Add, group and remove menu sections

Your sections are the headings on your menu — Pizza, Pasta, Wine. Scanning your menu creates them for you, but you can add, group and remove them by hand at any time in Menu → Categories.

The rule: a section can hold types, and a type holds dishes. One level, no deeper.

How it works

  1. New category, top right, opens a short form: a name, the web address (it follows the name), food or beverage, an emoji, and an optional parent. Saving takes you into the section’s page to finish the rest.
  2. To group sections that already exist, tick them in the list and choose Move under…. Pick the heading — say Wine — and they all move at once.
  3. Ticking the heading itself along with its types is fine. It stays where it is, and the message tells you so.
  4. To pull a type back out, tick it and choose Move under… → None (top-level).
  5. To delete, use the 🗑 on the row, or tick several and choose Delete empty.

Good to know

  • A section that still holds dishes, types, or dishes served from elsewhere is never deleted. Empty it first — the message names what is in the way.
  • A section that has types under it cannot itself become a type. Move its types out first.
  • Nothing you group is lost. Dishes stay exactly where they are; only the heading above them changes.
  • Diners see the change straight away on your public menu, with the types as filters inside the section.
