Jessica paid James $75 per month to improve the system.<\/p>\n<p>Seeking inspiration, James and his dad visited the Chick-fil-A\u00ae Support Center in Atlanta, GA. While on a tour they met two software engineers who encouraged James to continue. However, James was stuck. He had one paying customer but didn\u2019t know how to start or grow a business and was leaving on a service mission for his church in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>James was then introduced him to Michael Alvarez, a successful entrepreneur and mobile apps pioneer, including being the first to launch a national restaurant search app named \u201cMunch.\u201d Michael quickly published a website and organized a webinar. When leaders of 50 restaurants attended, Michael recognized that there was a need and this concept deserved further testing.<\/p>\n<p>A year later when James completed his mission, he returned home to a thriving business serving over 80 Chick-fil-A\u00ae restaurants under Michael\u2019s direction as CEO and Jan Finlinson as CTO.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the value OneClickApp&#x2122; has provided Chick-fil-A\u00ae Operators is estimated at over $35 Million by increasing employee retention, communication, and efficiencies.
