Project Description:
Task Title: Build a database of service-based businesses in Brisbane who have an online booking
system
What does the database need to include:
Business Name
Business Type (e.g. Restaurant, Hair Salon etc.)
Business Address
URL of the businesses booking page (the booking page on the actual website of the business, not
of the booking portal)
The businesses logo (if they have one)
Business phone number
How to build the database
Access following URL’s – all of which point to Brisbane based services who have an online
booking platform:
http://www.mylocalsalon.com.au/search/?LookFor=Salon&Location=Brisbane&LookForType=1&Near
Id=0&LocationType=0&x=71&y=11
http://www.clickbook.net/dev/search.nsf/all?SearchView&SearchFuzzy=1&SearchOrder=4&Query=B
risbane AND [orgCountry] Contains Australia
http://www.dimmi.com.au/restaurants-brisbane/brisbane-city-restaurants
Go through each search result on the above pages and then visit the actual website of the
company and find the online booking page on the company’s website. Two examples are
below:
http://www.brazilianbeauty.com.au/booking
https://rixonhair.mylocalsalon.com/OnlineBooking/v7410/Steps/SelectServices.aspx
If the company has multiple locations, make sure you get the physical address of each location and if
applicable, the booking page URL of each physical location.
For businesses on Clickbook.net and Bookarestaurant.com – they may not have a personalized
booking page on their own website, so simply use the booking page that the search result
takes you too, e.g.:
https://www.clickbook.net/dev/bc.nsf/sub/blakeservices
http://www.bookarestaurant.com/details/kingsleys-steak-crabhouse-brisbane/2427?when=
