This is a simple food restaurant chatbot that allows users to place orders through a chat interface. It is built with Node.js, Express, Socket.IO, and uses session middleware for user management.
Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/walemust/Restaurant-Chatbot.git Install dependencies with "npm install" Start the server with "npm start" Open the application by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
Once the application is running, users can interact with the chatbot to place orders. The bot will first prompt the user to enter their name, and then provide them with a list of options to choose from:
1: Place an order 99: Checkout order 98: Order History 97: Current order 0: Cancel order If the user selects "1", the bot will provide a list of menu items for the user to choose from. The user can select an item by entering its corresponding number. Once the user has selected an item, it will be added to their current order.
Users can continue to add items to their order by selecting more items from the menu. Once the user is finished adding items, they can select "99" to checkout their order. The bot will confirm that the order has been placed and save it to the order history.
Users can also view their current order by selecting "97", view their order history by selecting "98", or cancel their current order by selecting "0". If the user selects an invalid option, the bot will let them know.
