Organize your menu into categories
Create, rename, reorder and delete categories, and change the order of products.
Categories are the sections of your menu: Starters, Mains, Drinks, Desserts. Every product lives in one, and the order you set here is exactly what your customer sees.
Creating a category
- Go to the "Menu" section.
- Click "Add category".
- Type the Category name (50 characters maximum).
- Click "Create".
Two categories can't share a name: if you repeat one, you'll see "You already have a category with this name".
You can also create a category without leaving a product form, using the "New category" button.
Renaming or deleting
Each category has a gear icon with three options:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rename | Edits the name. Products don't move |
| Sort products | Changes the order within that category (needs at least 2 products) |
| Delete | Removes the category |
Important: you can't delete a category that still has products. First move them to another category (by editing each product and changing its Category field) or delete them.
Changing the order
- Category order: click "Sort" in the top bar. It appears once you have at least 2 categories.
- Product order within a category: category gear icon → "Sort products".
In both cases you drag items into position and click "Save". It also works with the keyboard if you'd rather not drag.
Tip: put what you want to sell first. Highlights and promos at the top, drinks and add-ons at the end. On a digital menu, what's seen first is what gets ordered most.
What doesn't show on the public menu
A category with no visible products is skipped automatically. If you created "Desserts" but all its products are Hidden, your customer won't see an empty section.
FAQ
Is there a category limit? No, they're unlimited on every plan.
Can I move several products to another category at once? Not yet. You need to edit each product and change its Category field.
I changed the order and don't see it on my menu. Make sure you clicked "Save" in the sort dialog, then reload the public menu.
