## 🎯 How It Works

### Admin Panel
1. Admin opens "Add/Edit Item"
2. Scrolls to "Availability Schedule"
3. Sees clean grid with 7 days × 4 meals
4. Clicks checkboxes to select availability
5. Uses quick buttons for common patterns
6. Saves item

### Frontend
1. User visits public menu
2. Sees current day/meal items by default
3. Info banner shows: "Showing current menu for Monday Breakfast"
4. User clicks day dropdown → selects "Friday"
5. User clicks meal dropdown → selects "Dinner"
6. User clicks "Update Menu" button
7. Loading indicator appears
8. Menu reloads with only Friday dinner items
9. Info banner updates: "Showing menu for Friday Dinner"

---

## 📊 Example Use Cases

### Scenario 1: Check Friday Fish Fry
```
User action:
1. Select "Friday" from day dropdown
2. Select "Dinner" from meal dropdown
3. Click "Update Menu"

Result:
Shows only items available Friday dinner
(e.g., Fish & Chips special)
```

### Scenario 2: Check Weekend Brunch
```
User action:
1. Select "Sunday" from day dropdown
2. Select "Brunch" from meal dropdown
3. Click "Update Menu"

## 🌐 API Integration

### Updated Endpoints
```
GET /api.php/menu
→ Current day/meal (auto-detected)

GET /api.php/menu?day=friday
→ Friday, all meals

GET /api.php/menu?meal=dinner
→ Dinner, all days

GET /api.php/menu?day=friday&meal=dinner
→ Friday dinner only
```

### Filtering Logic
1. API receives day/meal parameters
2. Fetches all items from database
3. Filters items based on `availability_schedule` JSON
4. Returns only matching items
5. Frontend displays filtered menu
