meal-order-manager

Automates weekly meal ordering from Redefine Meals for Sea Haven Industries employees. Scrapes the menu, generates an order form, collects individual orders, and produces payroll deduction reports.

Weekly Flow

When	What	How
Monday 7am ET	Email previous week's payroll deductions to payroll@	EventBridge → Lambda → SES
Monday 8am ET	Scrape menu, generate form, upload to S3, post link to Slack	GitHub Actions cron
Mon–Thu	Employees visit orders.seahavenind.com and submit orders	S3 static form → API Gateway → Lambda → DynamoDB
Thursday 10am ET	DM employees who haven't ordered yet	EventBridge → Lambda → Slack DM
Thursday 6pm ET	Close form, aggregate orders, post Redefine order summary to Slack	EventBridge → Lambda chain

AWS Resources

Stack name: meal-order-manager (us-east-1)

• S3 — meal-order-manager-form-* (static form hosting), meal-order-manager-reports-* (CSV reports)
• CloudFront — HTTPS distribution with custom domain orders.seahavenind.com
• DynamoDB — meal-order-manager-orders (orders, menu, roster, config)
• API Gateway — HttpApi for order submission
• Lambda — 5 functions: submit-order, close-form, aggregate-orders, slack-notifier, email-report
• EventBridge — scheduled rules (dual EST/EDT) for close, reminders, payroll email
• Secrets Manager — Slack bot token, form API key
• SES — payroll deduction emails

Setup

Local development

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chromium

Deploy to AWS

cp samconfig.toml.example samconfig.toml
# Edit samconfig.toml with your certificate ARN, API key, etc.
sam build
sam deploy

Post-deploy

1. Create the Slack bot token secret: aws secretsmanager create-secret --name meal-order-manager/slack-bot-token --secret-string "xoxb-..."
2. Create the form API key secret: aws secretsmanager create-secret --name meal-order-manager/form-api-key --secret-string "$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
3. Update the Slack channel SSM parameter: aws ssm put-parameter --name /meal-order-manager/slack-channel-id --value "C0XXXXXXX" --overwrite
4. Verify SES sender identity for adam@seahavenind.com
5. Set up DNS: CNAME orders.seahavenind.com → CloudFront distribution domain
6. Populate employee roster: edit config.json and run python3 scripts/seed_roster.py

Local Workflow (no AWS)

The scraper, form generator, Flask server, and aggregator still work locally:

python3 src/scraper/scrape_menu.py        # scrape menu
python3 src/server/generate_form.py       # generate form (local mode)
python3 src/server/app.py                 # serve on localhost:5050
python3 src/aggregator/aggregate.py       # generate CSV reports

Configuration

config.json (local dev):

• menu_url — Redefine Meals menu URL
• order_deadline — displayed on the form
• roster — employee list (name, email, slack_user_id)
• output_dir / orders_dir — local output paths
