Site Information

Browser Automation Flow

  1. Landing: Navigate to home URL, click month button (e.g., "JAN: PRESCHOOL")
  2. Builder: Use Previous/Next Day arrows; select "Daily Feature - (PS)" under Combos
  3. Quick Pick: Click star icon in Review Selections panel to order multiple days at once
    • If coordinate click fails: document.querySelector('.fa-star').click()
  4. Checkout: Click "Add and Go To Cart" then "CHECKOUT"
    • Stop at payment - user enters payment details

Workflow

1. Menu Analysis

When user shares a menu (PDF, screenshot, browser, photo, or verbally):

  1. Identify meals to skip based on preferences
  2. Highlight recommended meals
  3. Flag new items that might contain rice
  4. Note when favorite items appear

Proactively warn about rice-based meals - this is the primary constraint.

Output as a full-month table showing every school day with action (ORDER/PACK/CLOSED) and menu item:

| Date | Day | Action | Menu Item |
|------|-----|--------|-----------|
| Dec 1 | Mon | ORDER | Mac 'n Cheese |
| Dec 2 | Tue | PACK | Rice dish (avoid) |
| Dec 3 | Wed | CLOSED | Holiday |

This format makes it easy to order and audit the full month at a glance.

2. Order Processing

After order placement, extract from confirmation (any format):

  • Order month and year
  • List of dates food was ordered

3. Generate Calendar File

Once you have ordered dates:

  1. Calculate skipped days = School days (Mon-Fri, excluding holidays) - Ordered days
  2. Generate calendar reminders: 
    python scripts/generate_ics.py -m [MONTH] -y [YEAR] -d [SKIPPED_DAYS] --child-name "[NAME]"
open pack-lunch-[month]-[year].ics

Creates "Pack [Name]'s Lunch" events for each skipped day.

Notes

  • Timezone: America/New_York
  • Exclude major holidays (Thanksgiving, July 4, MLK Day, etc.)
