Error response (store not found) { "success" : false , "message" : "Store not found." }
Notes Sorting: Menu items are automatically sorted first by category (alphabetically), then by name (alphabetically) within each category.
Search behavior: The search parameter performs a case-insensitive partial match on the menu item name. For example, searching for “coffee” will match “Iced Coffee”, “Coffee Latte”, etc.
Availability: The endpoint returns all menu items regardless of their is_available status. Client applications should check the is_available or isAvailable field to determine if an item can be ordered.
Empty results: If no menu items match the filters or if the store has no menu items, the endpoint returns an empty array rather than an error.
