Use this article to change the order in which your menu categories appear to customers on DoorDash. You will open the DoorDash Merchant Portal, go to Menu Manager, open Menu Settings, use Rearrange Categories to drag a category to a new position in the category list, and save the new order so it applies to your menu.
Before You Begin
Before you rearrange your menu categories, confirm you can sign in to the DoorDash Merchant Portal and open Menu > Menu manager. Decide which menu category you want to move and where you want it to appear in the category list.
Important: Rearrange Categories applies only to the menu selected in Menu Manager, shown in the menu name dropdown above the category list. If your store has more than one menu, select the menu you want to change before you open Menu Settings, and repeat these steps for each additional menu.
Important: Your new menu category order is not applied until you click Save in step 6. If you click Cancel or close the Rearrange Categories window, your menu keeps its previous category order.
How to Rearrange Your Menu Categories
Follow these six steps to rearrange the categories on your DoorDash menu in the Merchant Portal.
Navigate to your DoorDash Merchant Portal.
Click Menu in the left navigation, then open Menu manager.
On the Menu Manager page, confirm the correct menu is selected in the menu name dropdown, then click Menu Settings in the top right.
Click Rearrange Categories in the Menu Settings dropdown.
In the Rearrange Categories window, drag the six-dot handle to the left of a category name to move that menu category to the position you want. To feature a section first, drag its category to the top of the list.
Click Save at the bottom of the Rearrange Categories window to apply your new menu category order.
What Happens After You Save
After you click Save, the DoorDash Merchant Portal stores the new order of your menu categories for the menu you selected in Menu Manager. The order you set in the Rearrange Categories window is the order your categories appear in, so dragging a menu category to the top of the category list places that section first for customers browsing your DoorDash menu.
You can return to Menu > Menu manager > Menu Settings > Rearrange Categories at any time to change the order of your menu categories again.
