Lunch Board Reader

The Lunch Board Reader is an approval system for Owensboro Market, a local marketplace launching in Owensboro, Kentucky. Food trucks post their weekly schedules as pictures on Facebook. Those pictures hold the dates, times and addresses the lunch board needs, and they are where misreads happen. The Reader takes a truck's post (the picture plus the date it was posted) and turns it into structured stops. Anything it cannot read clearly, a missing end time, a place with no street address, a week that could mean two Mondays, comes back empty with a flag saying exactly what is unclear. It flags; it does not guess. Plain code checks every read, and the result lands in an approval queue where a person compares the draft against the original post and approves it before anything reaches the board. A private, employees only stop can never be approved onto the public board. Tested on eight sample cases built to probe the rules, the Reader scored 40 of 40 reads correct across five runs, with zero invented values, plus 18 of 18 on a held out set it was not designed against. The demo video shows the full flow.
