The idea

Small lawn and landscaping crews visit the same houses every week in a messy order. Mow Route sorts the day into an efficient driving order on a map and lets the crew text each customer when they are on the way. Owners see which stops were done.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Mow Route. Start with an owner login and a Customers page with name, address, phone, service day, service type, price and gate notes. Geocode each address with Google Maps and show all customers on a map.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Add a Day Plan screen: pick a weekday, load that day of customers, and order them by shortest driving route using the Google Maps directions API with waypoint optimization. Show the ordered list with drive times, and let the owner drag to reorder.
