Menu Categories are simply the umbrellas that each meal type falls under. That means you will need to identify the different categories that your meals fall in. This can be anything ranging from Main Menu, Sides, Combos, Starters to Pasta, Rice, Pastries, and so on.
You start by creating your categories and then you can go ahead to add the menu items that fall under each category.
How to create menu categories
Click on the Menu icon at the bottom of the screen. This will display: Categories, Option groups, Option Items, and Packs.
Select Categories.
Click on the “+” sign at the bottom right, this allows you to create a category name.
For example, if you want to add “Jollof rice” as a menu item, you can create a category called “Rice” and then add Jollof Rice and all your other rice meals under this category.
If you want to add “Milkshake” as a menu item, you can create a category called “Drinks” and then add Milkshake and all your other drinks under this category.
Input the category name and toggle the Publish now button.
Click Create category at the bottom of the screen.
Repeat this for as many categories as you want to create for your meals.
