Hi , recently me and my friend plan to make a QR code menu-based restaurant system. However, we have no ideas on the part for the holiday event. For example, we will have regular menu as usual for throughout the years , but we will design valentines menu for Valentines day, christmas menu for Christmas day,  festival menu for local festival day and etc. The problem is how do we change the regular menu to holiday menu automatically based on these kinds of holidays for every year? Any suggestion are appreciated. Thanks .

This is for a web site? The web site would presumably know what menu to present, so it should have no problem to react dynamically to the URL being accessed via the QR code.

I'm not sure this helps, because I'm not clear what specific problem you're facing.

Hi Tim, thanks for the reply. Yes, this is for the website,we are develop it using ASP.NET and C#, but of course we will make it mobile responsive. When a customer scan the QR code, they will link to our website URL, then our system will display the regular menu for the customer, after that is ordering and payment stuff like that. The problem is on special days like Valentines day, how can our system automatically change the regular menu to Valentines menu for every year of Valentines Days? Is it we need use the calendar control , task scheduling or use third party API etc? Any guidance are appreciated. Thanks.

What particular problem do you have adding logic to the site that checks for the current date, and to check whether it's in the range where specials are available? You don't need any of what you mention for that.
 
I can't beleive you just said that. Now I need to calm down with this tiny ad:
