Order Variable Builder (No JSON Needed)

Non-technical users can create custom capture variables from simple form controls. Type variable name, select type, set required checkbox, and save. System auto-generates schema, required paths, and mapping.

Simple Dashboard Flow

Open Dashboard -> Restaurants -> Open Settings.
Find the card: Order Capture Variables.
In Create New Variable, enter a name (example: customer_name).
Select variable type (Text/Number/Phone/Date/Time/Yes-No/List/Object).
Check Required if needed, then click Add Variable.
Variable appears as a tag. Use edit or x to update/remove.
Click Save Variable Schema.

Per restaurant setup: Every restaurant has its own variables. A restaurant will only validate/show data for variables assigned to it.

What Is Auto-Generated

example_payload from your variable list
required_paths from required checkboxes
db_mapping to map captured data into dashboard/order table fields

Advanced JSON preview is shown in the dashboard as read-only reference.

Behavior

System uses only your created variables for each restaurant.
No hardcoded reservation/order variable template is used.

Orders and Reservations View

Orders and reservations pages show cards by restaurant. Each card displays only the data fields configured in that restaurant schema.

API Endpoints (Optional for Developers)

GET /api/order-schema/restaurant/{restaurant_id} read one restaurant config
PUT /api/order-schema/restaurant/{restaurant_id} update one restaurant config
POST /api/order-schema/restaurant/{restaurant_id}/reset reset one restaurant config
GET /api/order-schema/all fetch all accessible restaurants with config
POST /api/order-schema/validate validate payload without saving

Default Template

No hardcoded variable template is preloaded now. New restaurants start with an empty schema and you define fields yourself from dashboard.

Global fallback config file path: backend/prompts/order_capture_config.json

Prompt Usage

Assistant should return final payload in this format:

ORDER_JSON: { ...your custom payload... }

Backend validates and stores data according to selected restaurant schema.
