The home page asks user for location and when the user allows location it uses Google Maps API to get the city. This autofills the search box for location. The user can keep the search box blank if he needs all the restaurants in that location or enter a search string for a restaurant. This will return restaurant list based on the search criterion.
If the user blocks the Geolocation request then the user has to fill the search detials. The user gets suggestions on the basis of the search string he types. These suggestions are loaded from the database. Suggestions are provided for both: Restaurant name and Location.
The Home page provides a quick search feature. Based on which tag the user clicks corresponding results are show to the user. In this case the user does not need to type enter the search string for restaurant. Location can be either Geolocation or can be a entered string by the user
When the user selects a particular Restaurant he is redirected to the Restaurant page where-in the user can view and interact with restaurant specific details, for instance: view the restaurant menu, check-in, write a review.
