Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Retail stores are chronically understaffed, causing long checkout lines, missed backup calls, and staff unable to manage multiple tasks.

In their words

I called for back up but my assistant manager said that the manager was in a meeting.

Why those fall short

  • app is a replacement for staff, not a helper; tools taken away, zero communication
  • calls get ignored and no one confirms or responds
  • no dedicated or consistent checkout process for Spark drivers
  • no limit or timer on customer item additions; no heavy pay added
