**Where:** Canary Food Subcategories — dev, table 9945 — the restaurant this journey is named after. Canary Mosaic is driven as a control, because it is a restaurant that really does have sub-categories.

> **What Entrees actually shows me:** 3 dish(es), sub-category controls: m2-subcat-jump-Sides · m2-subcat-jump-more · m2-subcat-nav

### 01 · PATRON

**I expected:** I sit down and open Mains at the restaurant this journey names

**I saw:** 3 dish tile(s); sub-category controls: m2-subcat-jump-Sides, m2-subcat-jump-more, m2-subcat-nav. Screen: Drinks Starters Mains Desserts SIDES 1 MORE 2 Sides 1 dish C Canary Fries Canary baseline side — DO NOT MODIFY. $4.99 More 2 dishes C Canary Grilled Chicken Canary baseline entree 

### 02 · PATRON

**I expected:** There are sub-category dividers I can navigate between

**I saw:** dividers/rail present: m2-subcat-jump-Sides, m2-subcat-jump-more, m2-subcat-nav

> **Control (Canary Mosaic, Mains):** 3 dish(es), sub-category controls: m2-subcat-jump-Sides · m2-subcat-jump-more · m2-subcat-nav · headings on screen: Moving to Table 9946.

### 03 · PATRON

**I expected:** Control: on a restaurant that does have sub-categories, they render

**I saw:** 3 tiles; m2-subcat-jump-Sides, m2-subcat-jump-more, m2-subcat-nav; headings: Moving to Table 9946.

> **Owner → Menu for this restaurant:** **"Failed to load menu — please try again", and Retry does not help.**

### 04 · OWNER

**I expected:** I sign in as the owner of this restaurant and open its Menu

**I saw:** "Failed to load menu — please try again." Retry changes nothing. I cannot reach the menu builder, so I cannot attach a dish or file a sub-category.

> **Owner → Food Items for this restaurant:** **"Failed to fetch menu-item summaries for 1953946f-3a27-5415-8249-a64a19bf5ae4" — the whole page is that one line.**

### 05 · OWNER

**I expected:** I try the other door — Food Items

**I saw:** The page is one red line: "Failed to fetch menu-item summaries". There is no Add Dish button, no list, nothing. Both owner doors into this restaurant's menu are shut.

---

**Verdict:** WALKED

**Why it ended here:** Looked at the diner's Entrees and then tried to do the owner half.
