We’ve been working hard on getting our first three online stores up and ready to go. Uploading item images. Collecting item descriptions. Not to mention fine-tuning all the moving parts of a cloud-based POS system. We’ve got a cart using AJAX and jQuery, so whenever you add a new item to your cart, it doesn’t have to reload the entire page. We’ve got built in smart-cart logic, so if a customer buys the last of an item, that item will automatically remove itself from the online store. In a nutshell, it’s really cool, and I can’t wait to show you our online ordering system.
Our first three customers to go live will be:
Elevation Burger – a DC-based burger chain with an emphasis on grass-fed organic beef and sustainability,
O’Suzannah – a funky, gift boutique just off the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, VA, which sells things like jewelry, ceramics, wallets, baby goods, candles, and tons of paper good, and
Eppie’s – a fast-casual restaurant on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville.
These carts will go live in the next couple of weeks. We’ll announce it here on the blog, as well as on the orderTopia website.
