Description

To provide a menu publishing solution which can be rolled out across multiple higher education institutions to allow them to display their menus digitally via individual domains under Lot 11 Technology of the TUCO CICS DPS agreement.

The menu publishing solution platform must integrate with TUCO Online By utilising the Menu Manager API, it must be capable of receiving recipe / dish data direct from TUCO Online so that menu data can be published across:

1. Menus to Web : Fully branded menu web pages which are also optimised for mobile viewing.
2. Allergen Matrix : Automatic publishing from up-to-date menu items.

Each license (i.e. member institution) will be linked via a separate API connection and the platform must meet the following criteria:

• Ability to have multiple venues per member institution.
• Be able to view each institution's venues under one menu, or access to each venue's menu via a unique URL.
• Menus should have the ability to display each dish name, product description, ingredients, nutrition information, course, calories, allergens, dietary options, price and photo.
• Ability for users to filter by allergens / sub allergens, dietary preference, dish name or dish ID (each dish will have a unique #ID).
• Each licence user can: Turn on/off each menu. Amend colours / logos. Turn on/off the pricing on each menu
• Website should be responsive (accessible via mobile, desktop and tablet)
• Ability to link with EPOS for dynamic menu updates
• Must meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines (AA minimum)
