Summary
Menu sections in WaiterMate improve navigation by grouping and organising menu items effectively. Subsections provide additional categorisation for better structure. These sections are created, edited, or removed in OfficeMate, with customisation options such as naming, colours, triggers, and activation strategies to suit business requirements.
Menu sections appear on the left-hand side of the WaiterMate screen and organise menu items for efficient access. Subsections further categorise items for clarity. Sales associated with menu sections are tracked and reported in OfficeMate.
