Demo link is in the GitHub README.

A small side project that I made to make our company lunch orders less hectic. I tried to keep it simple and straightforward, and I had fun learning some of the subtleties to AWS.

Thanks for looking!

I work alone but wish I worked in an office so I could set this up :P

I'm thinking about my friend who works at a busy production company that could probably benefit from setting this up for his co-workers but he is not technically inclined.

I think it would make sense for you to host this like pastebin/bitly where users can generate their own order urls that you host from your own site?

This is beautiful. Really love the timed ordering idea.

The order should update automatically if someone else adds something. Simple AJAX polling would suffice.

Agree. I haven't learned how to do that yet, but polling for non-expired orders is what I want to add next.

If you'd like to have these problems solved for you, give Meteor.js a try. Almost everything's reactive out of the box. It could be perfect for a small, realtime app like this.
