Enatega App: Fix Restaurant Card Category Display

Bug Report: Removing the Default Category Heading

This document details a bug encountered in the Enatega Customer Application concerning the display of restaurant categories on the discovery screen. Specifically, it addresses the issue where the heading "Default category" appears on restaurant cards when no specific food category has been selected by the user. This report outlines the steps to reproduce the bug, the expected behavior, and provides visual evidence of the issue.

Describing the Bug

The core issue lies in the display of the "Default category" heading on restaurant detail cards within the Enatega Customer Application. This occurs on the discovery screen, specifically when a restaurant has not had a food category assigned to it. Instead of displaying a blank or omitting the category section entirely, the application incorrectly shows the placeholder "Default category". This can be misleading to users as it doesn't accurately represent the restaurant's offerings and can create a confusing user experience. The fix will ensure a cleaner, more intuitive interface by either displaying the correct category or showing nothing at all when no category is selected.

This bug impacts the user experience by presenting inaccurate information. Users might misinterpret the "Default category" label, potentially leading them to believe that the restaurant only offers items within a generic category. This misrepresentation can negatively affect user decisions and reduce the likelihood of exploring restaurants that might actually cater to their preferences. Therefore, resolving this issue is crucial for maintaining the app's usability and ensuring accurate information presentation.

To further clarify the impact, consider a scenario where a user is searching for a specific type of cuisine, such as Italian or Mexican. If restaurants without selected categories are displaying "Default category", these restaurants may be overlooked by the user, even if they offer the desired cuisine. This can lead to a decrease in restaurant visibility within the app and potentially impact their order volume. Addressing this bug will enhance the app's functionality and improve the overall experience for both users and restaurant owners.

Steps to Reproduce

To replicate this bug, follow these steps within the Enatega Customer Application:

1. Navigate to the Enatega Customer Application: Launch the application on your mobile device.
2. Access the Discovery Page: Proceed to the main discovery screen, which displays a list of available restaurants.
3. Inspect Restaurant Cards: Examine the restaurant cards displayed on the discovery page.
4. Identify Restaurants without Selected Categories: Look for restaurants that do not have a specific food category displayed below their name.
5. Observe the Incorrect Heading: Notice that the heading "Default Food Category" is present on these restaurant cards, indicating the bug.

By following these steps, you can easily reproduce the bug and observe the incorrect category heading. This consistent reproduction highlights the need for a solution to improve the app's user interface and provide accurate information to the users.

Expected Behavior

The desired behavior for the Enatega Customer Application regarding restaurant categories is as follows:

• If a food category is selected for a restaurant: The application should accurately display the selected category on the restaurant card. This ensures that users are presented with the correct information about the restaurant's offerings.
• If no food category is selected for a restaurant: The category heading should either be blank or not shown at all on the restaurant card. This prevents the display of misleading information and maintains a clean and professional user interface. The specific implementation (blank or hidden) should align with the application's design guidelines.

This expected behavior ensures that users receive accurate and relevant information, improving their experience and facilitating better decision-making within the app. By implementing these changes, the Enatega Customer Application will provide a more user-friendly and reliable platform for discovering and ordering from restaurants.
