Create categories and sections

Group items into categories, and use sections to label product lists for on-site ordering.

Categories group your items, like "Burgers" or "Drinks". Sections label your product lists so you can link guests straight to part of your menu.

Create a category

Open Categories

Go to Products, then Categories. Click New.

Name it

Type the title at the top. The name is required in English. Use the language buttons to add other languages.

Save

Each category in the list shows which product lists it is in.

Add items to a category

You add items to a category on the item page, under Categories. See Create and edit items.

Open a category to see its items. Drag them to set the order they are shown in.

Put a category in a product list

A category only reaches customers once it is in a product list. See Product lists (menus).
