Irish Takeaway Finder 🍕🇮🇪

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

Prerequisites

• goplaces CLI installed (brew install steipete/tap/goplaces)
• GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY environment variable set
• Browser tool available

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:

• 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)

1. Start browser and navigate to Deliveroo:

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

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

1. Enter location in address search box:

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

1. Select location from autocomplete dropdown

1. Find and click on restaurant from list

1. 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=host

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

Tips

• Always dismiss cookie banners first
• Wait for autocomplete suggestions before clicking
• Some restaurants have "Limited order tracking" - still works for menu viewing
• Prices include allergen info in descriptions
• Use snapshot with compact=true for cleaner output
