Fast Food Site for Restaurant Chain with multiple locations

[BlindingLight]

Hello Everybody,

 

I am familiar with OsCommerce, however, I have a dilemma. I need to set up a Fast Food website for this Restaurant chain. They have about 4 Restaurants. The website will have everything they have on their menu. The visitor would have to go online, pick their neighborhood restaurant and place the order. The problem is that since there are 4 restaurants, how can I send the order to the correct Restaurant. Each restaurant would have a different e-mail address. Does somebody have any idea how to do this? :blink:

 

 

Another question... this is easier.

Some items in their menu consist of a meat along with three side choices. How would you set this up? As a product attribute?

 

 

Thank you very much for your attention,

 

Mr. Blinding Light :P

Why dont you link the location to a seperate site made for each individial location? Each one would probally need there own admin to check out the orders anyway, and try using product option type features for the choices.

Thanks for the reply!

I actually thought about that but then the site will end up being very messy. We would need 4 domain names and 4 hosting plans. This also means a change menu will imply tracking 4 different but identical sites.

I have the same thing working for a bakery chain right now - I changed the Flat Shipping module to reflect each individual store and modified it to send an extra confirmation to the individual email address that goes with the store. If you do it that way and figure out how to specify a pickup time and date, let me know since I'm stuck on that one ...

Hello,

It sounds interesting. I think what you are saying is that you are kind of rigging the Shipping Method by making it a selection for Pickup Location. Am I correct? I would have to go to the Shipping settings to try to figure out what you are saying. I also wonder if you have actually done this so far or you are just brainstorming... I'll keep in mind about the time and date once I figure out the "Flat Shipping" change first.

 

I am still trying to figure out how I can I make OSCommerce decide which location to e-mail the order once the User has made a location selection.

 

Thanks for replying!

Why not have a obligatory restaurant dropdown following clicking checkout which sets the restaurant_id in $_SESSION.

 

Then in checkout success where you find ..

 

  tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

 

Something like

 

$restaurant_email = array (
					  '1' => '[email protected]',
					  '2' => '[email protected]',
					  '3' => '[email protected]',
					  '4' => '[email protected]');
if ( tep_session_is registered('restaurant_id') )
 tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, $restaurant_email[$_SESSION['restaurant_id']]);
 else   tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

Yes, I have a mod working with 4 pickup locations - again, my problem is the date and time more than anything else. You essentially duplicating the same module 4 times, but at the time I couldn't think of anything better, especially since 4 options under the same Pickup module kept defaulting to the first option - I have more gray hair from that one ... never mind ...

Interesting I will definitely try this.

Hello,

I am not a hardcore coder >_< but I made my attempt to make this code work.

I opened up checkout_process.php and replaced the following code with the one provided:

 

tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

if (SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO != '') {
tep_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
}

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/.hoover/edmista/edmista.com/catalog/checkout_process.php on line 278

This was for guidance and suggestion only, I try to help but this does not stretch to writing bespoke full scripts, sorry.

:lol: That's okay! I think you did point to the right direction! I will try to get someone more knowledgeable in PHP to look at this and I'll post it back here.

Thanks!
