FoodAndBeverageResource Schema

Container: Resource.resourceAttributes Protocol Version: 2.0 Semantic Model: generalised Use Cases: Prepared foods, beverages, restaurant items, catered meals Tag: food and beverage resource

Overview

Food and beverage-specific resource attributes for prepared foods and beverages on Beckn v2.1. Extends RetailResource via allOf to add allergens, cuisine type, and preparation instructions.

Migrated from FoodAndBeverageItem (v2). Important migration note: In v2, FoodAndBeverageItem contained fields like resourceId, lineId, offerId, quantity, and price. These have moved to RetailCommitment in v2.1 (line-level commitment data) and RetailOffer (pricing and commercial terms). Only semantic food and beverage properties remain in resourceAttributes.

The container changes from itemAttributes to resourceAttributes to align with the v2.1 generalised Resource model.

Attachment Points

• Resource.resourceAttributes — primary attachment. All F&B resources carry these attributes.

Design Rationale

• Allergens as an array: Multiple allergen types (GLUTEN, NUTS, DAIRY, EGGS, SOY, SHELLFISH, FISH, SESAME)

are modeled as an array for discovery and filtering. Critical for consumer safety.

• Cuisine as a string: Flexible cuisine classification (Italian, Indian, Mexican, American, Chinese, Mediterranean, etc.)

enables search and discovery without imposing a rigid enumeration.

• Preparation as a container: Groups related instructions (how to prepare, how to store, how long it lasts)

for coherent presentation and maintenance.

• Extends RetailCore: Inherits identity, physical characteristics, food classification, packaged goods

declaration, regulatory disclosures, and credentials from RetailResource.

Non-Goals

• Pricing and commercial terms (belong in offerAttributes)
• Customization options (SIZE, TOPPINGS) (belong in FoodAndBeverageOffer.customization)
• Per-commitment quantity or line-level data (belong in commitmentAttributes)
• Fulfillment/delivery and service slots (belong in performanceAttributes)
