The canteen receipt builds itself

Order JSON in, receipt PDF with product images out, straight to the inbox of whoever placed the order.

Industry: Canteen / catering

The problem

Orders were retyped by hand. The receipt came late accordingly, or not at all.

The solution

  1. The order comes in as JSON via the REST input.
  2. That becomes a receipt PDF, product images included.
  3. MailOut sends the receipt to the person who ordered.

What it delivered

The order data was already in the system. Someone still retyped it, every single order. Now the receipt shows up on its own in the inbox of the person who ordered, with pictures of the items they ordered.
