A restaurant menu

Was this information Helpful?

This post together with the dynamic product kit post describes the features I would love to see for a restaurant website.

A restaurant website usually presents a form(menu) with different sections(courses) and attributes(portions).

The ultimate user and administrator experience will be achived if it will be possible to:

- Build the menu once and use taxonomy terms to populate the different sections. For example, when the admin creates a dish "Chicken" he'll add a taxonomy term "main dish" to it. When he'll want to put it on the menu he'll add a taxonomy term "Sunday" for example. The webform module could be usefull for the menu and uBrowser could be useful for easy and fast manipulation of products's taxonomy terms.

- present the cart and the menu a side by side and use ajax to populate the cart.

Hello! I just installed

Hello!

I just installed Drupal and Ubercart after installing and uninstalling several other cart scripts.

So far I'm liking ubercart.

A restaurant menu is exactly what I was thinking about using the cart for.

Is there any progress on this?

I'm really in need of checkboxes and a kind of "quick" checkout option for a carry out order site.

What I noticed is that when you review your cart and the checkboxes are presented so you can remove items... is exactly how I'd like the menu set up.

For example:

checkbox item1 (pizza) price
----radio button1 (extra cheese +$1.00)
----radio button1 (mushrooms +.75)
checkbox item2 (breadsticks) price
----radio button1 (ranch dip +.50)
checkbox item3 (hot wings) price
checkbox item4 (2 liter cola) price
checkbox item5 (side salad)price
checkbox item6 (half rack ribs)price

Add to cart

once added... goes to checkout.

No?

Is there an example I can look at?

Hi,

I'm new to Ubercart & Drupal. I thought creating a shopping cart for restaurant would be a good place to start for me. Can someone show me a demo and step-by-step in creating the site?

Thank you
