How to customize a takeout order?

Get Help Database

Hi Everyone,
I’m building a food delivery app, similar to UberEats. How can my end-user customize their orders?
For example, we sell takeouts, however the user needs to select between:

  • 1 (required) out of 3 options of rice
  • 1 (required) out of 2 options of beans
  • 2 (required) out of 3 options of salads

If the takeout size is small:

  • 2 (required) out of 5 options of meats

If the takeout size is medium or large:

  • 3 (required) out of 2 options of meats

I’m not able to find a way to build in a efficient collection and also how to represent that with the components available.

Originally, I’ve tried the following relationships:

Menu > Menu Items (one to many)
Menu Items > Menu Item Add-Ons (one to many)

Unless I don’t specify a column for each add-on, I don’t know what to do:

Hello
I do have the same and implemented it as the following
regardless of the menu and menu items design, for each menu item I add addons-groups , and adding addons-items to these groups

***addons-group collection
addons group
.
.
.
*****addons-item collection
addons item
.
.
.
the min and max attributes in the group collection determine if this addons group is REQUIRED or OPTIONAL, like if the min is Zero then its optional, if min is more than Zero its required and the upper limit of selection capped by the max

to represent this I am using a custom component built specifically for this, and display as this

Hello, how are you? I would do it this way

In a client’s ice cream ordering app we did this

Databases: orders, products, order items, flavors

The order starts and asks you to select the type of ice cream
1kg = 4 flavors, 1/2 = 3 flavors 1/4 = two flavors
In the database you already create the Products (type of ice cream, price, quantity of flavors, etc.) and in another database the flavors…

When you create the order, when you press 1 kilo an ORDER ITEM of current order is created (you must create it in the database), when you press it a modal opens that says select flavors…

Example: select a Kilo, on the select flavors page there are 4 dropdowns that say flavor 1, in another flavor 2, the other flavor 3 and the other flavor 4… when you select the 4 press the Continue button… the continue button updates the CURRENT ORDER ITEM And save in the database in flavor 1 = dropdown1 and so on with the same… then you have an order item that is 1 kilo with those flavors and the price per kilo

Then in the order summary you say show me the order items of the current order… then Product opens: 1 kilo, Price, flavors (and in text you put the ones you saved in the database)

I think you can play with some of this and the idea can help you… it worked great for us… you should play with visibilities and conditions
