Open-source idea: Structuring Restaurant Menus (Chipotle Example)

[proseo2036-debug]

Hi developers 👋

I was exploring how restaurant data can be better organized for apps and websites. A lot of people look for menu information online, but many restaurants don’t provide structured or developer-friendly formats like JSON or APIs.

For example, while experimenting, I used the Chipotle menu as a case study to see how we could make a simple dataset that can be easily integrated into food apps, nutrition trackers, or price comparison tools.

I think it would be useful to collaborate on an open-source project where we:

Parse restaurant menu pages into structured JSON.

Include details like calories, ingredients and prices.

Make it easily queryable for developers building food or delivery apps.

If anyone’s interested, I’ve also documented some references and resources here: chipotal menu
which shows how such menus are presented publicly.
