Hello scripters, I have a food ordering system, however the script is long and takes ages if I want to change something like add / remove an item, here is the main script,

local OrderGui = game.ReplicatedStorage.OrderGui
local player = game:GetService("Players")
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local webhook = "" -- Webhook URL here
local groupid = 6418380
local grouprank = 200
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msgenable)
		if msgenable == "!enablebooking" then
			if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupid) >=grouprank then
				script.Value.Value = true
			end
		end
	end)
	
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		if msg == "!bookfood" then
			if script.Value.Value == false then
				
			else OrderGui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui
			end
			local plrhasgui = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("OrderGui")
			local plrid = plr.UserId
			local plrthumbtype = Enum.ThumbnailType.AvatarBust
			local plrthumbsize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
			local welcomeimage = player:GetUserThumbnailAsync(plrid, plrthumbtype, plrthumbsize)
			local unixtime = os.time()
			local format = "Sent at %X %Z on %A %d %B"
			local timei = os.date(format, unixtime)
			local scroll = plrhasgui.Main.ScrollingFrame
			local ordertext = "Place Order"
			local ordersenttext = "Order Sent"
			local orderpreparing1 = "Preparing."
			local orderpreparing2 = "Preparing.."
			local orderpreparing3 = "Preparing..."
			local foodcoming = "On it's way"
			local enjoytext = "Enjoy!"

			plrhasgui.Main.TopFrame.plrimage.Image = welcomeimage
			plrhasgui.Main.TopFrame.greetingmessage.Text = "Welcome "..plr.Name..", what would you like to order"

			
			-- Tomato Soup
			scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(clicked)
				if plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Tomato Soup") then
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = "Already Ordered"
					wait(3)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = ordertext
				else
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.background.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(173, 173, 173)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = ordersenttext
					wait(5)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = orderpreparing1
					wait(1)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = orderpreparing2
					wait(1)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = orderpreparing3
					wait(1)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = orderpreparing1
					wait(1)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = orderpreparing2
					wait(1)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = orderpreparing3
					wait(1)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = foodcoming
					wait(3)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = enjoytext
					game.ReplicatedStorage.OrderSysFood["Tomato Soup"]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
					wait(2.5)
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.Text = ordertext
					scroll.Tomato_Soup.Order.background.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)

					local sendTomato_Soup = {
						["content"] = '',
						["embeds"] = {{
							["title"] = "Food Ordering",
							["description"] = "**"..plr.Name.."** has ordered **Tomato Soup**.",
							["thumbnail"] = {url = "http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=150&y=150&Format=Png&username="..plr.Name},
							["color"] = 15636761,
							["footer"] = {text = timei}
						}}
					}
					sendTomato_Soup = http:JSONEncode(sendTomato_Soup)
					http:PostAsync(webhook, sendTomato_Soup)
				end

			end)
			

			plrhasgui.Main.TopFrame.CloseButton.MouseEnter:Connect(function(closebuttonenter)
				plrhasgui.Main.TopFrame.CloseButton.background.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(136, 38, 39)
			end)

			plrhasgui.Main.TopFrame.CloseButton.MouseLeave:Connect(function(closebuttonenter)
				plrhasgui.Main.TopFrame.CloseButton.background.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 71, 74)
			end)

			plrhasgui.Main.TopFrame.CloseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(closebuttonenter)
				plrhasgui:Destroy()
			end)
		end
		
	end)
	
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msgdisable)
		if msgdisable == "!disablebooking" then
			if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupid) >=grouprank then
				script.Value.Value = false
			end
		end
	end)
end)

However the lines between

-- Tomato Soup

And

					sendTomato_Soup = http:JSONEncode(sendTomato_Soup)
					http:PostAsync(webhook, sendTomato_Soup)
				end

			end)

I have to do that every single time I add a new tool, and its just infficient. So, I was wondering if anyone could help me make it so that when I put an item of food in a folder It would basically do it for me.

Look into module scripts if you’re wanting a function to be done multiple times over.

Ok, thank you very much I will do.

Piggy-backing off what @aaltUser said, you could also couple module scripts with for loops (if you don’t know how to already) to go through the tools in your folder.

Here’s an article about them:
