## Managing Restaurants

Registered users can add and manage restaurants through the **My Restaurants** section of their account dashboard. Restaurants added to the system can later appear on the Transnational Trails map once they have been reviewed and approved by a Content Manager.

### Accessing My Restaurants

After signing in, users can open the **My Account** page and select **My Restaurants** from the account menu.

This section displays all restaurants created by the user. Each restaurant is shown in a table with the following information:

* **Title**
* **Status**
* **Date**
* **Actions**

The available actions allow users to **view**, **edit**, or **delete** a restaurant.

### Restaurant Status

When a restaurant is first submitted, its status is set to **Pending**. This means that the restaurant has been saved successfully and is waiting for review.

After the restaurant is approved by a Content Manager, its status changes to **Published**. Published restaurants become visible on the **Transnational Trails map** and are marked with the Culinary Trail restaurant icon, shown as a spoon in the Culinary Trail style.

### Adding a New Restaurant

To create a new restaurant, users should click the **Add new Restaurant** button in the **My Restaurants** section.

This opens the restaurant submission form, where users can enter the main information about the restaurant.

### Submitting a Restaurant

The restaurant will then appear in the **My Restaurants** list with the status **Pending**. Once it has been reviewed and approved by a Content Manager, the status will change to **Published**.

### Viewing a Restaurant

Users can click **View** to open the public restaurant page.

On this page, users can see the restaurant’s details, including its featured image, address, contact information, website, map location, and description. The page may also display ratings and user comments.

Logged-in users can leave a review and rating for the restaurant.

### Editing or Deleting a Restaurant

From the **My Restaurants** list, users can manage their restaurants using the available action buttons.

The **Delete** button removes the restaurant from the user’s list.

If changes are made to a restaurant, they may need to be reviewed again before appearing publicly.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.culinarytrail.eu/guides/restaurants.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
