Last week I started working as a waitress in a restaurant in Belgrade.
Yes, really. My dev journey is less than a year old, and while my products are growing, I'm not quite at "quit everything" revenue yet — so I waitress. No shame in that.
The weekend was tough. Busy service, a language I speak but isn't my own, and a few mixed-up orders that created unnecessary stress. So I asked my boss if I could use my phone to write orders down.
He said yes.
Two days later, FlowServe was born.
FlowServe is an offline Android app for restaurant staff — real-time table management, live order tracking, cash and card payments with automatic change calculation, register reconciliation, and daily reports. I also built a Windows desktop customizer that lets any hospitality business rebrand the app, update their menu and dining areas, and generate a signed APK — no code required.
I showed it to my colleague. She asked me to share it immediately.
Last night it was tested in a live service environment. She liked it so much she left me a 5-star Google review, told a restaurant owner who stopped by, and shared it with other waitress friends.
Now I'm being asked about integrating it directly with the POS system.
This is why I build. Not because I have perfect conditions. But because I see a problem and I can't help but solve it.
If you work in hospitality or know someone who does — FlowServe is coming soon. 👇
