Start Snackbot for food orders

Now you know where people want their food to come from, somebody has to actually order the food and keep track of who wants what. This may sound like a daunting task, but with the right tools, it’s easy!

If we cannot find a volunteer, we will use a randomizer to find a victim volunteer. There are several different online randomizers, but something like https://wheelofnames.com/ will usually work. Just enter the names of everyone you see in the office, and see who’s the (un)lucky one!

Now it’s time for our lucky volunteer to start the order.

To allow all your lovely co-workers to order food, we make use of Snackbot.

Snackbot is a clever little bot, a little too clever for its own good, but we’ll get to that!

To start the order, simply tell Snackbot what restaurant we’re going to order from:

@Snackbot start

You’ll get a small notification asking what restaurant you want to order from, or if you’d like to add a new restaurant:

Or, just add the restaurant name to the start command:

<aside> 👉 Make sure to notify everyone of the order starting again, by using @here!
