## How Resquash Works

Shopping local has never been this straightforward. Resquash distills the entire experience into three simple steps — from discovery to delivery.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find">
    Open Resquash and browse businesses near you. Filter by category — Home Services, Food & Beverage, or Lifestyle & Gifts — to surface exactly what you need. Every listing shows real-time availability, photos, and merchant details so you can make an informed choice before you ever reach out.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask">
    Tap any business to open a direct chat with the merchant. Ask about availability, pricing, customization options, or anything else on your mind. Merchants respond in real time, giving you the confidence of a face-to-face conversation from the comfort of your phone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buy">
    Once you're ready, complete your purchase right inside the conversation — no switching apps, no external checkouts. Resquash handles payment securely so you can focus on enjoying what your local community has to offer.
