DrapCode connection notes

  1. Create or duplicate a restricted admin page at the route shown above and add this Bootstrap 5 layout.
  2. Bind every accordion table and Add/Edit action to the existing collection named by its heading. Verify technical names and relationships first.
  3. Preserve the hierarchy Catering Category → Catering Menu Category → Menu Item. Provider-specific menu pricing and availability should remain on operational provider records.
  4. Check Serving Units against Listing Units and Pricing Units. Reuse existing canonical units instead of maintaining identical values in multiple collections.
  5. Connect Meal Types, Dietary Requirements, Catering Service Types, preparation and beverage choices to catering listings and request forms only where applicable.
  6. Restrict write access to authorised admins. Record material changes in Audit Logs and notify the responsible data owner when active menus or requests may be affected.
  7. After changes, test provider catering registration, listing create/edit, menu display, request creation, search filters and booking details.
