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-nowCommon location coordinates for Ireland:
- Drogheda: 53.7179, -6.3561
- Dublin City: 53.3498, -6.2603
- Cork: 51.8985, -8.4756
- Galway: 53.2707, -9.0568
Step 2: Get Deliveroo Menu (Browser Automation)
- Start browser and navigate to Deliveroo:
browser action=start target=host
browser action=navigate targetUrl="https://deliveroo.ie/" target=host- Accept cookies if prompted (look for "Accept all" button)
- Enter location in address search box:
browser action=act request={"kind": "type", "ref": "<textbox-ref>", "text": "Drogheda, Co. Louth"}- Select location from autocomplete dropdown
- Find and click on restaurant from list
- 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:
- Name: In paragraph element
- Description: In text content
- Price: Usually "€X.XX" format
- Allergens: Listed after description (Gluten, Milk, etc.)
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=hostSimilar flow: enter postcode/address → browse restaurants → click for menu
Tips
