Introduction

The Operations API allows you to manage operations at restaurants. An operation refers to different services a restaurant may offer. For example, a restaurant may offer a takeaway operation and a catering operation, where each one would work with different time frames, availabilities, and fees.

Operations shouldn't be created or deleted manually. They are automatically created when operation groups and business locations are created, and deleted when their associated operation group is deleted.

Operations are automatically assigned to operation groups and business locations. These assignments can't be changed.

For more information about how operations are created and assigned to operation groups and business locations, see About the Operation Groups API.

With the Operations API, you can:

• Retrieve and query existing operations.
• Update existing operations.

Before you begin

• This API requires Wix Restaurants Orders (New) to be installed on the site calling the API. If you are using this API in an app, add Wix Restaurants Orders (New) as an app dependency.

Terminology
