Suggestion for the Phone / Business WebApps

​Hey everyone,

​I wanted to throw an idea out there regarding how businesses are handled on the phone. Right now, the "RP to find out" meta is cool for a lot of things, but I think it’s actually holding back some of the newer players when it comes to the economy.

​I’d love to see a section on the mobile webapp where player-owned businesses can post their menus or service prices.

​Why I think we need this:

Walking into a shop or a mechanic totally blind is actually pretty stressful for someone new to the city. If you’ve only got a few hundred bucks and you walk into a place where the cheapest thing is $1k, it’s awkward and usually just results in people walking right back out.

​If we had basic websites for shops (like restaurants, mechanics, etc.) where you could check prices or see what’s in stock, it would:

• ​Help people actually budget their money.

• ​Give people a reason to head to specific spots because they "saw a deal online."

• ​Make the city feel way more modern and lived-in.

​In real life, we check our phones for everything before we leave the house. Having that info on the in-game phone would actually help start more scenes rather than killing them, because people would show up knowing exactly what they’re looking for.

​Just a thought to help bridge the gap for new citizens and get more traffic to the player-run shops!

P.S. Sorry if the formatting is a bit specific; I used an AI tool to help clean up my notes since I’m dyslexic and wanted to make sure it made sense!
