Menu categories
In this section, we'll guide you through creating, updating, arranging, and deleting categories on NeatMenu.
Creating a category
To create a new category within a menu, follow these steps:
- Open the menu where you'd like to create a new category.
- Click on the "Create category" button and provide a name for the category, which will help customers easily identify the type of offerings it contains. Optionally, you can also add a description and an image to provide further context and visual appeal.
- Click the "Save" button to save the category.
Updating a category
To edit an existing category, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the desired menu and click on the category you wish to update.
- Click the "Update Category" button in the top right part of page.
- Make any necessary changes to the category name, description, or image.
- Click the “Save” button to save the changes.
Arranging categories
To change the order in which categories appear within a menu, within the menu's category listing, click and hold the drag icon and drop the category to the desired position. This allows you to prioritize specific categories according to your preferences.
Hiding categories
To temporarily hide a category from your customers' view, locate the toggle button next to the category on the menu category listing and click it. This will allow you to hide or display categories as needed without deleting them.
Deleting categories
Please exercise caution when deleting a category, as this action permanently removes the category and all the items within it. Locate and click the "Delete" button or a similar option. A warning message will appear, reminding you that deleting a category will also remove all associated items. If you're certain about your decision, click "Yes" or "Confirm" to proceed with the deletion.
