Categories
Organize your menu into groups that make sense for your restaurant.
1
What is this?
Categories are the groups your menu is organized into — things like Appetizers, Main Course, Drinks, Desserts. They appear as tabs on the POS screen so your staff can quickly find items, and they organize your reports too.
2
What problem does it solve?
Without categories, your POS shows one giant list of everything you sell. Staff waste time scrolling through 80 items to find a beer. Your sales report is a wall of numbers with no structure.

Pro tip
Keep it under 10 categories. If staff need more than two taps to find an item on the POS, you have too many categories. Think about how your menu is actually structured, not how a cookbook would organize things.
