Online food ordering extension

[khan7660014232]

Hello all,

I'm currently looking for more information on how to accomplish the following task.

I'm in the process of building an online food ordering website, and I'm considering using Magento for the project. You can check out what I have so far at menu price.

I've already started working on the checkout system using a combination of extensions and scripts. However, I'm struggling to find a suitable Catalog extension. What I'm looking for is a way to transform the default catalog layout (which is usually a grid view with images) into a vertical list format, where users can easily adjust the quantity of each product directly from the list.

If this layout can be achieved purely with HTML/ CSS/ JavaScript, that would be fantastic. But from what I understand, that might not be possible without some backend customization or an extension.

I've attached an example to show what I’m aiming for.

Hi Lucas,

Hope you’re doing great, brother!

Thanks for reaching out. I checked out your site FIR menu really cool concept for keeping French restaurant menus updated.

To answer your questions:

1. Auto-fetching or updating food menus – Yes, it’s definitely possible to use an extension or a scraper module to automatically fetch or update food menus from restaurant websites. On my site, menu price, I’ve used custom crawlers that can pull structured menu data, especially if the restaurant site follows a consistent format or is listed on platforms like UberEats, Deliveroo, or TheFork. Integrating this into your workflow would make updates a lot more seamless.

2. Applying it to other categories (like mobile prices) – Absolutely! The same concept can be extended to other niches like mobile prices, electronics, or even grocery items—basically any site with semi-structured data. It just requires adjusting the extraction rules and logic to match the new data structure.

Really glad to hear you've already tested this with Restaurant Chancellerie. If you want, I’d be happy to take a deeper look at that use case and share more tailored advice.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed!

Best regards,
Alex
