Greetings,

I am currently working on designing a new application using PowerApps that would make it easier for our accountants to keep track of users ordering food;

Currently we have a running Excel spreadsheet that we manually add in users and a few macros set up so that the table adds a +1 to where it is supposed to (*user* adds *cold/warm/snack* to spreadsheet that adds *value*) and at the end of the month it creates a new list to again work.

What I am trying to do is simplify and better the process in multiple ways;

First of all all the employees are automatically added into our database (sharepoint) so we won't have to manually add them anymore, secondly the app could actually (FINALLY) send alerts to your email for when you selected yourself to eat (yeah, don't ask how many problems this has caused) and considering we use MS services for so many things powerapps seems like a great solution.

Now the problem is; How?

We have a touchscreen display where the users select a letter and it shows them the names of people with that first letter and they select themselves, I would keep this solution in Power Apps aswell because ... keyboards and lunch don't mix well.

And secondly, has anyone ever done this before? Just looking for a bit of an overview or template to know what I have gotten myself into.

All best,
