mobile lunch ordering system

Page history last edited by Anonymous 2 yrs ago
  • Purpose: simple mobile lunch ordering system:
  • Concept:  simply text a specific email address (of the restaurant) with the subject
 line "menu" and get that day's special lunch items sent to your mobile phone 
 for you to choose and order.
  • How it works:
  1. email the address of the restaurant (yjp364@gmail.com) with "menu" as subject
  2. it is received by gmail - popper.pl - will run periodically (cronjob or other)
  3. when the $file2send variable see that there is "menu" in the subject it will
reply to the "from" address with the pictures and captions of the days specials
  4. Multiple menu items (pictures & prices) is received (3 items = 3 emails) you 
simply reply back with the email that has the choice menu items with instructions
(either delivery or pickup etc..) needed to fulfill the order.
  5. When the menu is received the resturaunt they can then fulfill the order for
pickup or delivery.
  6. The person ordering for the first time needs to provide address/credit card 
 information, however if you have ordered before the phone number of your
cell phone should be in the database with all information necessary to fulfill 
 the order.

-- Extra programming will be required using PHP and cronjob.
