How-To Use Category Groups

Category Groups are used to group Categories so that different downloads can be created for the menu, such as full menu, lunch menu.

Sometimes a new menu request will request multiple menus for the same restaurant. Typically this is because they will have a brunch menu, a lunch menu or an all-day menu.

In woflow, you will transcribe all categories and items into 1 version of a menu, and then use Category Groups to add Categories to a group, and then you will call that group 'Brunch', or 'Lunch'. Note: the default download for the client will be the complete menu, so if there is a request for a Full Menu or All-Day menu that is all the categories you transcribed, you do not need to make an explicit Category Group for that! 

This gives you the benefit of having 1 version of a category (say, 'Burgers') that can then be shown in the 'Lunch' menu as well as the 'All-Day' menu, even though it just exists as 1 Category!

After you have completed transcribing ALL Categories and Items: 

  1. From the main menu page, click the 'Category Groups' tab

  2. Click '+ Create New Category Group'

  3. Give it a name (start and end times are optional)

  4. Select the Categories that exist for that Category Group

  5. Click Save

  6. Create any other Category Groups needed
