menuml -restaurant menu xml prototype app

["Sharma, Dhruv" <Dhruv.Sharma@PenFed.org>]

Hi,

    This posting is about an XML menu application I designed for my parents restaurant years ago.

    The word document describes the design and the zip file contains the XML, and stylesheet to convert menu ml into PDF, HTML, and a JavaScript calculator.

 

    The idea is that even small restaurants can cheaply use XML to manage their menus and be able to seamlessly convert them into multiple formats.

 

    The design of menu ml is simple and could be used to develop a standard for restaurants to use help streamline operations.

 

    The calculator which can be generated from the menu in XML is handy as if waiters, used Personal digital assistants (pdas), they can take orders without having to mess up orders via handwriting and also the price is added in automatically by the calculator leading to more accurate order processing and operations.

 

    This should help anyone in need of XML for menu to do restaurant applications.  The code (XML,xslt, dtd) is all in the zip and easy to follow and change.

 

    There is not much on xml and restaurants so hopefully this will fill a niche or help others who wanted to do the same thing.

 

best

Dhruv
