Food Management Overview

This guide will help you understand how you can manage food menus, food items and food categories from a single Food section. In this section you can add, update, delete the menus, items and its categories.

The Food Module is designed to streamline how food offerings are structured, categorized, and managed. It enables easy creation, customization, and organization of all food-related services for venues or restaurants.

Food Menus: Food Menus are curated collections of food offerings tailored to specific events, cuisines, or meal types. Menus can be customized based on client preference. Each menu can include multiple food categories and items, making it easy to present and manage a cohesive food experience.

Food Category: Categories help in logically grouping food items under themes such as Starters, Main Course, Desserts, Beverages, etc. They improve user navigation and make it easier to browse or select items during the ordering process. Each category can contain one or more food items.

Food Items: These are individual dishes listed under relevant categories. Each food item contains details like the item name, description and price. Items can also be tagged for menus.
