What This Skill Does

The Irish Takeaway skill is a specialized automation tool designed for OpenClaw agents to discover, browse, and extract menu data from food delivery platforms within Ireland. By integrating the goplaces CLI for rapid location-based restaurant discovery and browser automation for navigating Deliveroo and Just Eat, this skill acts as a personal digital concierge for local dining. It leverages Google Places API data to provide accurate ratings, proximity, and operational status for nearby eateries, and uses sophisticated browser control to interact with live websites, parsing menu items, pricing, and critical allergen information in real-time.

Installation

To install this skill, use the following command in your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cotyledonlab/irish-takeaway

Ensure you have the following prerequisites configured on your host machine:

1. Install the goplaces CLI via Homebrew: brew install steipete/tap/goplaces
2. Set your GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY environment variable.
3. Verify your browser tool is correctly configured for automated interaction.

Use Cases

• Neighborhood Discovery: Quickly finding high-rated restaurants when you are traveling or new to an area in Ireland.
• Meal Planning: Comparing pricing and menu offerings between multiple local takeaways without manually browsing different websites.
• Allergen Checking: Extracting specific allergen information (like gluten or dairy) from menu descriptions before placing an order.
• Streamlined Ordering: Automating the tedious process of navigating through delivery app UI elements to arrive at a clear, actionable menu view.

Example Prompts

1. "What are the top 5 Chinese takeaways within 2 kilometers of Dublin City Centre, and are any currently open?"
2. "Navigate to Deliveroo and show me the menu for Mizzoni's in Drogheda, highlighting all pizza options."
3. "Is there a Just Eat menu available for the burger place near my current location in Galway?"

Tips & Limitations

• Cookie Banners: Always prioritize dismissing cookie overlays first to prevent UI obstruction during automation steps.
• Wait Times: When using browser actions, ensure the application has time to render autocomplete suggestions after typing a location before attempting a selection.
• Dynamic Content: Some delivery platforms update prices dynamically. Always rely on the latest snapshot for current pricing and menu availability.
• Scope: This skill is specifically tuned for Irish geography; while the logic works broadly, its primary strength is in mapping the Irish takeaway ecosystem using the recommended goplaces coordinates.
