etc

We need expand the project functionality. Ideas to consider: 1) need to include a DB of the menu items. 2) automatically update the menu boards when restaurants change menus or have specials. Write an side application that weekly checks each restaurants website for changes and specials and then integrate them into the existing menu Board. 3) "Specials" section of website that provides the user with a list of current specials of the day or week. 3a) Ask the restaurant owners to send you an email week or (?) with specials and changes to menu. Automatically take the email and parse it to the website. 4) SEARCH. Tell me where I can get ??? like burger or spiedies.. best spedies...

• I am working the search line to make it better. When the user enter not only the restaurants name but also the products name which are like "hamburger" or "pizza", search line will give the clients many different products and companies button to click and go that page.
• about the google map; to make users find the location of restaurants easily, I did click on the map option that when you click on it connects you to directly to google map page or if you use smart phone it connects you to "google map" app with the address of restaurant to use your own gps app.
• I am still working on the "order page" design and visuality as me and professor Merwyn Jones talked.
• Gantt Chart will be updated this week.(after Wednesday(2/17/16))
• I am working on also the pop-up commercial videos and picture to add the website.

I worked on SEARCH food possibilities. The search is currently limited to the text in the title image. I need to expand that search to the rest of the menu for each restaurant. Researched how to put "commercials" or sales opportunities in the banner of the site. More to follow on that. Next week continue to identify a search solution, research "commercials" into site,  and still need to determine how to keep the menus updated automatically.

1) I finished working on the search line. There is one option to search hot words like "hamburger or pizza" that I need to use these kind of words in the 2.head line of menus.

2)To do order page what I want to create I can change the template that I am using right now. I am going to search and think about it next week.

3) I sent a mail to squarespace company about the using external database that I will create but they didn't response me yet.

4) I am still working into site " pop-up Commercials". It took more time that I thought and wrote into the gantt chart because there is a problem about javascript integration.
