## Model Features and Business Logic

### Smart Trait Integration
The Operator model automatically includes optimized traits based on ThrillWiki patterns:

```php
use HasLocation;        // Geographic coordinate management
use HasSlugHistory;     // SEO-friendly URL management with history
use HasCaching;         // Performance optimization caching
use SoftDeletes;        // Safe deletion with recovery capability
```

### Pre-configured Relationships
```php
// Operator relationships (automatically generated)
public function parks()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Park::class);
}

// Note: Operator manages theme parks, not manufacturing
// Manufacturing relationships belong to Manufacturer model
```

### Performance Optimization Features
- **Query Scopes**: `active()`, `optimized()` scopes for efficient queries
- **Eager Loading**: Pre-configured relationship loading
- **Database Indexing**: Optimized indexes in migration
- **Caching Integration**: Built-in model caching support
- **Pagination**: Automatic pagination support

### Django Parity Field Structure
```php
// Fields matching Django Company model
protected $fillable = [
    'name',
    'slug',
    'description',
    'founded_year',
    'website',
    'logo_url',
    'country',
    'is_active',
    'latitude',
    'longitude',
    'address'
];
```

## Database Schema

### Operators Table Structure
```sql
CREATE TABLE operators (
    id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    slug VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    description TEXT,
    founded_year INTEGER,
    website VARCHAR(255),
    logo_url VARCHAR(255),
    country VARCHAR(100),
    is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,
    latitude DECIMAL(10,8),
    longitude DECIMAL(11,8),
    address TEXT,
    created_at TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP,
    deleted_at TIMESTAMP
);

-- Performance indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_operators_slug ON operators(slug);
CREATE INDEX idx_operators_country ON operators(country);
CREATE INDEX idx_operators_active ON operators(is_active);
CREATE INDEX idx_operators_location ON operators(latitude, longitude);
```
