I think you should change to

const OrderSchema = new Schema({
  cusName: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, 'must provide name'],
    trim: true,
    maxlength: [20, 'name can not be more than 20 charectors'],
  },
  request: [
    {
      foodName: {
        type: String,
        required: [true, 'must provide name'],
        trim: true,
        maxlength: [20, 'name can not be more than 20 charectors'],
      },
      quntity: {
        type: Number,
        required: [true, 'must provide name'],
        trim: true,
      },
      orderTime: {
        type: Number,
        required: [true, 'must provide name'],
        trim: true,
      },
    },
  ],
});

We can allow customers to add more requests
