Say It Once, Never Again
Five steps. The first two happen once, and the stand does not have to be on MyDrank for any of it.
- 1
Write It Down Once
Size, milk, shots, syrups, sweetness, temperature, whip. Every part of it, the way you would say it at the window. No menu to wait for, and no stand to persuade first.
- 2
Name It
The usual. Afternoon one. Whatever you call it in your head. Keep several and pick between them, because Tuesday is not always Saturday.
- 3
Show Your Code
Tap the one you are having and your code fills the screen. It is yours and it stays the same, so it works on a printed sticker or the back of your phone just as well.
- 4
They Scan It and Read It
Any camera, no app, no account, nothing installed at the stand. Your order comes up in full on their screen and they ring it up the way they always do.
- 5
Talk About Anything Else
The ordering part finished before either of you spoke. Nobody read anything back, nobody got it wrong, and the queue kept moving.
Fair Questions
- What if my stand has never heard of MyDrank?
- That is the normal case, and it still works. Your code opens a plain web page with your order written out on it. Nobody at the stand needs an account, an app, or a conversation with us first.
- What does it cost me?
- Nothing today. Once 250 stands are live, customers pay $3.00 a month, and 0 stands are live right now. There is no fee per order at any price. We would rather tell you the plan than spring it on you later.
- Can anyone who sees my code read my life?
- They see one order and your first name. Not your other saved orders, not where else you go, not your email. The link is 22 random characters, so it cannot be guessed, and Replace This Code retires every copy of the old one at once.
- Do I pay through the app?
- No. MyDrank carries the order, not the money. You pay the stand exactly as you do now, which keeps us away from your card details entirely.
- Does it track where I am?
- No. MyDrank stores no location at all. At a connected stand you can press Am I close, and even then the distance is worked out in your browser and the answer never leaves your device.
- What changes if my stand does connect?
- Your order arrives priced against their own menu instead of read off a page, they can mark something sold out before you drive up, and it lands on their board when you send it from your wallet.
