Prototype Magnolia Trace Take-Out Meals Site!

This is a preliminary draft site illustrating some basic features of an online meal ordering sevice for Magnolia Trace residents.

Here Residents will be able to Login to the site and place their orders for the next meal available for take-out or delivery.
Magnolia Trace culinary staff and administrators will be also able to Login and see the complete list of all orders submitted by Residents for the next meal.

For this demo I have enrolled fictional Residents, John Doe and Mary Smith, and fictional Magnolia Trace Administrator, Beth Jones.
To Login to either of these accounts, click the Login button below. For each account the Username is their first name and the Password is the lower case letters pw .

When logging in as a Resident, you will immediately see a menu of food options which you can fill out and Submit.
Logging in as the Administrator shows a couple of buttons. The main one is "Residents Requesting Meals" which displays a table of all the orders for the current meal. Clicking on the `order_num` link in the table will show the details for that order.

To keep things simple, I allow the Residents to place multiple orders for the same meal.
This is helpful to test the different options and food selections on the menu page; otherwise, I would need many more enrolled Residents.

It should be obvious that this is just a bare-bones implementation. There are many features that could (and should) be added, but I didn't want to spend any more time unless there is real interest.

Feel free to Login as John and/or Mary and place your food order(s).
Then Login as Beth and see the information available about the orders.

Do not worry about breaking anything--there is nothing that important on the site.

If we get serious about this, we would problay want to provide our users (Residents and Staff) with some a HELP page and a email CONTACT US page.
