Perplexity

Terminal-driven GoFood order operations

Run your entire delivery kitchen from a bash prompt. Claude Code connects directly to your merchant endpoints, letting you run `accept_order` or `mark_order_prepared` with simple terminal commands. You can pipe the output of these tools directly into your local logging scripts or terminal monitors. There is no heavy interface to load. When a rush hits, you can check active orders and handle kitchen queues without ever opening a web browser, keeping your terminal-based workflow fast and lightweight.

Headless menu sync with this MCP Server

Automate your catalog maintenance through cron jobs and terminal scripts. This MCP Server allows Claude Code to fetch your live food catalog using `get_catalog` and push updates using `update_catalog` in a headless environment. You can set up a shell script that runs every night to execute `update_menu_stocks` across all your locations. It ensures your morning shift starts with accurate ingredient counts without requiring manual intervention from staff.

Multi-outlet script execution

Manage multiple store locations using simple command-line prompts. Claude Code can list all your active storefronts with `list_linked_outlets` and link new physical locations using `link_outlet` without leaving your SSH session. If you need to remove an underperforming kitchen from your active stack, the agent runs `unlink_outlet` instantly. It gives SREs and backend developers complete control over the merchant network using standard terminal commands.
