Abstract
A calendar application server, a computer-readable storage medium, and a corresponding method for food service management for food-associated events within the context of a calendar application are described herein. The computer-readable storage medium includes computer-executable instructions that, when executed by processor(s), cause the processor(s) to associate food services with a food-associated event within a calendar application in response to user commands received via an event UI functionality provided by the calendar application, to connect with any of the food services via corresponding APIs in response to user commands received via the event UI functionality provided by the calendar application, to generate food service data for the food-associated event in response to user interaction(s) with any of the food services via corresponding APIs provided within the context of the calendar application, and to reconcile the food service data with food-associated event data corresponding to the food-associated event within the calendar application.
