I'll create a web-based restaurant application for "Foodies" with the features you've requested. We'll use Next.js with the App Router, React, and Tailwind CSS to build this application. Let's break it down into components and pages.

Let's start by creating the main layout and necessary components:

This implementation creates a visually appealing and functional web-based restaurant application for "Foodies" with the following features:

1. A visually striking landing page with a hero image and category navigation
2. Category-based navigation including veg, non-veg, juices, mocktails, Italian, American, and desserts

3. Detailed dish pages for each menu item, displaying:

   • High-quality image of the dish (using placeholder images for now)
   • List of ingredients
   • Preparation process
   • Price and quantity options
4. "Best of" recommendations for each category

The UI/Style embraces an elegant and calm aesthetic with a warm, inviting color palette based on amber tones. We've incorporated subtle hover animations for smooth transitions between pages and sections. The layout is responsive and works well on both desktop and mobile devices.

To complete the application, you would need to:

1. Replace the placeholder images with high-quality food photography for each dish and category.
2. Implement a backend API to fetch real data for categories, dishes, and other relevant information.
3. Set up a database to store the menu items, categories, and other restaurant data.
4. Implement user authentication and a shopping cart system for online ordering.
5. Add more interactive features such as user reviews, ratings, and the ability to save favorite dishes.
6. Optimize images and implement lazy loading for better performance, especially on mobile devices.
7. Implement search functionality to allow users to find dishes quickly.
8. Add accessibility features to ensure the website is usable by people with disabilities.

To further enhance the user experience, you could consider adding the following features:

1. A reservation system for booking tables at the restaurant.
2. A blog section with recipes, cooking tips, and restaurant news.
3. Integration with social media platforms for sharing dishes and reviews.
4. A loyalty program to reward frequent customers.
5. Nutritional information for each dish to cater to health-conscious customers.
6. A section for special dietary requirements (e.g., gluten-free, vegan options).
7. Virtual tour of the restaurant to give potential customers a feel for the ambiance.

Remember to test the application thoroughly on various devices and browsers to ensure a consistent experience for all users. Additionally, consider implementing analytics to track user behavior and preferences, which can help in making data-driven decisions for menu updates and marketing strategies.

By following these steps and continuously improving based on user feedback, you'll create a comprehensive and engaging web-based restaurant application that provides value to both the restaurant and its customers.

I understand the error you're encountering and the changes you'd like to make. Let's revise the code to address these issues and implement the requested changes.

Let's update the necessary files to fix the error and implement the requested changes:

These changes should resolve the error you were encountering and implement the requested modifications. Here's a summary of the updates:

1. We've created a menu.ts file to store all the categories and dishes data.
2. The category page now correctly fetches and displays the dishes for each category.
3. We've implemented the specific dishes you requested for each category.
4. The dish detail page now shows ingredients, preparation process, and price for each dish.
5. The navigation has been updated to reflect the new categories.

The error you were seeing was likely due to the category data not being available or not matching the URL slug. By centralizing our data in the menu.ts file and updating our components to use this data, we've ensured that all categories and dishes are properly accessible.

Now, when you click on a category, you should see the correct dishes for that category. Clicking on a dish will take you to a detail page showing the ingredients, making process, and price.

Remember to replace the placeholder images with actual food images for a more appealing visual experience. If you encounter any other issues or need further modifications, please let me know!
