    1 min read#40

    Categories organize your menu in the POS. Find them under Settings → Menu → Menu (categories).

    Create a category:

    1. Click + Add category
    2. Enter a name (e.g. "Food", "Drinks", "Dessert")
    3. Choose a color for the category (shown in the POS)
    4. Save

    Create a subcategory:

    1. Click (three dots) next to a main category
    2. Select Add subcategory
    3. Enter a name (e.g. "Starters", "Mains")
    4. Save

    Edit a category:

    • Double-click on the category name to rename it directly
    • Click Edit to change color or other settings

    Sort categories:

    • Drag and drop categories in your desired order
    • The order applies both in admin and in the POS

    Delete a category:

    • Click Delete
    • Items in the category lose their category assignment but are not deleted

    Tips:

    • Use clear, short names – they appear as tabs in the POS
    • Color-coding helps staff quickly find the right category
    • Keep the number of main categories under 8–10 for the best overview

    This feature is part of Vendion POS.
