My app is customer facing and the free text form is used by them to submit orders…however I’ve had feedback that they’d like to start their order and then browse the rest of the app before further adding to their order…any suggestions?

[app.timbrownsbutchers.com](http://app.timbrownsbutchers.com) - see ‘place an order’ and then ‘order for delivery’

Thanks  
Luke

Hi, I **wonder** if there is something to think about with a simple screen (instead of a form), with entry fields (user specific?) and a compound action “add row” only when the user clic on a “purchase” button.  
This screen could include inline list of the other products to see other products;
