Current Behavior
I updated Minecolonies the other day to the latest version as well as all the dependencies. I joined an old world and noticed a lot of the UI elements changed in the huts, which looked ok. Then I noticed the restaurant, now called the dining hall, kept requesting food. The inventory had more than enough food. I went into creative and I gave about 3-4 stacks of each food and waiter was still requesting. I went into menu, removed all but 1 item and waiter was still requesting food. So I created new (creative)world, had only LV5 town hall, 1 LV5 residence and LV5 dining hall, assigned only 1 citizen as waiter, set 1 item in menu, set fuel, etc... Waiter requested food and I gave 6 stacks of that item and waiter finally stopped requesting, but as soon as 1 citizen ate, they started requesting again.
Expected Behavior
Don't know if it's the new menu setup or what, but in the old version of Minecolonies, even with all the menu items checked, once they had only a few items, they would stop requesting.

I just reverted back to 1.20.1-1.1.629-BETA and restaurant worked as before. There is 16 steak, 32 mutton and 21 cooked chicken in inventory and cook is not requesting food for a LV5 restaurant.
The restaurant stocks up to one stack per restaurant level per item, which is why a level 5 restaurant wants more than 3 stacks of those food types
The way the menu worked is different now. Previously it was an allow list, of what they could serve, and only a couple of the items (the ones which were available or craftable) would be delivered Nowadays, it is a menu. The waiter actively requests the items on the menu, 16 at a time, until they are at the limit they have per level
Ok. I can see with a larger town that might be suitable, but for a small town, that puts the courier in a endless cycle of delivering to the dining hall. There needs to be an option to set a min/max amount of food to be kept in stock, not a hard coded limit.
So, with a LV5 dining hall, that's 5 stacks of each menu item and if you have, say 5 items, that's 1600 items they are requesting. That's cooked items, not all the required items to create a dish, unless you just stick to basics like chicken, beef, mutton, fish, etc.. and that will not satisfy higher level citizens. Seems to me it's just over complicating things.
They only request 16 at a time though, so it's not that they are requesting 1600 items. They are requesting 16. They may make 5 requests for 16, depending on what you have in stock, but it is a good thing to have food in stock =) And with a small town, you are a lot less likely to have that many things on the menu, you only need one type per dining hall level, and with a small town you are less likely to have a higher level dining hall.
This does not become an endless cycle though, once the restaurant is stocked it doesn't change anything anymore. If it's 16 a time when the restaurant is at only 16, or 16 at a time when the restaurant is at 1600 is the same load at the end. It's just a higher upfront load.
