Hello Robby, I already started. The caterer sends us a menu pdf every week. (like http://gourmetta.de/Speiseplan/kw%2051_speiseplan.pdf)
I wanted to establish a "meal" model consisting of title, ingridients, default price, calories etc.) and then have some kind of "schedule" with rows "menu 1...5" for each day. Then I want to fill the meals database with each schedule until all the meals are in the database (over the weeks and months meals will repeat) then the administrator (me) digitaliezes the schedules by for example choosing "Soljanka" for Wednsday and "Menu1". when the schedule is in the database my co-workers can choose their meal for each day. - if theay want far in advance. the night before each day the system shoud generate a list like "Dear caterer, plase send us today (05.01.2009) the following meals 1 x Menu 1 (Soljanka) 2 x Menu 3 (Szegediner Gulasch) best regards your happy customers" and send it by email or fax. That's all! I don't want to extend the system further - it shall just replace the pen-and-paepr solution because sometimes we forget to collect the orders and send them away. A funny part would be if we can later harvest data about our favourites but that's not part of my current demand for a data structure. I chose this very simple task for learning efficient rails development, I do not intend to become a rails guru - just want to automate small things in our office.
