Are the buyer names and timestamps shown in the recent-sales popup real?
Only the meal name and photo are real, pulled from your 20 most recently sold meal items. The buyer's name and the "time ago" shown are both made up, on purpose, to protect customer privacy:
- The name is picked at random from a fixed built-in list of common first names, then partially hidden (keeping just the first and last letter, with asterisks in between) — it has no connection to who actually bought the meal.
- The "time ago" (e.g. "5 minutes ago") is a random number between 0 and 59 minutes, generated in the browser — not the item's real order time.
In short: a real recent meal is shown with a fake buyer identity and a fake timestamp, purely for the social-proof effect. No real customer names, order details, or exact times are ever shown to storefront visitors.
