How to Create a New Menu Group

Menu groups are a great way to organize your menu items in Foodics. They allow you to group similar items together and make it easier for your cashiers to find what they're looking for.

Important Note Before You Start

Please ensure that the user has the required permissions in the Console before performing any actions related to menu group management.

If the Menu Groups Section Is Not Visible

If the Menu Groups section does not appear while attempting to manage menu groups in the Console, this is usually due to missing permissions on the user account, especially if the user is not the account owner.

How to Check Permissions

To verify the permissions, please follow these steps:

• Go to Manage

• Select Roles

• Choose the role assigned to the user account

If the Roles page is not visible, please contact the account owner to update the user’s permissions.

Required Permission

Please make sure the following permission is enabled:

• Read Menu

• Manage Menu

Once this permission is enabled, the Menu Groups section will appear, and menu groups can be managed normally through the Console.

A Menu Group can be different per cashier device and Call Center orders.

A group can contain products, combos, gift card products, and subgroups.

Refer to the following steps to create a menu group:

1. Click on Menu 

2. Click Menu Builder 

3. Click on Groups.

4. Click on Create Group 

5. A pop-up window will open with the following fields:

• Name (obligatory field): Enter the name of the new group. For example, cold drinks and hot drinks.
• Name Localized: Enter the localized name in a 2^nd language of your choice.

6. Click Save.

Note: You can add an image to the group that will appear in the Cashier Application from the edit group button. You can also delete the group from the same form.

After that, must assign the related elements to the group including products, sub groups, and modifier options (Click here to learn how to add products to menu groups).
