# Creating a Restaurant

Restaurants are built **entirely in-game** through the admin builder wizard — no mapping, no config, no restart.

#### Open the builder

As an admin, run:

```
/restaurantadmin
```

This command is permission-gated: on QBCore/ESX/Qbox it requires the framework's **admin** permission. (If no framework is detected it falls back to open access — lock this down on a live server.)

#### The wizard

A guided, step-by-step tutorial walks you through the flow the first time (replay it anytime with `/resettutorial`).

| Step                | What you do                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **1 — Name & Blip** | Set the restaurant name, purchase price, and the map blip (sprite + color), then place the blip in-world with **Get Coords**.                                                                   |
| **2 — Zone**        | Draw the restaurant boundary polygon (LEFT CLICK / **E** to add a point, **BACKSPACE** to undo, **ENTER** to finish). This defines the working area for staff check-ins and element visibility. |
| **3 — Stations**    | Add and place stations (grill, fryer, prep board, POS, seats…). Each is positioned live in the world.                                                                                           |
| **4 — Save**        | Review and build. The restaurant becomes purchasable and manageable.                                                                                                                            |

{% hint style="info" %}
While placing anything in-world, **ESC no longer opens the pause menu** — it acts as cancel/undo for the current placement.
{% endhint %}

#### Placing stations & props

For each station you choose whether it spawns a physical **prop** or is a prop-less interaction point. You can fine-tune prop position/heading and place customer **seats** individually. See Stations for the full type list.

#### Editing & deleting

Re-open `/restaurantadmin`, pick an existing restaurant from the sidebar, and you can edit its stations, blip and zone, or delete it. Changes are written to the database and hot-applied to all clients.

#### Ownership

A finished restaurant is unowned until purchased at its **Purchase Point**, or assigned by an admin. Once owned, the management tablet unlocks for the owner and their employees — see Ownership & Management Tablet.
