Description

Describe the bug
Currently, the system allows creation of multiple restaurants with the same name under the same vendor account. This can lead to confusion, data conflicts, and operational issues. There is no validation or message indicating that the restaurant name already exists.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Log in as a vendor

Create a restaurant/store with a specific name (e.g., "Tasty Bites")

Attempt to create another restaurant with the same name under the same vendor account

Observe that the system allows it without any warning or error

Expected behavior
There should be a restriction in place to prevent creating duplicate restaurant names under the same vendor. The system should display a clear validation message like:
"A restaurant with this name already exists."

Research direction

Start by reproducing the duplicate-name flow for two restaurants under one vendor, then locate the restaurant creation entry point and any related validation or persistence tests. The work is done when duplicate names are rejected only within the same vendor, a clear validation message is shown, and names remain allowed under different vendors.
