# Introduction

The Operations API allows you to create and 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.

With the Operations API, you can:

* Create operations.
* Retrieve and query existing operations.
* Update existing operations.

## Before you begin

It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:

* You must install the Wix Restaurants Orders (New) app.

To use the Operations API, import `{ operations }` from wix-restaurants.v2:

```js
import { operations } from 'wix-restaurants.v2';
```

## Terminology

* **Operation**: Restaurant service that includes various aspects of its online ordering.
* **Scheduling**: Time-related aspects of order placement.
* **Fulfillment methods**: Ways in which a restaurant can provide orders to its customers. See [Fulfillment Methods](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-restaurants-v2/fulfillment-methods/introduction.md).
* **Service fees**: A rule defines the fee that is applied when specific conditions (also defined by the rule) are met. You can use a rule to apply a service fee to a restaurant order. See [Service Fees](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-restaurants-v2/service-fees/introduction.md).
