# Method name: queryItems()

# Method package: wixRestaurantsV2

# Method menu location: wixRestaurantsV2 --> items --> queryItems

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-restaurants-v2/menus/items/query-items.md

# Method Description:

Creates a query to retrieve a list of items.

The `queryItems()` function builds a query to retrieve a list of items and returns a `ItemsQueryBuilder` object.

The returned object contains the query definition, which is used to run the query using the [`find()`](/items/items-query-builder/find) function.

You can refine the query by chaining `ItemsQueryBuilder` functions onto the query. `ItemsQueryBuilder` functions enable you to filter, sort, and control the results that `queryItems()` returns.

`queryItems()` runs with the following `ItemsQueryBuilder` defaults, which you can override:

* [`limit(500)`](/items/items-query-builder/limit)

The following `ItemsQueryBuilder` functions are supported for `queryItems()`. For a full description of the item object, see the object returned for the [`items`](/items/items-query-result/items) property in `ItemsQueryResult`.
