Arrange categories and items in the order you want guests to browse them. Change both in your Owner Dashboard, or change category order in the Owner App.
Requirements
The Manage menus permission. See Staff jobs and permissions.
Before you start
Choose your location and menu first. If several menus use the same category, changing its item order affects all of them.
If your menu comes from a third-party POS (a POS from another company, not Owner POS), click Override beside the list before dragging its entries. This changes the order guests see in Owner, not the order in your third-party POS.
In the Owner Dashboard
Change category order inside the menu. Change item order inside the category.
Reorder categories
Open Menu › Menus and select the menu.
Find Categories.
Drag the dots beside a category to its new position.
Click Save Menu.
Reorder items within a category
Open Menu › Categories and select the category.
Find Items.
Drag the dots beside an item to its new position.
Click Save Category.
For items that come from a third-party POS, click Override beside Items to change their order. View POS Item order shows the order from your third-party POS without changing anything.
⚠️ Restore from POS changes the category as soon as you confirm. It puts items back in the order from your third-party POS, can separate combined items, and discards category changes you haven't saved.
Read Customize how your third-party POS menu looks in Owner before you restore.
On your Owner Tablet or Owner POS
Use these steps for menus you build in Owner, including Owner POS menus. If your menu comes from a third-party POS (a POS from another company), use the Owner Dashboard steps above. Tap Done after changing the order.
