Verified steps

  1. Design a subscription data model: track each subscriber's active plan (e.g., meal credits per month), credit balance, and preferred restaurant locations or cuisine preferences
  2. Integrate with a restaurant ordering API (such as Olo) to programmatically place orders on behalf of subscribers when they redeem a daily credit; use service-account or delegated-user authentication appropriate for the platform
  3. Build a daily reservation flow: at a defined time each morning, allow subscribers to browse available meals for the day and reserve a pickup slot; hold the slot using the ordering API's basket or future-order mechanism
  4. Commit the order close to the pickup time using the ordering API's order submit endpoint; pass any required payment token representing the pre-paid subscription credit
  5. Handle edge cases: subscriber no-shows (credit consumed but order abandoned), restaurant menu changes after reservation, and same-day order cancellations within the platform's cancellation window
  6. Implement a credit reconciliation job to ensure subscriber balances, order records, and restaurant payment records stay in sync; generate monthly statements for subscribers and settlement reports for restaurant partners
