Organize your menu into categories
Create your menu's sections, order them with position numbers and choose which ones customers see.
Categories are the sections of your menu, such as Breakfast, Mains or Drinks. Every product needs at least one, so this is a good place to start. Owners and Administrators create and edit them.
Create a category
- Categories
- New category
- Tap New category
- Enter the Name
Optionally add a Description: it appears under the section title on your menu.
- Choose its Position on menu
Lower positions appear first.
- Leave Show on the menu turned on
- Tap Save changes
To edit a category, tap the pencil to its right in the list.
Change the order
There's no drag and drop: the order comes from each category's Position on menu number, which the list shows next to its name. Products inside a section follow their own position, which you set when editing each product.
Show or hide a category
Use each category's switch in the list, which reads Visible or Hidden. When hidden, its products disappear from your menu, except those that are also in another visible category. Hiding deletes nothing: the products and your order history stay put.
A visible category only appears on your menu if it has at least one product that isn't archived.
Close it just for today
If you've run out of breakfast or the kitchen is swamped, tap Close for today next to the category. It goes back to its normal schedule at midnight, or sooner if you tap Follow the schedule. We cover this in depth in category hours.
Frequently asked questions
Can I delete a category?
No, categories can't be deleted. Hide it with its switch and, if you like, move its products to another section.
I created a category and it doesn't show on my menu.
Check that it's Visible and has at least one product. Empty categories aren't shown to customers.
Can a product be in two categories?
Yes. When editing the product, tick it under Additional categories. See how to create products.
