Taystee Grill is a Mediterranean restaurant featuring burgers, traditional Lebanese foods and excellent salads. The website was designed by an outside agency, but based on a word-of-mouth referral, JEM Software was tapped to provide the online ordering component.
Junkees is a new restaurant located on Erie Street. It features a beautiful ambiance, outdoor patio and eclectic menu. JEM Software was hired by the website’s designer to integrate our online-ordering app into the website. The project scope was expanded when the restaurant owner decided to make changes to the menu and pricing, and I was asked not only to provide the online ordering app, but also update the menu page on the website itself (as a sub-contractor).
This is not the first time JEM Software has performed work as a subcontractor for another firm, but it is the first time we’ve been able to claim some credit for the finished product.
During my late ’20s, I served for a few years in a reserve unit of the Royal Canadian Artillery. I loved the camaraderie, the discipline and training, and yes, getting to fire those big-ass cannons. The connections I made back then stuck with me, and I always had a soft spot for the Armed Forces. Back in the fall of 2019, I was reading in their newsletter that they were looking for volunteers to help them maintain their website. Not only was I willing to help, but when I first looked at their site, I saw lots of opportunities for improvement and I wanted to get involved in a big way. More than 40 years after leaving the forces, I’ve become one of the most active volunteers in their organization.
