now.
Please do some serious thinking whether this login thing is really needed. I may not be interested in the features that need some statistics tied to an account.

That's not at all what I'm looking for going to a coffee shop. I like the personal connection to the persons behind the counter. A short chat, sittinf down with friends, watching the barista clean the machine and make a coffee. It's the last place where I want to see automation and already touch screens that I as a customer need to operate to order are mildly off-putting and counter to a cozy feel. For me at least.
