Categories

Categories are the sections of your menu, such as Starters, Mains, Desserts, and Drinks. Guests move between categories with the tabs at the top of the menu. Every item that guests can order belongs to one category.

Open Categories under Menu Setup in the sidebar.

Add a Category

1. Select Add category.
2. Enter a Name, for example Starters. Two categories cannot share a name.
3. Add a short Description if you want. Guests do not see it, but it helps your team.
4. Upload an Image if you want a picture on the category tab. Images can be JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF and must be under 5 MB.
5. Set the Sort Order. Lower numbers appear first on the guest menu. Use 0, 10, 20, and so on, so you can slot a new category in between later.
6. Select Save.

Edit a Category

Select the three-dot menu at the end of the row, then Edit. Change any field and select Save. Changes appear on the guest menu right away.

Reorder Categories

Edit each category and change its Sort Order. Categories with the same number keep the order they were created in. Select the Sort Order column header to see the current order.

Delete a Category

Select the three-dot menu, then Delete, and confirm.

You cannot delete a category that still has active menu items. Move those items to another category first, or set them to Draft or Archived on the Menu page. See Menu Items.
