This document outlines a proposed mobile app called the Food Map that would provide information about restaurant locations, foods available, and dietary requirements. The app would use HTML5, JavaScript, MySQL, PHP, and other technologies to allow users to search for restaurants that meet dietary needs like being gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or for managing diabetes. It would display locations on Google Maps and link to restaurant websites and social media pages. Maintenance of the up-to-date restaurant data would be required on an ongoing basis.

1. Food Map (Dietary Requirement Database)

2. What will the product be? A cross platform App for smart-phones including; I-phones, Androids, HTC phones etc.

3. Who is our Cat? People who have dietary requirements including but not limited to: Coeliac Disease Vegetarian Diet Vegan Diet Diabetes Raw NB: This choice can be amended or added to at a later date. Eg. Halal, Kosher etc.

4. Who is our Cat? Pt. 2 People who know people who have dietary requirements e.g. parents of children who have them, friends of people who have them, societies etc. NB: At the moment we will not be catering to severe allergies that can result in anaphylactic shock as we are not doctors and will not be liable for severe reactions.

5. Technology Used HTML5 JavaScript MySQL PHP Photoshop Illustrator Dream Weaver 5 Googlemaps

6. Functionality Databases hold the information about the restaurant locations and foods available JavaScript takes User Input to gain information to access important Output from the database for the User Call Function: gets the phone to ring the restaurant from the App Links to restaurant websites/ Facebook pages Googlemaps to give locations but not directions to the restaurant itself

7. Roles Research Getting restaurant information Developer/ Programmer Makes prototype, maintains the App Maintenance Works with the restaurants for week to week changes, works with the boards to approve accreditation. E.g. Coeliac/ Vegetarian/ Vegan Society of Ireland etc Investigating the possibility of having the app involved as part of the package when you subscribe to become part of the society (whichever requirement it may be).

8. Will I be able to do it on my own? Yes, I do. While my programming experience outside of this course is minimal, everything I will need for this App, I am learning in Charlie Cullen’s class and Cindy Liu’s class.
