When we are facing a problem with high uncertainty (either because it is a big feature or because we do not know where to start), we first complete an "analysis ticket": somebody on the team devotes a day's work (around 8 hours) to study the problem. The result of such analysis is a document to be shared and later discussed with the team.

The document usually contains the following:

• Objective: why are we doing this.
• Considered solutions: with pros and cons.
• Proposed solution: you are required to select one of the solutions you considered and explore it further using whatever you think is needed: entity-relation diagrams, sequence diagrams, code snippets, a POC...
• Risks: what may go wrong and what you propose to do if that happens.
• Next steps: where do we go from here? Do we need to do another analysis on any specific part of the proposed solution? Could you already split implementation work in tickets?

We propose you to complete an "analysis ticket" on the following topic. It is a somewhat open definition of the problem and you lack the full context of the app: don't worry, you can make any rational assumptions you deem necessary and comment on them.

One important view in Bistrohub is the menu creation view. In that view, we want to enable the user to compose a menu for its restaurant. A menu has categories, and categories have products. In the backend we have corresponding models: Menu, Category (with a many2many key to Menu) and Product (with a many2many key to Category).

The analysis is about building this view: both the UI and REST endpoints required to communicate with the backend. We are not really interested in code that works, but we would like you to tackle these questions:

• Which REST endpoint or endpoints would you expose on the backend, so that the frontend can obtain the menu info? Which data will come through each of those endpoints? Why?
• How would you structure this view into React components? How will you handle state in this view? (state and props of the view / components).
• Which endpoint or endpoints would you use to create or update a menu? Which data will it include?

Once you send your analysis back, we will discuss it a bit by email. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to send me an email.
