The Pizza Button helps you order dinner. (Or lunch, or late-night snacks)
By focusing on making it very easy to order pizza, we want to give partygoers and busy families alike a straightforward way to get fed.
Our app in the app store currently sits on top of 1,400 restaurants, across 200+ cities, but we need your help to analyze and organize the data we pull from a 3rd party API. This API (hackfood.ordr.in) was built to support all types of restaurants, not just pizzas, and the structure of their data reflects this. It’s tremendously flexible. However, that also means that the restaurant owners entering this data by hand find ways to enter the data in slightly different, yet all equally sensible, ways.
We need to standardize this data into a common format that we serve to the iOS client and display to the user. That’s where we need your help!
=========
- Here is a description of the few different ways I’ve seen people using the API to describe their pizzas: data.docs.google.com/a/thepizzabutton.com/document/d/1KeSz3U5DfpE9e23szcislet7SaUU5NQZ88TkGdRtjR8/edit
- Here’s a sample of that data: https://cl.ly/404restaurantssample.json
- Here’s how we want it represented: docs.google.com/a/thepizzabutton.com/document/d/1cnmHtep811MKT84SbvBUKQptlBiqmbi4YmEdk4_lr9Q/edit
Do you have what it takes to write this parser?
YOU: Bring Ruby or Javascript programming, with a clever mind for patterns.
WE: Give you a pizza budget to feed yourself, coach you on the technical and business/logistic challenges in launching and marketing your own mobile app and generally have fun.
Let’s do this!
