- Need custom menu to support both desktop and mobile browsers
- Using jQuery.browser.mobile script to determine which menu to display before it is sent to user
- Using Bootstrap for animated drop down menu on mobile browsers
- Need customers location to query database for nearby venue information
- HTML5 has geolocation API which can get approximate user location

Users need to be able to easily search for their business
- Google Places Autocomplete API

and guess what the user is looking. With a little jQuery, the users are
provided a list that is narrowed as they type. Once a location is
selected, a marker is added to the map with an info window showing name,
address, phone and a button for the user to verify it is their location
