Categories and brands

Organizing your catalogue properly helps your cashiers find items quickly and keeps your reports easy to read.

Creating a category

Categories are like folders for your products. Note: Retail products and F&B Menu items use separate categories.

1. Go to the Categories section under the Products or Menu tab.
2. Click Add Category.
3. Enter the Name of the category (e.g., "Beverages" or "Snacks").
4. Adding a picture: Upload an image for the category. This image will appear as a button on the POS screen, making it faster for cashiers to navigate.
5. Click Save.

Note: Categories do not choose a kitchen station. In restaurants and cafés, you choose where each item's order goes (like the Bar or Kitchen) on the item itself. See Adding products.

Tip: You can also create a new category on the fly directly while adding a new product by clicking the + Add New option in the dropdown.

Creating a brand

Brands help you track which manufacturers' items are selling best. They are mainly used for retail products.

1. Go to the Brands section under the Products tab.
2. Click Add Brand.
3. Enter the brand Name.
4. Uploading a logo: Upload the brand's logo.
5. Click Save. Like categories, you can also create brands directly while adding a new product.

Reordering how they appear

Currently, categories and brands are typically sorted alphabetically or by the date they were created. Keep your names clear and consistent so they naturally list in an intuitive order for your staff.
