Repository files navigation

As of 2022-07-06, I have no intention to bring this project back to the limelight. I designed Bring Back Buffets to address buffet closures dring Covid closures in early 2021. This was before vaccines were available. Though the codebase was complete enough to work somewhere between a development and a production environment, I was not successful in advertising to buffet owners.

Let's "Bring Buffets Back to Business" with an in-house mobile ordering solution!

  1. Customer(s) request a table and pay up-front.
  2. Cashier hands receipt to customers(s) with an order code and table number.
  3. Customer(s) place their buffet orders on their mobile devices.
  4. A server will make the requested order and bring it to the table.

Files to Configure

./tble.csv

The program automatically determines how many tables to have the system manage. The tble column shows what to name each table for the cashier's view. The code field contains the unique access code for each table and should be entered by the customer. The time field shows a Unix timestamp for when that table was released.

./menu.csv

The name column is the name of each food item as viewed by the customer. The shortname field is shown in the expedite page and shouldn't be more than 8 characters long. The limit field, if not left blank, dictates an upper limit to the number of servings customers can request per visit to the customer page.
