Boobadoo BBQ

The problem

Boobadoo smokes brisket on Saturdays until it's gone. Orders were arriving by Facebook comment, text message and phone call — and a sell-out day meant disappointing people who drove out. The owner needed pre-orders in one place, without paying a third-party platform a cut of every ticket.

The approach

We started simple: a fast, appetite-first site with a tabbed menu and order forms that piped straight into a Google Sheet the owner already knew how to read. Once that proved itself, we rebuilt it as a proper ordering platform — the menu became live data, the cart became real, and the owner got a dashboard.

What got built

• Live menu — the owner updates a single sheet and the site follows, including sold-out states so nobody orders what's gone.
• Cart and pickup scheduling — pick items, choose a pickup date and time, add special requests, see a running total. No payment online; pay at pickup, exactly how they run it.
• Instant order alerts — every order emails the owner with confirm and decline buttons built into the email.
• Owner dashboard behind a magic-link login: incoming orders, order history, and menu control.
• Find-us section for a business that moves around, plus a live Facebook feed for weekly menus and sold-out alerts.

The result

Pre-orders now arrive in one place instead of five, and the owner can turn ordering on and off around a sell-out day without touching code.

“Man... I owe you.. at least a free dinner or lunch for you & the fam. People love the site. Consistently higher pre orders. It's been just a great help overall.”
