Research direction

Start by locating the restaurant creation flow and its validation or persistence logic. Reproduce the steps with two restaurants sharing a name under one vendor, then add the requested restriction and clear validation message. Done means the duplicate is rejected while the same name remains usable under a different vendor.

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:

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."
