They may want to praise a menu item but have constructive criticism for the facility and/or service. - We need some creative and non-intrusive way to ensure that only verified purchases can leave feedback. Maybe somehow print a QR code with a one-time use link on the customer's receipt. This would have to be somehow embedded into the POS system which is probably not going to happen. Alternatively we could allow the business owner to print a stack of unique one-time use QR codes that he/she simply hands customers along with their receipt.  **Online Order Management** - Can opt-in to take orders online based on menu & prices - $5.00 per order fee on top of Stripe fees - Order button can optionally link to existing order page on some other site - Order button will take you to the businesses virtual storefront for order placement and payment - Can see full menu, prices, recommendations, macros, calories, glycemic index **Localized "Best of" competitions based on recommendations of categories of menu items** - Best Mac & Cheese in Atlanta type of queries - Best Vegan Burger in Nashville, TN - etc. We can use menu items that match the search criteria along with their review count and location to determine what the "best" is **AI assisted search** - I want salmon with veggie sides around 800 calories with a glycemic index below 55 - I want a vegan meal around 500 calories with at least 25g of plant based protein **Integration with OpenTable for reservations? **[https://www.opentable.com/restaurant-solutions/api-partners/](https://www.opentable.com/restaurant-solutions/api-partners/)   **Pricing** - $50/month for menu and listings management - $5.00/order online OR ... we could do ala cart pricing on top of a "base" price - $50/month for an online menu, being included in the directory for search results, location management - $10/month for Business Listings Management AND verification....where we periodically fetch & verify directory information from the various directories and compare it with the listings management details and we sync up anything that is inaccurate.  - $5/month for Feedback Management, giving them the ability to interact with paying customers for feedback - $5/per order for online ordering (can be enabled or disabled in their account profile) - $5/month for Integration with OpenTable for taking reservations #### Misc TODO - [ ] Compare with features of https://eat-direct.co.uk/ and see if there is any crossover that we might benefit from - [ ] Daily specials should have a way of showing up and getting highlighted.
