Create and Manage Categories
1 min read#40
Categories organize your menu in the POS. Find them under Menu → Categories.
Create a category:
- Click + Add category
- Enter a name (e.g. "Food", "Drinks", "Dessert")
- Choose a color for the category (shown in the POS)
- Save
Create a subcategory:
- Click ⋯ (three dots) next to a main category
- Select Add subcategory
- Enter a name (e.g. "Starters", "Mains")
- 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.
