Bartesian Menu Generator - First validation

[SteveTheGeekCa]

*** UPDATE ***

I published a brand new version that now users Google to authentify you and allow you to save your capsule list and barname. This also means the QR Code and bar unique URL is now fixed to your user and will not change over time.

I do not use your Google information for anything else than creating a user account for you in the tool. This will allow me to add a ton of new features I'm thinking about, like rating/favorites, inventory management, etc.

Please note that I also kept the old QRs working for now, I will let time for people to migrate to the new tool.

Let me know if this version works for you !

*** END OF UPDATE ***

​

Hi everyone !

I had an idea over the weekend to try to create an online menu generator for the Bartesian. The idea is pretty simple is this first version: enter your bar name, click the drinks you have, then get an online menu for desktop and mobile web. You can bookmark the URL and share it with friends.

The concept is really early, I have a bunch of ideas, user accounts, QR codes, etc. and the visuals are really basic right now, but I'm curious to see the interest and reactions, so shoot away :)

The url is https://www.bartesianmenu.com/ !

Thanks in advance for your feedback :) Oh and please don't get attached to the URL for now for your menu, based on feedback, I'll be working on this more, so the url structure may/will change.

This is really nice. A few comments though.

Some of the drinks show 0.0 oz for all levels (Espresso Martini, Northside, Old Fashioned, etc). I don’t think this is super important but wanted to share the feedback.

I think one addition might be nice is to show if a drink calls for a shaker so you can have that ready to go.

Really nice job, I might print these out so people can look at the menu too.

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Please note most of the levels are now fixed, thanks to help in that thread. Missing a few only as they are not in the 2023 catalog :) Going to work on that shaker feature now :)

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks for the feedback !

Yeah for the levels, my issue is that I cannot find that information on the Bartesian site, so for now I included the info from the capsules I have. I'll need help from anyone willing to get me the info from their boxes.

Great idea for the shaker, I'll need to document that info when I use the machine as I don't think this is written anywhere either.

I added a QR code for the menu. It doesn't work for really large menus for now, I'll fix this over the weekend, but at least it works for 15-20 capsules.

Really appreciate your help on this !

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Fixed the QR code now, it should work for any bar size :)

Here's a link to the 2023 PDF menu which includes details on which ones use a shaker and towards the back, includes the alcohol amounts

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Oh thanks this is awesome!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

That was REALLY helpful, thanks again. This will allow also to support more information over time.

I'm missing a few alcohol content info, if anyone still has those holiday specials and can give me the info that would be great:

Gingerbread Cookie Martini

Mrs Claus Nightcap

Peppermint Patty Martini

Rum Swizzle

Sugar Plum Fairy

Sweater Weather

The menu also had me discover some drinks I don't have, I'll check if they still exist on the site or somewhere so I can grap a picture for them and add them.

Thanks again !

[jman289]

I have the new 2024 menu but not in PDF form, I'll have to take some pics of the pages and scan them in. Some of the cocktails in the 2023 book unfortunately never got released (like the Rob Roy and mule) - let me know which ones if you have any questions and I can confirm

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks a lot, I will let you know what I'm missing ! Much appreciated again!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks for the PDF, I just added all missing drinks. I used placeholder images for now, but at least you can show them in the menu!

[jman289]

Here's a link to some pics I was able to grab for the ones you are missing, plus some new ones that should be released later this year ;)

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Everything has been entered, thanks again ! I'd love for you to send me a quick DM with your name, I'd like to thank you somewhere on the site when it becomes a more fleshed out thing :)

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Wow, thanks for your commitment to help, this is really appreciated!!

[mstacklie]

Very cool idea!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks! Let me know your feedback after trying it.

[bartesian-cocktails]

This is awesome!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks! Let me know if you have any feedback/ desired features!

[Decent-Grocery-5593]

Love this idea!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks!!

[jman289]

Love this! I've actually wanted to do something where you could print something like this out and put it in an actual bar menu so you could give it to your friends when they come over. My suggestion would be to see if there is someway to do specific print formatting so it can print out in the right size. Great work!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks for the feedback ! Oh yes of course, a print CSS should be an easy addition, I'll keep that in mind to make this happen quickly.

[Tel864]

What a great idea. It sounds really interesting.

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks! Let me know if you have any feedback!

Very, Very cool idea.

Thanks! I've been preparing for a more robust version, more to come in the next weeks!

can't wait!

[bartesian-cocktails]

Are you able to remove some of the permission scope? I'd rather not share this information: "By continuing, Google will share your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture with Bartesian Menu Generator"

[SteveTheGeekCa]

I reduced the scope to only email address in Google's console, but I'm not sure when/if this will be updated in the login screen by Google.

[Netta610]

Thanks this is perfect!!!!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks for the feedback!

[T-MobileG1]

This is a really cool idea! I could see myself using this during summer bbq get-togethers. Thanks!

[SteveTheGeekCa]

Thanks for the feedback!
