Food and drink specials from venue pages

Optional venue file

Share your specials with an optional venue file.

HPYHR does not depend on this file today. If your team wants a structured file, you can host hpyhr.json on your own site and let us read it there.

Why this matters

Why a venue might use this later

HPYHR does not depend on this file today. It is an optional venue file for teams that want a structured way to share specials.

Optional venue file

This gives your team an optional structured file for specials when you decide the extra maintenance is worth it.

Source links included

Every entry can point to the source page on your own site or a directly linked venue page.

Low overhead when you opt in

You host one file on your own site. There is no account or dashboard to manage.

How it works

Three optional steps

  1. Build the file

    Use the generator or the spec when your team wants an optional venue file.

    Open generator

  2. Upload to your site

    Upload it to yoursite.com/hpyhr.json on the same host.

  3. Check & submit

    We check the live file and can use it as an additional venue-provided source.

    Submit

If you use the file

Recency matters

Keep the file current to earn a freshness badge and make it more useful when you choose to maintain it.

Gold Updated in the last 6 months.
Silver Updated in the last 9 months.
Bronze Updated in the last 12 months.

HPYHR periodically re-checks freshness.

Choose your path

Manager-first or developer-direct setup.

Option A: Manager

Use the generator, copy or download the file, then upload it if your team wants to test the optional venue file.

Option B: Developer

Build hpyhr.json directly only when your team wants to manage the file as an optional way to send updates.

What to tell your webmaster

Please publish our optional HPYHR venue file at:
https://MYVENUE.com/hpyhr.json

Use this format:
https://hpyhr.ca/hpyhr/spec/

This gives HPYHR a structured file on our website if we decide to maintain specials directly there.

Once the file is live, submit it here:
https://hpyhr.ca/hpyhr/submit/

If nothing changed, the same live file can be resubmitted.
Update last_updated at least every 6 months to keep the freshness badge current.
