Auto-Menu is a Python script that automates the process of filtering long, repetitive dining hall menus by scraping and extracting only the daily-updated main courses and desserts. It simplifies menu browsing for users, especially in areas with slow internet, by condensing 200+ items into only the most relevant options. Each morning, it automatically sends filtered menus via text message to over 20 users, saving time and effort.
