AppleScript and Crontab
Crontab
Add some crontab setting on your Mac:
crontab -e
then add the following line:
20 12 * * 1-7 sh ~/what-to-eat/show.sh
It literally means that the script show.sh will be executed every day at 12:20

Shell Script
In Shell Script, we want to get the random choice from the list of food. We can use the following command:
#!/bin/sh
lunch=`python3 /Users/weixiang/what-to-eat/main.py`
osascript -e "display notification \"$lunch\" with title \"今天吃什么?\""
the random choice is stored in the variable lunch. Then we use the osascript command to display the notification.
The manual page of osascript can be found here.
AppleScript
We can also write the tool in AppleScript directly. The following is an example:
on run argv
set lunch to do shell script "python3 ~/what-to-eat/main.py"
display notification lunch with title "今天吃什么?"
end run
or
set myList to {"重庆小面", "麻辣烫", "阳春面", "阿文汤包", "麻辣香锅", "安徽板面"} as list
set randomChoice to some item of myList
display notification randomChoice with title "今天吃什么？"
Upgrade
Recently I upgrade the tool to use Gaode API to find nearby restaurants, it will also sort based on its rating scores.
it requires gaode account and GAODE_API_KEY
