Catering Finder
May 17,2013
Ok guys, a HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to Giselle and Elisa for providing the entire database of catering foods!
And thanks to Brooke and Pam for helping with spell-checking and editing and filling in all the blanks!
This was a huge effort on everyone's part! So thanks to all!
(and of course, a gigantic humongous thank you to my husband (Rachel was busy with school and work!) for writing the search program for us! It's amazing!!)
So here's what you are going to see:
(this is only a picture. click on one of the links above for the real program..)
Enter either the name of the food OR the name of the catering mission you would like information on, you cannot look up two things at once!
Part 1:
To see which catering missions need a certain food, enter a partial or full name of a food into the "Name of Food" box. Then hit the Find button.
You will get a complete list of EVERY catering mission that uses that food. Click on one of the missions to see everything that mission needs (foods and parts).
If you enter Chicken, you are going to get a huge list! So pick the one you want and see which missions need that dish.
Part 2:
To look up a mission to see what foods you need...
Enter the mission name into the "Catering Mission Name" field.. (again, you can use partial name)
You will get the foods needed for that catering mission, AND the food GIDs for those foods, AND the catering parts GIDs (BONUS!!).
Part 3: NEW!! October 4, 2013 - search for a catering mission by the reward dish that was unlocked!
WHY MIGHT YOU NEED THESE???? Well, the most common reason is you are cooking a long term food, many of them, and about to pull them off of your stove.
So you decide to check and see if anyone has any caterings open that can use that food before you pull them off! For instance, my friend Brooke was pulling 300 foods last night
and before she did, we checked, there were a dozen catering missions that needed her Crackling Peking Duck - so then she went through the truck to see if any of her friends
were working on THOSE missions, so she could join them before she served the food! This is an easy way to help your friends out!
Please remember, though, you can only assist on 20 missions at a time. More than 20 and the food stops counting!
Tips and Examples:
DO NOT USE COMMAS OR APOSTROPHES - THEY WERE ALL REMOVED.
(some of the hyphens were removed, but not on purpose. If a food or mission has a hyphen, look it up both with and without to find it.
For example - you want to find out what foods are needed for Susie's Booth III
Enter susies without the apostrophe, and no space, into the Catering Mission Name box and click the Find! button.
If you want to see what foods are in Picture-Perfect Prom, enter picture-perfect (with a hyphen) into the Catering Mission Name box, and hit the Find! button. If its not there, search for picture perfect with a space, and no hyphen.
If you want to see what missions need Meat Carver's Pizza, enter meat carvers pizza into the Name of Food box (or just meat) and hit the Find! button.
As always - if you have issues or need help, message me on the facebook page.
Thanks for using my site! I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoy helping you!
HAPPY COOKING!
