# Local Business Tools — Notes

## Assumptions

- Canonical URLs and `sitemap.xml` use `https://local-business-tools.pages.dev/` as the assumed production domain. Replace that domain after deployment if you publish elsewhere.
- The site is one combined static project for the category `20. Local Business Tools`, not separate projects per tool.
- No real ad network code is included. Monetization requests are represented only as HTML comment placeholders such as `<!-- ad slot: ... -->`.

## Fully functional tools

### 1. MenuPriceCalc — Restaurant Menu Item Pricing Calculator

Fully functional in-browser features:

- Per-item ingredient + packaging cost input.
- Target food-cost-percentage selector with benchmark-style presets for cafe, food truck / fast casual, casual dining, fine dining, and high-margin drink/snack items.
- Custom target food-cost percentage.
- Recommended menu price calculation using `price = ingredient cost / target food-cost percentage`.
- Cost-vs-margin breakdown visualization.
- Manual competitor/current price sanity check.
- Copyable single-item result.
- Downloadable single-item worksheet as `.txt`.
- Multi-item menu worksheet saved locally with `localStorage`.
- Price-ladder insight across saved menu items.
- Copyable full-menu summary.
- Exportable full-menu CSV worksheet.
- Clear local worksheet action.

Included extraFeatures:

- Multi-item menu builder.
- Competitor/current-price comparison.
- Exportable menu-pricing worksheet.

Skipped extraFeatures:

- None from the provided list were skipped.

Known limitations:

- No cross-device sync because the site has no accounts, backend, or database.
- No live supplier-cost import because paid APIs/server processing are outside the static-only constraint.
- Results are decision-support math, not a complete restaurant financial model.

### 2. GoogleReviewLink — QR Code + Direct Link Generator for Google Business Reviews

Fully functional in-browser features:

- Google Place ID input with guidance link to Google’s own Place ID documentation/finder workflow.
- Direct Google review-link construction using the supplied Place ID.
- Client-side QR code generation. The page loads QRCode.js from CDN and includes a local static fallback bundle so the QR still renders if the CDN fails.
- Downloadable QR PNG.
- Copyable direct review link.
- Printable counter-card/table-card preview.
- Downloadable review card PNG rendered with Canvas.
- Browser print action for the card.
- Copyable SMS/WhatsApp and email review-request templates.
- Optional Facebook and other review-platform links with copy buttons.

Included extraFeatures:

- Printable table-tent/counter-card design template incorporating the QR code.
- Review-request text-message/email template suggestions.
- Basic multiple-platform support through optional manual review URLs.

Skipped extraFeatures:

- Fully automatic Google business search / Place ID lookup was skipped because it requires a Google Places API key or server-side proxy, which violates the no paid API/no backend/static-only constraints.
- Real premium printable template pack was not included; this static deliverable includes one clean printable card template only.

Known limitations:

- The business owner must correctly copy and paste their own Place ID.
- QR code quality depends on the supplied link being correct.
- No analytics, reputation monitoring, review gating, or follow-up automation because those require backend services and would risk policy/platform issues.
