Do you constantly have to ask the same people how they take their tea or coffee? With Cuppa-Time, you will only ever need to ask them once.

It is no longer necessary to ask the same people over and over which beverage they prefer to drink and how they take it, doing away with those hastily written lists on scraps of paper. Some examples of where Cuppa-Time can be used are at the office, family get-togethers, when unexpected guests drop in, events and functions, or any other gathering.

Amaze and delight everyone when you magically bring them their tea or coffee just the way they like it - especially when they havent seen you in ages!

In addition to being able to record their name and preferences, a "Special Request" option is included and is especially useful for when people have difficult to remember requests such as "Extra hot", "Half cold water", "Weak", "Strong" or "Add milk first".

Preferences are chosen using a quick and easy step-driven selection process starting with whether the person wants tea or coffee.
Each step is progressively made based on the previous selection until all the required information is gathered.

An easy step-driven selection process:
Step 1. Enter the persons name and any optional Special Requests.
Step 2. Choose from Tea or Coffee.
Step 3. Choose from White or Black. If you chose White, then goto Step 4. If you chose Black, skip to Step 5.
Step 4. Choose from Full Cream or Low Fat milk.
Step 5. Choose from Sugar, Sweetener or No Sugar.
Step 6. If you chose Sugar or Sweetener, continue to Step 7. If you chose No Sugar, you are Done!
Step 7. Choose how many Sugars or Sweeteners from 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 2 or 3, and you are Done!

If you want to go back a step without starting again, just redo the previous step and you will be presented with all the choices again.

Cuppa-Time displays peoples preferences on what is called the Master List, using easily recognisable images to represent these choices. Each person from the Master List can be selected individually to be added to a custom-made list called the Order. To quickly select or deselect large amounts of people, "Select All" and "Deselect All" buttons are provided. The Order is a read-only list containing the preferences of only those people selected from the Master List. At the bottom of the Order screen is the total number of teas and coffees required and also the total number of cups.

Features:
• iOS 4 multi-tasking is available for supported devices.
• Special Requests can be entered in the Preferences screen and are shown along-side each persons name on the Master List and Order screen.
• Easily identifiable images of how each person takes their tea or coffee.
• A Reset Preferences button for starting over.
• Did they just change their mind while giving you their order? Just redo the previous step and you can choose again.
