Categories and packs
/menu/v1/catalog/packs
What a business can start a menu from. A category is a starting recipe — booking, ordering, registration — and a pack is a ready-made menu for one kind of business, with its catalogue and screens. Both are starting points, never limits: any menu can add, drop or reorder its blocks. The catalogue is public and needs no key.
Unlike Raven's, Menu's packs do not change the API: a request has the same fields in every business. A request's category_id is one of these categories.
Booking
bookingA time with someone: a haircut, a clinic visit, a photo shoot.
Salon and barbersalon_bookingSalons and barbers taking bookings: a cut, hair or nails, at the salon or at home, with a stylist, at a time. Prices are the business's to set.
