Categorizing Menu Items
Before categorizing your menu item in nimbus, you should have a clear idea about the kind of food items you want to offer and how you would like to categorize them. For example, you may divide your menu into beverages, fast food, desserts, etc.
Once you have decided upon the menu categories, you can create these categories in Nimbus. Just follow the steps listed below:
Go to the Department screen: Configuration>Department
Note: we will define various departments to represent each category.
