Build your digital menu by adding categories and items. Set prices, mark dietary preferences, and control which items are available at any time.
Overview
The Menu module lets you create and manage your entire food catalog. Organise items into categories (Starters, Mains, Desserts, Beverages), set prices and tax types, and control item availability throughout the day.
Menu Categories
Categories group your menu items into logical sections. Examples include Appetisers, Main Course, Desserts, Beverages, and Specials. Categories can have a parent-child relationship (e.g., "Beverages" > "Hot Drinks" > "Coffee").

Menu Items
Items are the individual dishes or products you sell. Each item belongs to a category and has a price, unit, and optional settings like tax type and preparation time.
