Corporate Domain

The Corporate domain handles operations that span all 500+ restaurant locations and are managed from headquarters. It contains three bounded contexts and two external system integrations.

The Corporate domain defines its own user personas: CorporateHeadChef, ProcurementManager, and MarketingManager.

Bounded Contexts

Context	Purpose	Entities	Details
Menu Management	Recipes, pricing, releases	MenuItem, MenuRelease	Atomic distribution
Supply Chain	Vendor ordering	PurchaseOrder	Bulk procurement
Marketing	Campaigns, promotions	Campaign	Multi-channel

Plus two external contexts: PrintingService and PhotographyService.

Cross-Domain Integration

The Corporate domain publishes to the Restaurant domain:

• MenuManagement → Restaurants — The ToRestaurants adaptor distributes published menu releases atomically to all restaurant locations. This solves the Head Chef's monthly coordination bottleneck.

The Corporate domain also coordinates with BackOffice:

• SupplyChain ↔ Inventory — Purchase orders from Corporate supply chain result in stock receipts at individual restaurant inventory contexts.

Design Decisions

Why atomic menu distribution? From the Head Chef interview: monthly menu updates required coordinating with printers, the website team, and 500+ locations. The MenuRelease entity models this as an atomic operation — menu changes are bundled into a release, finalized, and published simultaneously to all locations.

Why separate Marketing? Marketing campaigns operate on different timelines and with different stakeholders than menu management. Keeping them separate means the marketing team can create, schedule, and launch campaigns without touching the menu management workflow.
