Resturant Items
Allow Owners and General Managers access to change the food images, food names, and menus through an in city way. Maybe giving a certain Permission through the job app that we can give ranks to do this so we can be selective for who has access to change food and drinks around.
I feel that would take a lot of work and stress off of developers in the long run if we were allowed to do it. Especially since it has taken devs up to 6 months in the past to change items for the restaurant.
It would also be great especially since we could get a perfect time to get our items ready and have more themed food for seasons, holidays or special requests for events and parties, which could make more roleplay interactions for the restaurants.

I know that you're a bit new to the player-owned business management for Echo, but I genuinely don't believe that this is an actual issue. "In the past" it would take time for items to be introduced to businesses - but there are plenty of good reasons as to why that is.
For updates as simple as updating food images or menu items, these can be done pretty easily and it wouldn't take months of work to do. There are over 30 player-owned businesses in Echo, each with their own requests and needs and ideas -- which is about as many staff as we have to oversee the entire server, as well as the number of developers that we have devoted to working on bugs and features for the server. 😅
The Chamber of Commerce and the staff team review all of the items and ideas that are being suggested by businesses to ensure that that they are up to the quality standards of the server, that the business doesn't have too many items already (or are duplicating items from another business), and that the business is active and functioning at a high enough level that meets our expectations to devote the dev hours to.
Especially since the developer team is stretched between many projects and aspects of Echo (both for FiveM and RedM). This means that they are not just working on player-owned businesses - so only a few will have time to devote to these things. They really only get assigned to work on these sorts of suggestions and updates when other more pressing or pertinent issues/expansions are not being worked on, and then only after the COC and staff team review/approve the suggestions.
So, yes, while some things will take time - circumventing the process that we have laid out for the COC and staff, and devs, kind of goes against our expectations for quality control. And, again, most simple updates such as these will not take anywhere near 6 months to get implemented. It is something that is said, and has been repeated 100 times, but in practice is rarely the case for something as simple as an image update or a food addition.

though the initial Dev Work would be challenging I feel that the long term effects of this would be very optimal
