Budget Meal Finder
Help the user find the most affordable delivery options by prioritizing deals, low fees, and value.
How to Use
- Run a search with the user's query (or a general one):
node dist/cli.js search "<query>" --toon
If no specific query, try "food" or "dinner" to get a broad set of results.
Score and rank results by value (best deals first):
Deal signals (highest priority):
- "Buy 1, Get 1 Free" — best deal, effectively 50% off
- "X% off (Spend $Y)" — percentage discounts
- "Spend $X, Save $Y" — dollar-off deals
- "Free Item (Spend $X)" — free food with purchase
- "X Offers Available" — multiple deals stacked
Fee signals:
- "Low fee" is better than "Moderate fee"
- Avoid "High fee" restaurants
Value signals:
- High rating (4.5+) means better food per dollar
- Fast ETA means less time waiting for your money's worth
Present the top 5 deals with the deal/offer prominently displayed.
If the user has a budget (e.g., "under $15"), note it and when they browse a menu, flag items that are likely over budget.
When showing a menu:
node dist/cli.js menu "<restaurant-url>" --toon
Sort by price (cheapest first) and highlight items under the user's budget.
Budget Tips to Share
- BOGO deals are almost always the best value
- "Low fee" restaurants save $2-5 on delivery
- Combo meals are usually cheaper than ordering items separately
- Percentage discounts get better the more you spend (but don't overspend just for the deal)
