The gadget I would love to see on restaurant webpages: An red/green-indicator whether the restaurant is open _right now_ (And for how long, or how long until it opens.)
On the one hand that's a simple javascript when the opening times are machine readable, on the other hand handling holiday days would require manual intervention.
- retube 15y agoReliable opening times are the holy grail of any business or directory listing. But in practice it's really hard to do reliably. The best you can do really is just list normal opening times + include the "closed on xmas day, bnk holidays" caveat, and let people figure out for themselves whether the store is open or not. Else you risk telling people you're closed when you're not, or vice versa.
