# Irish Takeaway Finder 🍕🇮🇪

Find nearby takeaways and get their menus from Deliveroo or Just Eat.

Prerequisites

Workflow

Step 1: Find Nearby Takeaways

Use goplaces to search for restaurants near a location:

# Search by coordinates (negative longitude needs = syntax)
goplaces search "takeaway" --lat=53.7179 --lng=-6.3561 --radius-m=3000 --limit=10

# Search by cuisine
goplaces search "chinese takeaway" --lat=53.7179 --lng=-6.3561 --radius-m=2000

# Filter by rating
goplaces search "pizza" --lat=53.7179 --lng=-6.3561 --min-rating=4 --open-now

Common location coordinates for Ireland:

Step 2: Get Deliveroo Menu (Browser Automation)

1. Start browser and navigate to Deliveroo:

browser action=start target=host
browser action=navigate targetUrl="https://deliveroo.ie/" target=host

2. Accept cookies if prompted (look for "Accept all" button)

3. Enter location in address search box:

browser action=act request={"kind": "type", "ref": "<textbox-ref>", "text": "Drogheda, Co. Louth"}

4. Select location from autocomplete dropdown

5. Find and click on restaurant from list

6. Take snapshot to extract menu items - look for:

- Category headings (h2)

- Item buttons with name, description, price

- Allergen info in item descriptions

Step 3: Parse Menu Data

Menu items typically appear as buttons with structure:

Example Conversation Flow

User: "What takeaways are near me in Drogheda?"

→ Run goplaces search, present top 5-10 results with ratings

User: "Show me the menu for Mizzoni's"

→ Browser to Deliveroo → search → click restaurant → snapshot → parse menu

User: "What pizzas do they have?"

→ Filter menu items by category, present pizza options with prices

Just Eat Alternative

If restaurant not on Deliveroo, try Just Eat:

browser action=navigate targetUrl="https://www.just-eat.ie/" target=host

Similar flow: enter postcode/address → browse restaurants → click for menu
