• or we can just add the images but make it searchable
  • con: we don’t have all the pictures…

Overview

Add all of the items found on menus of CMU dining locations into a table and display them on the side panel of each eatery card. The search results will also display menu items along with eatery cards allowing a user to search for specific food items.

Table v1

• internal id - primary key
• location id (which location offers this item? - use cmueats dining api location id)
• name
• category - entree, side, extras, build your own
  • category name string + description string in json??
  • build your own category will have a formatted string of the options as a description
    • I don’t think we should add each build your own option as an item otherwise the searching will get cluttered (you’ll have like 5 items that are just “Cheese”)
  • entree, side, and extras category have no description string
• price?

Things to add after initial version

• dietary restrictions (is this item compliant with any restrictions) - vegetarian, halal, kosher
  • requires flagging individual items so I want to do this after the menus are rolled out and check with the nutrition people
