How To Create Sub Categories

L
Written by Lucien Hopkinson

Quick answer: In the Nomni Ordering console, first set the categories you want to use as sub categories, then open the parent category and assign them on its Sub Categories tab. A sub category can only sit under one parent category.

For a better customer experience while browsing your menu, Nomni Ordering allows you to create sub categories for a better viewing and menu navigation.

Nomni Ordering now allows changes to be able to show a Category > Sub Category relationship and flow.

E.g: Beverages = Category

Hot Drinks, Cold Drinks = Sub Category

Sub Category relationship and flow. E.g: Beverages = Category Hot Drinks, Cold Drinks = Sub Category

Sub categories will only allow 1 Top level category with multiple sub categories, you can NOT add sub categories of other categories.

b. In the parent category from the Sub Categories tab, you can assign any/all categories that are flagged as a sub category to belong to this parent category.

If your sub-categories are short-named; you may fit 7-8 sub-categories under 1 main category

•However, if the sub-categories' names are too long; they will be cut off on web view and mobile view:
