This guide shows how to display daily menus from Compass Group on your info screen using a lunch menu app.
What you'll need
The web address (URL) of your Compass Group restaurant's menu in JSON format. You can find this on the Compass Group website:
Search for your restaurant.
Click "Tilaa ruokalista" (Subscribe for menu).
Choose "JSON syöte" (JSON feed). This will open a URL like this:
https://www.compass-group.fi/menuapi/feed/json?costNumber=3117&language=fi(copy this URL).
Want menus in multiple languages?
Change the website language on Compass Group web site.
Get separate URLs for each language you want.
Make a separate Menu app for each language.
For all languages at once:
Use a Multiview app
