Operations
The crew app that works in the basement of the venue.
Installable Progressive Web App with offline fallback, service worker caching, and VAPID-based push notifications. Works in Chrome, Safari, any Android browser.
What it does
Installable from browser
Tap "Install Caterforia" on iOS Safari or Chrome Android. Home-screen icon, splash screen, standalone frame.
Offline fallback
Service worker cached. No signal = you get the cached page with a friendly "we’ll sync when you’re back" note.
Web push notifications
VAPID-signed. Auto-revoke on repeated delivery failure. Works on desktop + Android; iOS 16.4+ when installed to home screen.
Role-scoped home screens
Driver sees their route. Ops sees today’s events. Chef sees prep tasks. Not one-screen-fits-all.
Stale-while-revalidate assets
Static assets cache stale and refresh in background. Pages load instantly on reopen.
