The lunch app now uses the regular lunch order model instead of a temporary ordering wizard. This should make the ordering flow easier to maintain and reduce complexity behind the scenes, while keeping the user experience focused on placing lunch orders.
Original PR description
Replacing the lunch order temp wizard by lunch order model should be achieved and could potentially simplify the models -- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr
Website editors can now choose whether page sections stretch across the available width or keep side margins. This helps pages look more balanced when narrower content sections appear alongside full-width snippets.
Original PR description
Snippets with side margins look quite compressed between full width snippets. This commit adds an option in the side-menu to control whether a section is stretched or not. This option is available everywhere it would have a reasonable visual impact (the cutoff was arbitrarily chosen to be that the stretched section is at least 5% larger than the unstretched version) task-2080570
The calendar button is now placed in the standard button area used across Odoo forms. This makes the screen look more consistent and makes it easier to add related buttons in the future.
Original PR description
Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses: Place the button within the right box & make it look better Current behavior before PR: The button was not within an `oe_button_box` div element, which was giving different styling which is not consistent with the rest of Odoo. Result before this PR:  Desired behavior after PR is merged: The button is nicely showed within a button box, just like all other cases in Odoo. It is also easier to xpath and create extra buttons within this button box.  -- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr
