COMING SOON… HOPEFULLY!

You order Sprig one night, enjoy the most delicious dish you’ve ever had, and you can’t wait until it shows up on the menu again. What do you do? Well, you could check the upcoming menus every week and set a reminder when it finally shows up.

What if there were an easier way… What if you could favorite a meal after you’ve had it (perhaps from the rating screen)? What if you received a notification every time your favorite meal showed up in the weekly menu? Once you’re notified, you can set a reminder for that meal. You would never miss your favorite meal again!

I’d love to see this feature in the future. What do you think — what features would you like to see in the future?
