MeetingSpaceSelector

Hotel Polaris Space Suggester (Phase 1)

Phase 1 includes:

• Capacity-chart knowledge base loaded from capacity-chart.pdf into room_catalog.json
• Cvent RFP PDF upload UI
• Header extraction for:
  • Account Name
  • Group Name / RFP Title
  • Arrival Date
  • Departure Date
  • RFP Contact Name
  • RFP Contact Company
• Best-fit room recommendations by attendee count + requested setup style
• Recommendation-only output (no exclusion list)
• Salesforce (Delphi) integration scaffold UI (no credential storage, no live auth yet)

Run

cd "/Users/jonathanmiller/Documents/App Development Sandbox/MeetingSpaceSelector"
python3 app.py

Then open: http://127.0.0.1:8080

Notes

• The parser is currently optimized for Cvent-style RFP PDFs.
• Salesforce/Delphi in Phase 2 should use OAuth 2.0 + MFA (Authenticator) rather than username/password form auth.

Deploy (Render + Custom Subdomain)

This app is server-rendered and has backend API routes, so it cannot run on GitHub Pages by itself.

1. Push this repo to GitHub.
2. In Render, create a new Web Service from this repo.
3. Render will detect render.yaml and use:
   • build: pip install -r requirements.txt
   • start: python app.py
4. After deploy, open the Render service URL and confirm the app loads.
5. In Render service settings, add custom domain: spaceselector.reunited.us.
6. In your DNS provider for reunited.us, create/update the CNAME for spaceselector to the Render target shown in Render.
7. In GitHub repo settings, disable GitHub Pages for this project (to avoid conflicting DNS/hosting behavior).

After DNS propagation, https://spaceselector.reunited.us should serve the live app and backend endpoints from the same host.
