NotGonnaArrive: The Restaurant That Never Delivers
An interactive parody food hall where visitors fill a cart with elaborate global dishes, check out for $0.00, and wait for a delivery that will never come.
Field notes
The homepage models a food-delivery marketplace with cuisine and dietary filters, dish ratings, preparation times, recipes, a cart, and a simulated checkout. Its 24-item menu covers eight cuisines, while the interface records imaginary savings and awards dopamine points for actions such as adding a dish or switching filters. The site also presents streaks, badges, prank calls, parody receipts, and a Hall of Shame, making the fake transaction feel more like a small game than a static joke.
