lunch_helper

Usage:

1. Run ui.pyw

4. Order lunch
5. Eat and live happily

Requirements:

• Python 2.7
• Tkinter (usually comes built-in, otherwise install from pip)

Motivation:

The story that happens over and over
Person A: “What are you ordering today?”
Person B: “What do you want?”
Person A: “Don't know, what do you want?”
Person C: “What are you guys ordering?”
Person A: “Open a list of options, let's see what's available”

Person B opens a list with hundreds of places

Person B: “What about X?”
Person D: “Doesn't have anything I'll order.”
Person A: “We haven't ordered from Y for some time.”
Person C: “Nah”

Later that day

Person A to Person E: So where are you ordering today? I'm really getting hungry.”
Person E: “I ordered from Z with Person B.”
Person A: “Oh, I would have joined.”
Person E: “Didn't know you liked that place.”
So the need arises to have a clean and simple DB that narrows down the lists and let you cross references what any group of people can agree on or who else might enjoy a certain place you order from.
