Create a dish

What this is
Adding a menu item. The guidance up top is direct about what makes a good listing:
Make one clear dish first. Add a photo, a simple name, and the right price. Keep the words short.
The form
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Photo | The thing diners actually browse — dish cards in Discover are photo-first. |
| Name | Keep it simple. |
| Price | — |
| Description | Describe the dish... |
| Category | Appetizer · Main · Side · Dessert · Drink · Special |
| Ingredients (comma-separated) | Shown as the collapsible list on Dish detail. |
| Allergens (comma-separated) | Shown to diners; blank renders as None listed. |
| Dietary Tags | Vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, keto, paleo — these drive dietary filtering. |
| Availability | Available on menu / Hidden from menu |
Allergens matter here: diners are told None listed rather than "no allergens", but filling this in properly is what makes that distinction useful.
Availability, not deletion
Marking a dish Hidden from menu takes it out of the diner-facing menu without destroying it — the right move for a sold-out special. Deleting is permanent and lives on Portfolio.
After your first dish
Nice. Your first dish is live. Now show it off so people can find it. [ Open portfolio ]
