The Alexa Skill of the Student Office Paderborn allows you to request the current meal plan, information about housing and information about BAfoeG. To start the skill, you can use one of the following commands:
"Alexa, start Student Office Paderborn".
"Alexa, open Student Office Paderborn." To request the current menu of one of the dining halls or cafeterias of the Student Office Paderborn, you can simply say the following command: "Alexa, ask Studierendenwerk Paderborn, what's for dinner." Alexa will then ask you for the day of the week and the cafeteria for which you would like to check the menu. If you know from the beginning which cafeteria and day of the week you would like to know the menu for, you can also include this directly in the query. Here is an example of how a possible query for the menu on Monday in the Mensa Academica could look: "Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what's on offer on Monday in the Mensa Academica?". If you want to know the menu for today in the Mensa Academica, you can say the following: "Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what's on offer today in the Mensa Academica?" Alexa will then read out all the main dishes that are available in the Mensa on the selected day. If you only eat vegan or vegetarian food, you can also ask for this directly. Here is an example: "Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what vegetarian food is available in the Mensa?". It is possible to query all types of food via the Alexa Skill.
"Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what desserts are available?"
"Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what's available in wraps?"
"Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what soups are available?" But it's not just the menu that you can check with the Alexa Skill. You also have the option of finding out the specific prices or ingredients for the dishes on offer. If you are not sure whether the dining halls of the Student Office Paderborn are open, you can also ask: "Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what are the opening hours of Mensa Academica?". In addition to the menu and the opening hours of the canteens, you can also ask for information about the opening hours and contact persons of the BAfoeG Office Paderborn. "Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn for information about the BAfoeG Office?
"Alexa, ask Student Office Paderborn, what are the opening hours of the BAfoeG Office?"
