This is an old interview with GrubHub founder on mixergy but it's right up your alley with OrderHappy. He talks about what he did initially.

Selling to restaurants is super hard.

Thanks for the links, the interview was really interesting and enlightened me a bit more about how much work there is to do

This might just be your first go at it. A semi-successful university project that you unplug and move on to your next idea that is in a better market. Or you might be able to make it work. Restaurants are an interesting space, but really hard. Don't be too married to this idea though.

I 100% get what you mean. That's why I've tried to market Order Happy at all businesses that are selling products such as clothing stores or DIY stores ect. but I'm struggling at selling that point. Who knows though in the future it may not even be an ordering system!
