QUESTIONS/ ASSUMPTIONS

 Will the banner/ classified ads be charged, if yes we need to work out
a model for this?
 Need more details on Contest types and how the winners will be
chosen for the contest.
 For now the plan was to let the users of the site pick from a
set of menus and vote. The menu of the week will be
published under the menu of the week tab. I’m going to talk
to some restaurant chains to find if the will sponsor any gift
certificates. We should have a provision to add a gif and
verbiage about the promotion on the page.
 Need more clarification on working of menu FUSE, what is the
difference of Fuse a Menu and Menu Builder?
 Fuse a menu will be like constructing a menu by picking the
recipes based on categories (main course, appetizer, salad
etc) from the database. Here the user is not interested in
typing a menu. But the User is interested in creating a
menu and a grocery list
 What will be max limit for storing number of recipe, menu, and
restaurant in his favorite list for regular user?
 We will have to work on this number together as this is free
space offered to the user. This will decide the capacity of
the database. (I have some schema ideas which I’ll share
with you soon) How do 50 menus sound for a menu book?
And about 300 recipes, 20 chefs and 100 restaurants.
 What will be max limit for storing number of recipe, menu, and
restaurant in his favorite list for upgraded regular user? (Paid user).

 Regular user can recommend to a friend or to fusion menus

Our Assumption: What we understood is user search of recipe or
menu, view chef profile and he can send that link to his friend.
That’s correct

 A regular user will be able to provide review / rating for a menu from a
pre-selected list of menus.
 That’s correct
What is pre-selected list of menus? This was asked in previous
doc still not clear.

Pre-selected means already which are in the list or approved by the

admin to show on the frontend.

 User has to register to post reviews / rate the menu.

 That’s correct

 Share a Menu / Recipe

How this Sharing of menu going to work?

Our Assumption: The user will have the ability of sharing the
menu to be visible on Public area. If user does not want to share it
in public it will be kept as private and not visible to anyone else.
Share really means add. It can be added to the FM (fusion menus)
database or to a personal menu/recipe book.

How the Normal user will able to view this Fusion Menu?
Need to discuss on this

The normal user can view it, if he shares the Menu publicly,
if he shares it private, it will remain in his account.

 Each menu or recipe will be downloadable

Our Assumption:
iPod - this is an upgraded service and will be charged. (Unless it is
free) That’s correct
Are we doing to include in First phase or it will come in later phase?
First phase if possible

What we have understood is we will export the recipe list in

particular file format. (Notes) That will be copied to IPOD from PC.
http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/ff/ipod/ipod_download.html

We will need to do some research on apple website and cell

phone websites to get some freeware. I found a few websites –
please review them. http://www.extratasty.com/tastyextras

The website below creates shopping lists and downloadable

recipes in downloadable format o the i-pod

http://mac.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/Recipe-Box-Screenshot-8910.html

There is software for downloading

http://www.electricstate.com/ipodbartender/

We have checked with this URL. Downloaded some sample notes file of
recipe in zip file.

Are we going to give the files in compressed zip file download for Menu, indusial
recipe, Restaurants, Grocery list?

Sample File Form:

Affinity Cocktail

1 ounce Dry Vermouth

1 ounce Sweet Vermouth

1 ounce Scotch

3 dashes Orange Bitters

Stir and strain into a cocktail glass over ice.

We need to check by importing this file in IPOD. Also need to check max character limit for ipod.

Cell phone

How will it download to Cell phone?

Is this going to work same as download Ring tone or via GPRS?
Please review site - mobile recipes
This URL is not working

How this link MY BEST and TESTED menus/recipes is going to added

and affected to main recipe /menu database?
Tested: This can be an attribute/flag of the menu or recipe.
This will be a personal list that the user has flagged as tested recipe or
tested menu.
Frequently searched or last five searched recipes/menus: To show the
user a list of menu/recipe that the user browsed on the site. Similar to
google. This can be list of the last five recipes/menus browsed.

 Grocery list

Our Assumption:
Here is our understanding. Please Clarify.

User is going to add the Grocery list while adding the recipe.

When user adds recipe to Book, Related Grocery list will be also
shown with check boxes.
So that user can remove unwanted items and save under his book
or export to excel.

User may and save this list in the book under that recipe or Menu.

Every recipe has a grocery list.

A grocery list is a set of ingredient, unit of measure and quantity.
Ingredient quantity unit checkbox
Cauliflower 1 y
Salt 1 tsp n
Onion 2 y
Tomato 2 n -- as I have it in the refrigerator
Heavy cream 1 tbsp y

The above grocery list is for serving size 4. To change it to

serving size 8 I have to multiply the list by 2.

A user will add the recipe with a serving size in mind.

We will have to generate a dynamic grocery list based on
serving size

Software/ Hardware Requirements

 ASP or ASP.Net with ISS or .Net framework

 Microsoft Windows 2000 Web Server
