It would be helpful to a lot of people if foodie could find eateries that accommodate specific dietary preferences and restrictions. For example, Risley is free of the 8 most common allergens.

To go along with this, it should also be able to mark foods as vegetarian or vegan.

This issue is due to the parsing of timezones. At 9:00 PM, the labels get shifted off a day. Most people will be viewing this in Eastern Time (AKA where cornell is located), but the browser parses dates from Cornell Dining as UTC. The error lies in this line:

When new Date(date) is called, it's on an ISO8601 date string (YYYY-MM-DD) without a timezone suffix, resulting in it beign parsed as UTC.

Ability to view eateries on a map

Right now, the Cornell Dining API only returns information for Cornell Dining-run eateries. Others exist, some popular examples being Terrace, Temple of Zeus, and Manndible. Some of these accept BRBs, while others don't.

Eatery hardcodes these, and a similar approach would likely be ideal – potentially Foodie could offload this onto the Eatery API (it's a pretty simple GraphQL API, eatery-backend.cornellappdev.com), though that feels wrong. Potentially Foodie could just support the same format that eatery-backend does for external eateries and the JSON files could be kept in sync?

There should be a button (similar to the "Order Online" button) to make a reservation with OpenTable for eateries that support reservations.

It would probably be cool if the user could fill in the blanks in a sentence with dropdowns – something like

I want to eat now on north campus and pay with swipes

This should filter by what's open, where it is, and payment methods
