Food Cal Order

Food Calendar Order

Place food delivery orders via browser automation, triggered by calendar events.

Modes

Direct Mode

Specific service and restaurant provided.

Title: "DoorDash: Chipotle"
Description: "burrito bowl, chicken, guac"

Discovery Mode

Criteria-based; searches all services to find best match.

Title: "Thai food, high ratings, under $30, food for 2"
Description: "no shellfish, prefer noodles"

Calendar Event Parsing

Always read both the title AND description of the calendar event.

Title → Mode + Target

Description → Order Details + Constraints

The description carries two kinds of info:

1. Order details — what to order (items, quantity, servings)
2. Constraints — things that MUST be honored, safety-critical

Parse the description and extract:

Allergy/dietary constraints are non-negotiable. If unsure whether an item is safe, skip it and pick a clearly safe alternative. When in doubt, err on the side of caution — wrong food is annoying, an allergic reaction is dangerous.

Parsing Example

Title: "DoorDash: Chipotle"
Description: "2 burrito bowls (chicken), guac on the side. Nut allergy. Gate code: 5521"

Extracted:

• items: 2x burrito bowl (chicken), guacamole (side)
• allergies: nuts
• delivery_notes: gate code 5521

Title: "Thai food, high ratings, under $30, food for 2"
Description: "no shellfish, prefer noodles, gluten-free if possible, leave at door"

Extracted:

• servings: 2
• budget: $30
• allergies: shellfish
• dietary: gluten-free (best-effort — "if possible")
• preferences: noodles
• delivery_notes: leave at door

Discovery Mode Execution

Phase 1: Recon (parallel)

Spawn sub-agents for ALL services simultaneously:

sessions_spawn(
  task: """
Search for restaurants on {service}. RECON ONLY — do NOT order.

CRITERIA:
- Cuisine: {cuisine}
- Budget: {budget}
- Rating: {rating_preference}
- Servings: {servings}
- Allergies: {allergies or "none"}
- Dietary: {dietary or "none"}
- Preferences: {preferences}

⚠️ ALLERGY/DIETARY RULES:
- Only recommend restaurants where allergen-safe options clearly exist
- Flag any restaurant where the menu is ambiguous about allergens
- When noting menu highlights, confirm dishes are safe given stated allergies/dietary

BROWSER STEPS:
1. Open {service_url} using Chrome profile
2. Verify logged in
3. Search for "{cuisine}" or "{cuisine} food"
4. Apply filters if available (rating, price level, delivery time)
5. For top 3 restaurants:
   - Note: name, rating (stars + review count), price level ($/$$/$$$)
   - Note: delivery time estimate, delivery fee
   - Click into restaurant, scan menu for items matching cuisine
   - Note 2-3 standout dishes and typical entree price
   - Check if menu items list ingredients or allergen info
   - Flag any allergen concerns for highlighted dishes

RETURN FORMAT:
## {service} Results

### 1. {Restaurant Name}
- Rating: {stars} ({count} reviews)
- Price: {$/$$/$$S} (~${X}/person)
- Delivery: {time} min, ${fee} fee
- Menu highlights: {dishes matching criteria}
- Allergen safety: {safe / caution / unclear} — {notes}
- Fits constraints: {yes/no + notes}

### 2. ...
### 3. ...

**Best match:** {pick} because {reason}
""",
  label: "food-recon-{service}"
)

Phase 2: Decision

After all recon sub-agents return, aggregate and compare:

Select winner based on:

1. Allergen safety first — eliminate any restaurant where safety is "unclear" or "caution" unless no safe options exist
2. Must fit cuisine and dietary constraints
3. Must be achievable within budget (leave 25% for fees/tip)
4. Prefer higher rating
5. Prefer faster delivery
6. Menu fits stated preferences

Decide on order: Based on servings and preferences, plan a good meal:

• For 2: typically 1 appetizer + 2 entrees, or 2-3 shareable plates
• Stay within budget
• Never include items that conflict with allergies/dietary constraints
• Lean into preferences ("prefer noodles" → include noodle dish)
• If allergy info is ambiguous for an item, pick a clearly safe alternative

Phase 3: Order

Spawn order sub-agent for winning service (use Direct Mode task prompt above, with decided items).
