Favor App Review

Favor App, see? Ignore the rest on my IPAD

Hey,
How's going? I've been relaxing and napping. It's rough let me tell you. LOL

So I was getting hungry, doing all that napping...so I thought I would give Favor a try. I have seen people post pictures on instagram so I thought, why not? They all seemed happy with the service and it appeared to be safe, no headache and importantly quick.

I downloaded the app sometime ago, hopping it would work as I traveled and I think it will. :D

The Details in the App

To get you going...but if it's in the map area they will fetch it!

See there is a "Eat Out in Austin" that does the same thing (but no app, that I know of) but 1 cafe I love (not this one, ok) only take orders of $100.00USD or more through the service! WTF?? I'm hungry but give me a break. I did use this app to fetch food from that cafe (Ok, it's Mother's Cafe & Garden, there I said it.) and it worked just fine. :D and I did not spend $100.00!

This was my second attempt - this time tacos.
I found a venue that I know is good, found menu on line, highlighted what I wanted and copied my order in the request section of the app.

App screen after I copied my request.

I texted that I was in a hotel & told him where to park. He responded quickly and asked me a question about my order. Cool.
After he picked up the item, in my case tacos, the receipt is shown and you press the "pay" button. There is a suggested tip too. I try to give the guys cash, because everyone can use cash NOW. But you can also put it on your card. Easy Peasy -

And this shows in the app!

And a printed copy too. See I bought Dylan a Shrimp taco and 1 vegan & I got 2 for me plus drinks. It is kinda pricey, BUT I didn't have to haul myself out in the heat, fight traffic and repeat just for some tacos. So it was WELL WORTH it for us.

The food was very good too.
