Cafés, restaurants & food

These are mostly food — made from ingredients, with a recipe bridging what you sell and what you count — often mixed with retail (packaged goods) and service (tables).

Coffee shop

Moves: food (drinks) + retail (beans, mugs).

1. Drinks are food with a recipe (beans, milk, cup).
2. A Size axis affects the recipe (multipliers 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.5); milk and shots are add-ons.
3. Bagged beans and mugs are retail.

Trap: mark only Size as affecting the recipe — a Hot/Iced axis usually shouldn't scale it.

Pizzeria with build-your-own

Moves: food.

1. Menu pizzas are food products with a Size axis (affects recipe).
2. "Create your own" is a build-your-own product: groups Base (pick 1), Sauce, Cheese, Toppings (pick 0–N), pulling from raw stock.
3. "First 3 toppings free" is the Toppings group's pricing rule.
4. A meal deal (pizza + sides + drink at one price) is a bundle.

Trap: customising a menu pizza is add-ons; building one from scratch is build-your-own.

Bakery

Moves: food (made to order or in batches) + retail (packaged).

1. Cakes and pastries are food with recipes; custom cakes add input fields (message, flavour, pickup date).
2. Pre-packed goods on the shelf are retail.
3. A custom-cake deposit is a service deposit if booked for a date, or an instalment otherwise.

Food truck

Moves: food.

1. Menu items are food products with recipes; sizes and combos as needed.
2. Set the channel to the surfaces you actually use (QR ordering, in-person POS); skip online shipping.
3. Sell-outs are stock running to zero — keep recipes accurate so it deducts correctly.

Full-service restaurant

Moves: food + service (tables).

1. Dishes are food products with recipes; courses and modifiers via add-ons.
2. The floor is a table resource type (whole-unit, assign-now) with the real tables as units.
3. A reservation is a short service booking that requires a table; a party larger than a table packs across several automatically.

Trap: model tables as resources, not a "seats" number, so you can assign and free specific tables.

Brewery taproom

Moves: food/retail (drinks, cans to go) + service (tables, tastings).

1. Pours are food/retail; cans-to-go are retail.
2. A guided tasting is a service with capacity, or over tables if seated.

Catering

Moves: food + service (scheduled delivery/event).

1. Packages are bundles of food items, or build-your-own menus.
2. The event date, time, and headcount are captured on a service booking or input fields; a deposit secures it.
